With fuel prices as high as they are these days, road trips have become such expensive affairs. But hey, if you want to go for a vacation, why not just take the bus?
Here's a potential destination: Catanduanes. Buses are headed to the Municipality of Virac daily via the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange. Granted, this trip won't purely be land travel as it will entail a quick RORO ride, but it will still save you from spending a lot on fuel (or airfare).
