What if your next epic journey could come with a brand-new Toyota Fortuner, a cool ₱1 million in cash, or even free fiber internet for life? That’s what PLDT Home’s One Mega Giveaway (OMG) promo is all about!
Before we tell you how to score those “OMG” prizes, let’s talk about hitting the road. Here are four soul-stirring road trips from Manila that will etch unforgettable memories into your mind.
PLDT Home’s OMG Promo: Your Road Trip to Riches & Free Internet!
1. SCTEX and Halsema Highway: Baguio and Beyond
Kick off your adventure by heading north from Manila, passing through SCTEX and then onto the legendary Halsema Highway. Once called the “death highway,” this route through the Cordillera mountains is now a stunning ascent from the lowlands of La Trinidad. As you navigate the winding roads, you’ll see incredible terraced mountainsides, sculpted by indigenous hands over centuries. Stop by the Atok, Benguet’s Highest Point marker for breathtaking views; on clear days, you might even spot Mt. Pulag, often haloed with a “sea of clouds”—the “playground of the gods.” This journey isn’t just about the views; it’s an intimate glimpse into mountain life, where indigenous Igorot communities maintain their traditions. By the time you reach Sagada or Bontoc, you’ve journeyed through a living museum of Philippine highland culture.
2. SCTEX to Clark: A Short but Satisfying Drive
Need a quick escape? Take Skyway 3, NLEX, then SCTEX and exit at Clark North for a smooth two-hour drive to Clark, Pampanga. After exploring its golf courses, high-end resorts, and malls, dive into Pampanga’s rich culture and famous Kapampangan cuisine. Don’t miss chef Claude Tayag’s Bale Dutung or the iconic Aling Lucing for sisig and ARlyns Carinderia for papaitan—places even Anthony Bourdain raved about!
3. The Tanay-Infanta Road: The Sierra Madre’s Secret Pass
For a truly rewarding, less-traveled path, hit the Tanay-Infanta Road. This hidden gem cuts through the majestic Sierra Madre mountain range, Luzon’s longest, taking you from the outskirts of Metro Manila to the wild Pacific coast. Starting in Tanay’s rolling hills, you’ll find the air growing cooler and fresher as you pass increasingly dense forests. You might even spot indigenous Dumagat communities selling traditional crafts and mountain foods roadside. The real drama unfolds at Bantakay Falls and the series of hairpin turns known as “Magnetic Hill” before descending to Infanta, Quezon, where coconut plantations give way to the vast Pacific Ocean.
4. Pan-Philippine Highway: Bicolandia’s Coastal Escape
Ready for a visual feast? A road trip through the Bicol region offers more than just the perfect view of Mayon Volcano—it’s an adventure that builds with every kilometer. In Legazpi City, Mayon looms dramatically. Continue south along the Pan-Philippine Highway through lush coconut plantations and sleepy fishing towns towards Sorsogon. The drive is pure eye candy: endless rice paddies on one side, glimpses of the Pacific on the other. Stop at Bacon District for panoramic sea cliffs, detour to Donsol to swim with whale sharks (during peak season!), and cap it all off in Matnog for pink sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. It’s a soul-soothing escape into the heart of southern Luzon, proving the best trips are often the less hyped ones.
