Simplified RoadMap to Subic

The entrance to the only world class expressway in the Philippines - the North Luzon Tollways. This is where we begin our trip to Subic Bay Freeport. Upon entrance, you need to prepare a toll fee of P38. This shall cover the toll fee for the first few exits only.

We shall get off the expressway at the San Fernando Exit. Along the way, some notable landmarks will be the gas stations, where you can stop for a refill, get yourself a freshly brewed coffee, or relief yourself in some comfy clean comfort rooms.

First in line is the Petron gas station. Then, a few kilometers away is the Shell station. Both stations have plenty of food stores to choose from. But it gets a little crowded sometimes. The last gas station, at least before we exit from San Fernando, is the Total gas station. In here, you'll have the luxury of "space," as fewer people/cars are stopping by. No queues in refilling, no queues in comfort room, and no queues in restaurants. Albeit you have very limited choices.

About after 30-45 minutes drive, depending on traffic condition, we shall reach the San Fernando exit already. Prepare a toll fee of P92. Upon exit, right in front of us is the Robinsons Mall - resist your shopping urge, and turn right. After crossing the bridge (with the expressway right below us). We shall be greeted by a big "Welcome to Pampanga" landmark post. Drive further straight, and use the flyover to bypass the busy intersection.

From there, prepare to coast along for another hour of stop and go traffic. Your skill of being able to overtake slow moving trucks and trikes will be put into test. An average speed of 50kph is good in an afternoon traffic.

At this point, when we see this T- intersection, slow down. Turn right at the corner, and you'll just be 30 minutes away from Subic Bay. You can grab the picture and zoom in to see the road sign.

A few kilometers after we've turned the corner, there will be a road split. Choose the left side. From this point on, just follow the major road - winding up the mountain side.

About 20 minutes later, another major T-intersection that reads "Subic-Tipo Tollway - Turn Left" "Olongapo - Straight Ahead". Take the left turn and spend another P19 for a traffic free ride! At the end of the toll way is the entrance to the Subic Bay Freeport! Enjoy your vacation! Hope this helps!
