In this post and in the following articles, she
will impart details on the said trip. One
Valenzuela did much of the planning and will also include recommendations as well as several directions she received from
Baguio locals and other friends who also went there recently.
How to get
to Baguio City via Public Transportation from Valenzuela City:
One Valenzuela would say that the easiest way to
reach Baguio City is by riding a Victory Liner bus at their Caloocan Bus
Terminal. The ongoing fare rate is Php445.00 for a one way bus ride. From Malinta,
Valenzuela City, just ride a jeepney going to Monumento (Php10.00). Go down at
Victory Mall. The terminal is just at the back of the mall, you may ask the
security guards on duty for directions.
 |
| If you take the "midnight trip", you will be at Baguio at around 5am! Just sleep in the bus so that you can already roam around the city by morning. Hehe,if you can curtail the excitement! |
This Baguio bus ride is about 6 to 7 hours. Though
it is quite long, it usually has three stops so you can eat and go to the comfort
room.

Baguio Tips:
- It is highly suggested that you reserve tickets a few days before your planned trip. You do not want to have the worries of being a chance passenger, right? You can also choose where to sit inside the bus when you reserve your tickets.
 |
| The midnight trip to Baguio leaves at 11:30pm. One Valenzuela saw several chance passengers lined up. |
- For students, bring your ID on the day that you will reserve your ticket. You will get a 20% discount. From Php445.00, you will just have to pay Php356.00 after presenting the ID. No student ID, no discount.
 |
| Fare rate at Caloocan terminal. When One Valenzuela's family reached their terminal in Baguio, they immediately bought return tickets. |
- Kids below 1.3 meters are free as long as they sit on the lap of their parents/accompanying adult. But since this ride is quite long, One Valenzuela suggests that you just pay the discounted student fare to avoid cramps.
 |
| Little One Valenzuela is already above the 1.3 meter mark. You're growing too fast, babe! |
- In most travels, One Valenzuela recommends that you travel light. For Baguio trips, bring a jacket and a foldable umbrella. By experience, sometimes there’s a drizzle up there during Ber months. And, oh, do not forget to bring a foldable bag for pasalubong!
- If you plan to visit PMA, wear shoes. Slippers are not allowed.
