Rant
The boss and i went to Naga City to attend the wake of his Grandfather so i had the chance to meet all his relatives from his mother side. They were cool. I got along well with the cousins and we just spent the day laughing and updating each other of our so-called lives. Finally at around 4pm, the beer that Kuya Emil specially requested to be included in the daily grocery list arrived and we started with the ever so famous red horse. I volunteered as the "tanggera" and we drank till around 9pm i think (i was so drunk after 24cans) and they continued with another 24cans of san mig strong(argh!) the boss was already tipsy when i went outside after taking a very long and cold bath. Then we went to the city to try the Kinalas, its just their term for noodles but it tastes very nice. It has a gravy-like sauce that you add into the soup and you pair it with fried siopao. We left next thing in the morning and since we don't have pre-booked tickets we only took our chances of getting a bus.
And hell broke loose.
There it was the mighty Philtranco. Which really pissed me off the entire trip. The regular Naga-Manila trip should only last 8-9hours but we were at the bus for freakin' 12 hours! Imagine our butts getting callouses for seating that long. Their stop-over place was not that good err nice err ok. They consider themselves a restaurant but where in the world will you see a restaurant with lots of stray dogs waiting beside you as if they are your bestfriends? The service is horrifying. The vendors are just clad in sandos and no hair nets at all. Since we left Naga at around 9am we didn't had the chance to buy ourselves a good meal and all the stores at the terminal only offered snack and junk foods. I just settled for a stick of bbq which is as hard as stone and cup of rice which i think was just reheated on that day. Our stomachs were grumbling so we didn't had a choice but to eat their very lame food. This Philtranco bus company must know how their passengers feel after a very long and bumpy ride and must at least give them the decency to rest and indulge in a not necessarily expensive but nice, clean, dust-free and delicious food stop overs. My disappointments really took its toll.
I'm warning everyone who wants to go to Naga or any other city in Bicol to never avail of Philtranco services because they simply suck big time.
Now Go FIGURE!
