$20 First Class Bus (to Philippines Coldest City) 🇵🇭
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 06. 2024
- I was fed up of Manila's scorching heat so I boarded a bus out of town. My destination being the coldest city in the Philippines.
Baguio is known as the 'Summer Capital' of the Philippines and is very popular with domestic tourists looking for a break from the roasting hot weather in their own province.
There are direct buses running between Manila and Baguio very frequently, but there are different classes with different levels of comfort. Given that it was to be a 6 hour journey (depending on the traffic) I made sure to book the highest category of bus, 'First Class'.
There are many different bus companies in Luzon but I don't think there's much difference between them in terms of service and comfort. I chose to go with Victory Liner.
At the Victory Liner bus station in Pasay there's a dedicated waiting room for first class passenger. Nothing fancy, just some tea, coffee and a TV, but the main thing is the air conditioning. I was able to sit in comfort until the bus was ready to depart.
The first class bus has a 1-2 seating arrangement, so it's possible to book a seat alone without someone next to you. That's perfect for someone like me travelling solo. You don't want to be touching arms with a stranger for 6 hours like on some budget airline.
It didn't even take 6 hours though. The bus took ages to get out of Manila, due to the ridiculous traffic, but after that the roads were clear and we arrived in Baguio much sooner than I expected.
I thought the ticket price of 1,049 PHP ($18.63) was worth it for all the space I had, but other than that there's nothing fancy about the bus. No individual entertainment units, charging ports, anything like that.
The Victory Liner terminal in Baguio is located directly opposite a Jollibee restaurant so the first thing I did in Baguio was enjoy a delicious Double Yumburger.
I then checked in to the Orchard Hotel. It was the best hotel I could find in the central area of Baguio. There were some better hotels but they were in more remote areas.
My room at Orchard Hotel was hardly perfect, but the view from the balcony was awesome.
Getting close to sunset, I decided to visit the huge hangout area in the centre of Baguio called Burnham Park. There were loads of vendors selling ice cream and other treats, and a huge lake where people were enjoying boat rides.
So after enjoying a "special" strawberry ice cream, that I've no idea what was so special about it, I jumped on a pontoon and did a lap of the lake.
As the sun set, I got myself another sweet treat, a special "Ice Scramble" which is something like a Halo-halo and headed back to my hotel to enjoy a room service massage. Life is good.

Travelling to Baguio was an excellent decision. I love the fresh air and the general relaxed vibe it has. Are there any other popular mountain cities in the Philippines I should visit?
Check Sagada Mountain Province!
Check Sagada mountain province dale! It's 6hrs away from Baguio City.❤
May check mountains in Banaue, Sagada or in Rizal.. I love the Osmena Mountain in Cebu as well.
Try visiting Tagaytay, Dale. Hope you can also visit Cebu soon. ❤️
Angeles City dale!
Studied and worked in Baguio for a few years and I must say, the taxi drivers in baguio are far different from taxis in manila. Most of them are locals, they're very honest and kind.
they give you your change....I salute taxi drivers in Baguio
The more reason I look forward going to Baguio.
Filipino are so good in english... Shout out to all people of Filipin from Indonesia
Thank you
Spanish born in the Philippines, thanks.
Dale teaches us all a very important lesson. To not stress in life and enjoy it
Yeah if you become champion in poker face and become incredibly rich
@@narushiki135 I doubt if he became very rich just by playing poker. He might have earned $ 10-15k and that doesn't last very long. His major earnings are from his channel. Also, how do you know for sure his life is stress-free? Money does brings comfort no doubt, but doesn't remove stress from your life.
It's much easier to say that when you have the financial means and the free time to travel around the world all year long, which means you don't have to worry about working full time to pay your bills and survival and you don't have hungry children waiting for you to bring the next pay check in so the family can eat.
dude was a poker player and already had tons of money.
@@Cupapet93 how long do you think his poker money would last? If it lasted long, then why has he become a youtuber?
I really just love how friendly everyone is in the Philippines, thank u Dale for showing me these amazing cultures
Dale, Taxi drivers in Baguio are supposed to be some of the most honest in the world. They’ll give you back your change even if it’s just 5 cents. They also use the meter.
How about Manila taxi drivers lol
@@killua5081hahha Manila taxi drivers will change from NAIA to Makati 5000 piso
@@killua5081 sadly, they’re pretty much the same as taxi drivers in most big cities in the world especially in South East and South Asia, Africa, the Balkans, Central Asia and particularly South America and presumably your city.
@@honusblanco1259 We have the most honest taxi drivers here in Japan♥️
It depends, i lost my airpods 2 pro inside a taxi there, and it was never been found. How it should work is he could of returned it to the nearest police station near the pick up location according to a local friend.
Never mind have fun stay safe GBU all!
So far Dale this is the smoothest Philippine Vlog you've done after Intramuros. Better be with someone like a good local to fully navigate and explore Baguio.
When I travel to different cities and islands, I always inquire with locals or seasoned expats first thing, even before booking a room. I traveled to Pundaquet a 4 hour ride from Manila and rented a boat for 12 hours for just 3000 pesos. Great price and killed the Tuna 🐟!
Dale Philipp thank you for promoting our country around the globe it's our great honor as a filipino
which city i have to visit first in philippines ?
@@thetigers7777manlia
@@thetigers7777 I reccomend davao city as it has varied tourist spots to visit. Happy travelling bruv.
Hi Dale, The taxis in Baguio or the White Cabs are the safest and most honest Taxis here in the Philippines. You don't have to haggle with them, once you take it just tell them the location and they would always use the meter which is much cheaper than Grab. Hope you enjoyed the stay.
Agree! With The taxi drivers in Baguio, there is no haggling of prices, they use their meters- and when they drop you off, they would even give you every bit of change you are entitled to (rather than assuming it is their tip). I have always felt safe taking taxis in Baguio.
He is just worry maybe ? because a lot of crook taxi driver in Manila especially if they are foreigner they will charge them triple !🤔
@@titaedlynv. sorry to say, and this does not hold true for all Manila cab drivers because there are some honest ones for sure, but with Baguio cab drivers, you really feel much safer and more confident you won’t get taken advantage of
I don't agree sadly... my family got scammed from same white taxis in Baguio last December as we were charged 300+ pesos for less than 2km trip, we're not even foreigner tourists :(
So true! Totally agree with you.
Well, that's Baguio for you dude. The residents/native there are one of the nicest and honest people here in the Philippines. And there's actually a 5 seconds mandatory traffic stop in every pedestrian in Baguio. You sleep on the street with your things you still wake up with them I can guarantee.
😂😜😝
He was not stressed but i was while watching him here. He is so active and talkative. What an extrovert. :)
I used to play for Baguio Football Club back then. Our girls team actually made it really far. It really helped me overcome home sickness when I moved 😄
For Filipinos, Baguio is always a good idea. So many happy memories. 😂 Hope you had the chance to visit nearby mountain provinces and places - Atok, Banaue, Batad, Sagada etc. Lots of mountains to hike for your two strong legs haha. I prefer them more than the beaches because the weather is cooler haha
@@TheOnlyTruthTalkeryou need psychiatric help. Sorry if you are sad and resorted to trolling
Beside... His King Size Bed, really disappointed Dale ..
Why Twin single bed... Omy!😂
You have no idea Dale how many times I cam here to check if a new vlog up! This put a smile on my face. Hope you are doing well. Carry on this wonderful work of yours! Inspired
same here :)
I can feel you bro 😅
I love how confident as well as cautious dale is. Also seems to just love the journey
I'm glad you went to Baguio. Finally someone who went to the lesser known places in the Philippines. Enjoy!
@@TheOnlyTruthTalkeryou're literally invested in hating a country stop giving a fck if you don't like
There is simply NO COMPARISON between you my friend and other travel channels! Much love and respect 🙌🏻🌟
Thanks bro. You can count the good CZcams travel channels on one hand.
@@Dale_Philipand the ones that come to mind, are some of the ones you've collaborated with haha.
It's true! I can count on one hand how many of them I'd actually sit and watch an hour of them travelling.
@Dale_Philip I agree 100%. You make awesome vlogs and my favourite vloger with the best content by far, because you're not at all pretentious like most of the vlogers. Enjoy your stay brother.
❤from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Luke Damant's and Dailymax's are nice channels too
@Dale_Philip Absolutely! and yours has been consistent and fully entertaining throughout the years. Thanks for spoiling us with your travels! 🙌🏻
I've never been in Orchard Hotel. When I went to baguio I stayed a week in Hotel Veniz, I was planning to get a cheap $40 room but they're fully booked so I got an $80 one instead and it has an actual king size bed and everything is also shiny and looked modern and actually has food stocked in the fridge.
Hey Dale good to see you in Baguio, actually taxis there are very honest and reliable when commuting, its actually cheaper than other cities.
True 👍
Manila is full of scams, when you unload at PITX you may not pay but if they didn't turn on their meters 😂😂😂
Although its hard to get tqxis in Baguio, they dont bargain with the price nor ask for a tip .
Dale’s long duration videos doesn’t disappoint bcoz it’s includes all segment, kudos to the long videos
Yes the Baguio Vlog! Better than watching a movie!
Burnham Park is really amazing, I feel that everyone there is very happy!
Thank you very much for sharing, super great job! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏

Good lord, that Jollibees, look at their body language and their service. Wow!!! You don't get that in the UK. The Philippines is a place that everyone should visit!
Dale, your vlogs are always interesting and keep audience engaged, day 2 was well planned too.. It’s challenging at times to make lengthy vlogs yet keeping your audience engaged the whole time big thumbs up 👍🏻❤
You are alive! 😂 I kept hoping you would post soon xx
Dale you are so unassuming and as raw as it gets and your interaction with the locals is always entertaining. Be safe and travel to the ends my friend❤🙌
You make me miss the Philippines even more, Dale. Btw, I’m so glad that you met Filipino kids who are passionate about football. ❤
You came at the right place, our hometown baguio city, everyone is nice and no rip off, we pride our taxi drivers, my father is one, in our city , people are known as good ones, they will give your change even on the tiniest cent.hope you enjoyed your stay dale!
Love your videos man. You're so good at inviting your viewers. Literally feels like we are there with you :)
Love your channel Dale. Thanks for showing us all that the world is yours to explore. 🌍
I must agree with Dale on the bed situation. It's a stupid thing to do joining two beds together.
That bed prefaiir for Siamese twin..
Welcome to Baguio, Dale! Enjoy the tourist spots, climate and food. There is so much to discover in the city
I still recognize that park. I lived in Baguio City in the 80s when I was in my early teens. Now I'm back in Indonesia.
You walking around Baguio feels like a fever dream. What a beautiful place.

So many angles on this video to comment from: Dale moaning about everything, Dale's boating skills etc. I'll just say I really enjoyed this video and it looks like a great place. Filipinos are so friendly.
Love the content, especially in the Philippines. Much love from Malaysia. Loved when you visited Kota Raya (Mini Philippines mall) and Kl
Hello to our Malaysian brothers and sisters.

Hello from New Hampshire 🇺🇲! I love your videos Dale. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, I appreciate it very much.👍❤
Dale Loves from TR im really addicted to watching your videos keep going man! also love your confidence and genuine reacts! Thanks for everything
The taxi drivers in Baguio are so honest. One time my brother left his phone, airpods and bag in one and we called the phone when the passenger picked up she told the driver about it and the driver returned.
Thank God finally a Dale Philip video!! My withdrawal symptoms were getting pretty bad!😁😭
Great video as always mate 👌🏻 love the Philippines 🇵🇭 stay safe ❤️💙
Dale is such an amazing guy. He is the most chillest person I have ever met!
A daily dose of this man videos keep my boredom away
All day waiting for your new uploaded blog 👍🏼 from Singapore🇸🇬
I was waiting for a upload last 2 Sundays but better late than never. Always enjoy your adventures. Any trips to South or North America coming soon? We'd love those from ya man
Thank you for exploring Baguio..I hope I can visit soon.
I miss watching your videos Dale, finally you uploaded again 😁
"You must be from Australia" I would be proud to call you an Australian lol!
Did he get Dale mixed up with Luke?
I thought he's Scottish
He's Scottish mate... British to be exact🇬🇧
He is from Scotland.

Cool video thanks Dale. Been really looking forward to the Baguio vlogs. You've come a long way since I first started following you 'bout 3 years ago.. nice one 👍👍
Hey Dale! Bumped on this vlog post of yours. Be going to Baguio myself in a few weeks as a solo traveler, and will be taking the same bus you took in this video. You've just given me some hints for a first time traveler like me. Thanks! BTW, enjoy our country!
New subscriber here. Welcome to the Philippines. Stay safe.
Finally you posted from your Baguio trip! Been patiently waiting for this after watching your last episode where you mentioned you're going to Baguio😂
Happy to see a new video! Safe travels brother.
Hi Sir Dale Philip, enjoy and relax staying in my the beautiful Philippines 🇵🇭 im ur SUBSCRIBERS and Watching here in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Hi Dale! Just finished watching all your Philippine Tour vlogs! Thankyou for visiting my country! ❤❤
Best CZcamsr out there for me 👍🏻
The hotel is not bad at all for $100.
You are right, the only problem here is the bed if a single person checked in.😅
First of your videos I've seen, really enjoyed it. Have subscribed and looking forward to watching more of them.
You got my subscribe dale...thank you for vlogging the Philippines....❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Cheers for a great vlog bro. Looks a nice relaxed place for you to enjoy some cooler temperatures and lots of new adventures. Enjoy and take care
Hey Dale, If you're still in Baguio, you should try riding the Joy Bus when you travel back down to Manila. They also have a first class bus. It'll be good for you to compare the different companies. I personally prefer Joy bus, but it would be good to hear about your experience.
Finally, some content of our favorite Scottish bro 💪 . Let's go. Greetings from Brazil ,love you
Watching this makes me so happy. I'm living overseas and I've been missing Baguio (and Jolibee ) alot lately. Thanks for this.
Thoroughly enjoyed that vlog! Of all the things you eat, that I'd dare not to, you dont like tuna 🤣
Everyone was so friendly in Baguio . Can't wait for the next vid. 🤜🏼
I love the way you complain and turn it to a compliment then complain again it relaxes me 😂
Nice Vlog..dale..!Enjoy the beautiful country "Philippines"..
I’ve been to Baguio. Beautiful climate. Love the Philippines. Enjoy Dale!
You look very much like Andy Robertson of Liverpool FC, he's Scottish as well. The accent seems similar too.
Hello Dale!. Glad seeing you Visiting our Country!. Hope someday you Go to Zambales, Lot of Beautiful Beaches there, Refreshing air, And More!. Well Travel safe Dale!
one of my many amazements from watching you is how you're able to stay so white even if you're wearing sun screen
I'm one of your followers since last year. I'm glad finally you landed at my country and you will be visiting my place in baguio❤❤❤.
There’s no need to worry about hailing a taxi in Baguio since the driver’s here are most known for being honest drivers compared to Manila taxi drivers. They will return your change even if it’s just 1 peso. That’s also based on my own experience. Anyways, have a great trip around Baguio, Dale.
You can totally trust on taxi drivers in Baguio not like Metro Manila.
Ive been waiting for so long for your video
Obsessed with your videos seen other travel videos, but no your authentic and very nice 😊 much love from Texas 🇺🇸
you should go to batanes dale. Batanes is the northernmost province of the philippines, which explains its cold, breezy climate.
it's a common thing to hear them say that the terrain is akin to that of New Zealand, Ireland, or the Scottish Highlands.
Missed your videos, this one was great those boats looked fun and all the people are so friendly. Ask the hotel for a room with a big bed they might swap rooms for you or give you a price reduction. Looking forward to the next video.
Love these type of vlogs Dale!
I will watch every episode of your video. It's great.
Hopefully, Dale Philip will continue to be enthusiastic in providing information on world tourist attractions.

Hello our good Indonesian sibling.
Greetings from a Filipino.
Not far from Baguio (a UNESCO creative city) is sagada where the hanging coffins are to be found, the mummies of the ancient Philippines and Batad or Banaue where the renowned rice terraces was located, a unesco world heritage marvel. There are rugged trekking sites and water falls also around the area. Near Baguio is La Union refered to as ELYU derived from L U and its known for surfing particularly San Juan. Further north is Vigan City which is a Unesco world heritage city and it's like Cartagena Colombia. You'll enjoy the ilocano cuisines too. In Ilocos provinces you'll find unesco world heritage churches too similar to San Agustin Church in Intramuros. Then if you still wish to visit another gem theres Batanes and see Sabtang another heritage town built by the natives known as the ybatans. They have interesting cuisines too. Theres an international airport in Laoag City and i think the airport in Baguio City is now operational again.
They are far from Baguio.
Always great content. Really enjoy the introspective perspective on your journeys here in the Philippines.
I love how I came for the bus experience and am already 30 min in the video.
Thanks Sir Dale for visiting our Home City! Glad to see you happened to interact with young athletes playin football there at Melvin Jones Football Grounds. I am not actually a fan of basketball. Prefer football or baseball. 😁And yes! Baguio is a place that's very different/ unique from other places in the PH. The culture, environment and people are much different. Even the cab drivers; they use the meter and you don't need to argue or even heckle with them when you get in. Just tell where you're going and you'll arrive safely 😉👍.
Hi dale I've been waiting ur vlog, why it took 3 weeks 😤
More Adventure to comes and keep safe dale👍👍👍👍
Omg Dale Finally! Been waiting for your next video for 2 weeks hah! I hope you're enjoying Philippines so far,.
I always enjoy your vlogs dale :) thanks for uploading
Taxi driver in Baguio is trustworthy and they are known for that and totally opposite in Manila as I used to live to this both city!
Indeed, baguio people are honest 😉....
Just a tip dale. most of those filipinos, when u say double bed they are going to give u an actual double bed, so u have to say double size bed in order for them to understand u😂
What’s the difference between a double bed and a double size bed 🤔
@@autumn5852isn’t it obvious? 😅

Hey Dale, im visiting your page both youtube and facebook almost every hour everyday waiting for your next upload 😅 we even went to baguio last week when i saw your football stadium vlog in manila as i thought youd go straight to baguio..😅 lucky people getting the chance to meet yer man 😢
Dang those paddle boats are fun and relaxing! And the park is very decent.
You dont have to worry riding a taxi in baguio , they are 100% trusted / honest and no bargaining just purely meter. About the first class bus there is a usb power socket installed in the seat. Try joy bus executive when you go back to manila. I say ita more improved with entertainment system
I've been waiting for this ❤❤

Nice to see so many air con buses. I spent a couple of years in the Philippines, I lived in Manila or Quezon City most of my stay but i would sometimes visit my father's province which is at the northernmost point of Luzon. It was a 10-12 hour ride in lower class non-air con bus that stopped everywhere and passengers were allowed to bring pigs and chickens on board. So in addition to the heat inside the bus. there was a terrible noise and smell. BTW you get used to the heat which is about 90 degrees Fahrenheit almost all year around with incredible humidity. Guess since you are from Scotland, you would not adapt to the heat and humidity easily. I am glad that you are okay as you had not posted for a few weeks. I am sure it took a lot of time to upload and edit this wonderful video. I am sort of wondering why you did not go to the famous Banaue rice terraces. Maybe a future vid. Cheers and good health to you always, Dale.👍
Ya, P2P buses are becoming more common
This video brought back sweet memories of my "First Class" bus trip to Baguio back in 2005. I think I was on the same bus line. I was with my best mate, a Filipino American and his brother in law from Manila. Yes, 20 degrees C is cool by Philippine standards.
It can get as low as 5° during cold season. There are even instances of hail.
I have been waiting for this Baguio vlog...
