1. From any point in Manila, head to Cubao or Buendia. There are several busliners heading for Mauban but we particularly chose JAC Liner for this trip. Here are their bus schedules for Manila-Mauban route:
2. If you went through Lucena, make sure you drop off at Lucena Grand Central Terminal. That should be the last stop of Lucena-bound buses. From there, transfer to another bus named NCR Lines heading for Mauban. These are ordinary buses, FYI. 3. Once you get to Mauban, ask the driver to drop you off nearest the Tourism Office. 4. Head for the Tourism Office, which should be at a walkable distance. |
