PUERTO GALERA

           I've been to Puerto Galera twice. First was with my College friends in UPLB, then with my High School berks last year.
          To get there, you'll need to ride a bus from Manila to Batangas City Pier.  There are several bus stations available in Buendia terminal.  Travel time from Manila to Batangas is approximately 2 hours. Normal fare is approximately Php150. From the pier, you'll have to buy for a boat ticket that ranges from Php400-500 (two way) that would bring you to Mindoro. Travel time from the pier to Mindoro (Puerto Galera, White Beach) is approximately 1 hour.
            Upon arrival at the beach, there are several lodges available that would surely fit your budget.  Average lodging fee is Php1000 per night.  The room is air conditioned with TV and kitchen.
            Any tourist would surely love the scenic view and fine white sand of the beach.  An ideal setting for sun bathing. You can also do beach volleyball, kayaking, banana boating, snorkeling and other beach activities during the day.
           At night, several clubs along the shoreline open.  You would definitely enjoy the hilarious/funny impersonation show of gay entertainers while enjoying a sip of your Mindoro sling.
          With a budget of Php4000-Php5000 per pax, you can surely enjoy Puerto Galera for at least 3 days and 2 nights vacation-ALL IN!!!
