Directions to Manaoag, Pangasinan [Merged]

**jut703** · August 16th, 2015 09:00 PM

1. Coming from SLEX, get yourself to NLEX either via EDSA (Balintawak) or C5 (Mindanao Ave).

2. Take NLEX until Mabalacat exit where it connects with SCTEX. Continue til the end of SCTEX (Tarlac City exit) where it connects with TPLEX. Continue til the end of SCTEX (Urdaneta exit). Turn left (since turning right leads you to Baguio already).

4. Continue along McArthur Highway until you see the big intersection with a directional sign to Manaoag. Turn right there and just follow the road.

Yes, Baguio is now just a 4 hour trip, so you can do Manaoag in under 3.

Please be specific with directions. I'll be coming from the South (SLEX) Thanks!

Kaya yan sir 3.5 hours if you're coming out from south. From taguig kasi (Place namin) to manaog kaya ng around 3 hours. Larga lang kayo ng madaling araw para walang traffic mga 3 A.M. Para sakto pag dating nyo sa EDSA or C5 wala ng mga truck. NLEX,SCTEX,TPLEX parin the best way going north.

Thanks everyone. I am really clueless going North. I went to Manaoag last year and we took Carmen Exit.

Tama ba Intindi ko?

Do I pass Dau before Balintawak?
Balintawak Exit
Mabalacat Exit
Tarlac Exit (End of SCTEX)
Urdaneta Exit (End of TPLEX)

Okay pa ba umalis ng 6:30 AM on a Sunday? Balak ko sa August 30 since August 31 is a holiday.

Dau and Mabalacat are the same exit. This is right after the tollgate at the end of NLEX.

Balintawak is in QC and is where you enter NLEX if coming from EDSA. Since you've gone to Manaoag already, just take the same route that you did before, but this time, exit TPLEX at Urdaneta.

Urdaneta exit is new - only opened earlier this year, which is why you exited at Carmen before. Since you can now exit at Urdaneta, you save about 30 minutes as opposed to exiting at Carmen and getting stuck in traffic in the towns of Rosales, Villasis, and Urdaneta.

balintawak muna mam then NLEX till mabalacat exit connecting to SCTEX. then via SCTEX dire-diretso na po ng TPLEX till urdaneta exit. ok pa naman yan 6:30 AM but since you are coming from south (SLEX), baka bago ka makalabas ng balintawak exit ay mga 9AM na. once makalampas ka naman ng balintawak exit maluwag na yan...

Estimated Time of Arrival nyo po ba mam? Anytime ba or gusto nyo maabutan yung morning mass? Kasi kung 6:30 kayo lalarga, expect nyo na around 5 hours ang byahe nyo kasama na traffic at tricycles sa province. Then pag dating nyo sa manaog that time lets say 11:30 A.M. arrival nyo, pahirapan na mag park sa loob pero meron naman outside parking. Kung visit lang ok na po yang time of departure nyo.

BTW: Morning mass sa manaog is every hour from 5 A.M. - 12 noon. Then afternoon mass starts from 3-5 PM.

Kahit 6:30 ka umalis, it'll take less than an hour to get to Balintawak from the south (unless you mean Sta. Rosa south and not Alabang south). In any case, EDSA traffic is very light on a Sunday.

Balintawak NLEX to TPLEX Urdaneta is just 170 km long, so it'll only take you a little over 2 hours if you average 80 kph for the entire stretch of NLEX/SCTEX/TPLEX.

Even if you have breakfast along NLEX, it shouldn't take you 5 hours to get to Manaoag. You won't have many tricycles to deal with since 90% of your travel is on the expressways.

last na punta namen, gumamit lang ako ng waze XD

from cubao to manaoag nakuha namen ng 3 hrs, kasama na yung stopover namen along nlex para magbreakfast.

NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX route.

Cathy, take note may "to manaoag" sign sa mac arthur pag labas mo ng tplex BUT POINTING TO THE RIGHT. DISREGARD THIS SIGN (longer, more traffic) and turn left instead. Then turn right at the first stop light, which is the same road you took last year. POI mo dito yung Norkis Yamaha dealership on the righthand side at the corner of urdaneta-manaoag road.
