Cheers
By Carlo G. Soldevilla
Written on January 18, 2018

2 priests, 3 nuns in the Soldevilla Clan or Family
January 20-21, 2018, our 2nd Clan reunion-time for jubilee

United in roots, separated by distance, let me share my itinerary:
Tonight, before 11 pm I will take either the Ceres or Dimple bus in Alabang—happy me.

This is the cheapest means so far if you want to travel cheap and fast from Manila to Iloilo.
{Villar has a big mall in Alabang where you can park your car at night (?) for a fee (I don’t know the price how much).}

Walking distance from the Villar mall is the terminal for both Ceres and Dimple buses
From 11 am to 1 pm, the buses will start traveling from Alabang to Iloilo..

..though you may take the night trip-- only that the bus can just take you to Roxas, Mindoro. (From Roxas Mindoro, boat ride and bus ride to Iloilo can be availed any time.).

Bus fare from Alabang to Iloilo for Dimple is P1,450 and that’s until its final destination in Tagbak, Iloilo near Pavia.
Bus fare to Roxas Mindoro is just P650. You may ride the ferry then in Roxas Mindoro bound to Caticlan and the boat fare is just P450 pesos. If I’m not mistaken , the bus ride from Caticlan to Iloilo is just P200 .

To give you an idea, practically from Alabang or Manila, it will cost you P1,000 pesos to reach Caticlan (from Caticlan, you may ride the banca to Boracay if you want to go there.).

Back to the reunion, I will be there in New Lucena Iloilo at 7:00 in the morning of January 20, 2018
That will be the start of the program. See you there, my relatives. Let’s party…Cheers to the Soldevilla Family.

Note: The poet (your truly) has always been mindful of VFM (Value for Money). He learned this in India when he was there for a 2-week training sponsored by ‘Bill Gates’ Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Bank and ASCI (Administrative Staff College of India - school in India where the prime minister of India meet with the other government officials of India.).
