going to banaue today.
Be careful!! My LUGGAGE WAS STOLEN on an OHAYAMI night bus on 18th February 2013 on a trip from Banaue to Manila. We believe it was when we arrived to Manila, the conductor opened the luggage door and took out all the bags while everybody was still waking up (it was around 3 am when we got there).
Nor company, nor driver, nor conductor did anything about it, not even Police.
thank you very much for your post..very helpful indedd
Hello!
How do we commute to the Ohayami terminal in Manila? Let’s say we’re coming from LRT2-Legarda station?
