dun sa nagtanong about Ka Lui (nasa previous thread na), di po sila nagpapaalis ng tao kahit tapos na kayo kumain.  kami kahit tapos na kumain, naka-upo lang dun kasi nag-iintay kami ng sundo.

Next year, uuwi ang relatives namin from the US and they all wanted to go to Palawan. Nasa tentative number of 25 ang head count ko. Hindi ko alam kung kukuha ako ng agency or ako na lang ang mag ayos ng itin since nakapunta nako? Yun lang, parang ayoko namang mag take ng blame should any mishaps happen. What do you think sisters?

Please allow me to post our review for him as we are so happy with the service he offered. Since we can't give him too much of a tip, (ubos na pera namen), I'm doing this in return.

For those who are planning to have a Palawan trip,we highly recommend him .

KUYA DUDZ (09175902001) our driver aka all around tour guide..

We actually rented his van for a 4D/3N trip to PPS -El Nido Trip for a group of 13 pax(all adults). His price was 16k, Before our trip, he got us our UR permit at inabonohan nya muna ang pay. (150*13). Mura na actually ang bigay nya kasi kung mag public van kami, 700 per pax un one way to El Nido. Then, pabalik ng PPS, dumaan kme sa Sabang for UR tour. Since two batches din kme sa airplane, twice syang nag City Tour drive for us. One on Sept 15 Am, another one on Sept 18. On our last night sa PSS, game din syang nakipagpuyatan samen sa Kinabuch (til 2am) to chill and drive us to hotel... Sya na ren ang ming contact sa mga boatman, palengke tours, restaurant  and tour destination reservations.
He would call his friedns to ask for reservations, ask prices and even ask for flights at airport. Kaya nga I have said, he his not only a driver, hes all around. Siguro kase, he's a local at PPS, kaya he knows almost everyone. Sabagay, people in Palawan are ALL NICE!!! Two thumbs up talaga. He is always on time, and would always call. So accomodating to all our requests...

For a 6hr drive to El Nido, it could have been so stressful at kapagod if not with his super gandang van. Lahat may head rest pillows. Nice choice of songs on his Ipod too. Nasa tabi kasi ako ng driver seat the whole time so naapreciate ko talaga na we would pick his remote control to play nice songs applicable on a day. Example, sa morning party songs. Then on night trip when everybody's asleep mejo mellow naman. Meron den syang reggae at rock songs! Basta so good! Nice driver too, kahit super curvy ng daan! At since napakamatanong ko, halos lahat naman he tries to answer. Nga pala meron den syang beach umbrella, dahil un nawiwiwi na ang girls along the trip, pinahiram nya un to have us covered while making wiwi sa daan hahaha...

at pag bigla kami naisip puntahan, gawin, he would call his friends to confirm at hanggat maari mapagbigyan kami. I can just imagine na pagod sya, un maupo nga [textspeak!] sa van kapagod na, what more kung nagddrive ka pa...

Ok din sya sa biruan. At since it was only a DIY trip, we always consult him sa mga gusto namen gawin. Kaya he made our 4d/3n super sulit para mapuntahan at matry ang highlights ng Palawan. For a rented driver, super sulit ang service nya kasi nga he was so ALL AROUND!!!

In case you want to contact him, I already posted his number above, alam ko meron rin syang FB account eh. Alam ko rin sya ang mismong owner ng van, so try to make tawad haha. Mag request na ren kayo na sya ang driver, kasi he owns 2 vans.

Let him know me (Rhia & my gang) super duper recommended him. Its our simple way to express our appreciation for a nice service. Feeling nga namen tropa na ren namin sya. And told him if he goes to manila kami naman ang magttour sa kanya... Same age bracket lang namen kasi sya, he is just 28. Kami naman ay from 26-32.

So sisses, please contact him for your Palawan Tour!  Gerardo (Dudz) Valencia of Palawan ENJOY YOUR TRIP!!!

[rhia9lam]

sis maika,

iDIY mo na yan. Kami 13pax, DIY lang. Just back read. I will post soon our expenses. Contackin mo kuya dudz, for your vans, I already posted our reviews on him. Siguro except airfare, prepare kayo 5k and up to enjoy tours and add more (even twice as pocket money) for pasalubongs!

[artemis26]

Me and my ofismate went to PPC on official business last week. Pagdating namin, city tour na kaagad c/o Sis Charisse (tiara), went to baker's hill (ang sarap ng hopia nila!), rancho mitra, butterfly garden, plaza cuarter, cathedral, baywalk. then nun friday (sept 16), yung UR tour namin, c/o of Sis Charisse pa rin.

Thumbs up kay sis Charisse! very accomodating talaga sya, kahit sa mga text/IM ko hehe Next time na punta namin ng palawan, I will definitely get her services again

[iamglenni]

grabe we had the most amazing night and afternoon sa sabang. you have to spend an overnight there (actually kulang pa) to really experience yung ganda at serenity ng place. sis tiara, you are awesome thank you sa lahat! (thank you din kay jinel). babalik kami kahit nakailang balik na kami dito, bwahaha! mga sis wag niyo palampasin ang bibingka sa skylight at wag kalimutan na 2pm ang bukas nun! enjoy sa mga susunod na babyahe!

hello po! was wondering if you can share to us the name of place where you stayed at palawan? was it for overnight? thanks in advance.

[simplyremz]

hi mga sisters, sana may sumagot sa query ko 

plano namin ni h2b pumunta ng puerto after our wedding next year kaso limited lang ang budget. mga sis tingin nyo ba kasya na ang 7k na budget para sa 3D/2N stay sa puerto including na mga entrance fees sa mga tourist destination, transpo, meal & hotel?

sobrang wala kami idea. first time kasi nmin ito if ever..

[mooncake and leaves]

^ including airfare, i'm on NO. yung 7k good for rt tickets pa lang. Excluding airfare, magigipit din kayo because andaming bayarin (van, accommodation, food, permits, entrance fees, gear) tapos dalawa lang kayo. if you really want to go, try joining a tour group.

[simplyremz]

sorry i didnt make it clear.. yung 7k sis exclusive of airfare.

anyways, sabi nga ni h2b since honeymoon naman daw yun why dont we check in ang stay na lang sa isang hotel resort. kahit hindi na lang daw kami mg-join sa ibang activites. swimming na lang and bonding kami sa hotel tee hee!

[mooncake and leaves]

^ hehe yep puwede din yun. you can stay somewhere in sabang beach, for instance. they have a nice resort there (sheridan hotel). 'di ko lang alam magkano. then from there, mura na ang UR. personally, I'd go to PPC for the UR and sabang beach, kahit yun lang.

if you want naman, you can go somewhere closer. for honeymoon tips meron sa engagement and weddings board. my personal pick would be a nice little place somewhere close. para wala nang alalahanin

[design21]

para sa hindi naman maselan sa hotel, we stayed sa marriane home inn. 4 days 3 nights package of underground river tour, city tour and island hopping with breakfast and lunch sa tours. It's new lang 6 months palang kaya the place is clean and with new facilities naman. It's just a boutique hotel and sa likod niya may mini grocery and it's near jollibee if you have kids with you.
