We left to go somewhere very special to chill and relax. Our destination was 3 hours south of BGC. This time around we decided to get there on our own. Watch our very first time driving experience in the Philippines! You will not believe what we had to go through to get there!

I enjoy driving here in California during summer because there's still the sun until 8:30pm - 9pm. I can go to Monterey, Sta cruz, Moro bay, Nevada and other parts of California. Driving along the scenic coast or inland is fun. Sometimes i go to lake tahoe during summer or Reno during summer or winter when chains are not required. I'll try to drive in the Philippines probably it's harder there and chaotic. Enjoy your trip guys!

Ahhh yes, Summer nights are the best! Especially driving along ge coast. Passing through Morro Bay is beautiful! They have gorgeous views! There’s still light, it’s great weather and hardly no traffic depending on where you are at that time 🌅 California Dreamin.’

Hi guys! As far as fastfood is concerned, you guys might enjoy Army Navy. They have a variety of dishes that both meat lovers and vegetarians will enjoy. I think they have discontinued fish fillet in McDonalds here bec it wasn’t as popular (but they should make a comeback again). They do make an appearance every Lent.

[@MomDuty]

Hey!👋Oh we haven’t seen Army Navy yet. I’ll try to find one in the city once we get back. Thanks for the suggestion! You’re awesome! Yeah, other people have said the same thing about the fish fillet being discontinued here. Such a bummer but no problem at all. We were so desperate to eat anything.lol. We had 4 hangry people in one car🤣😂🤦‍♀️

[@sprikitik9719]

Shakeys and Burger King too now offer some vegetarian food & drinks but fish fillet is not for Vegetarian right coz im vegetarian too but I don't eat fish or seafood anymore. It's for Pescatarian when u can't eat meat but u can eat fish & veggies.

[@user-mk3ug7pw6z]

#MomDuty, hey kids, to prevent ants from biting you, use a newspaper or anything that would catch the food crumbs. Rocio, before, McDonald's had Fillet-o-Fish Meals. And since only a few customers ordered it, they took it out from the menu. That was the only Meal that I ate at McDonald's. I suggest you look for Wendy's Restaurant which offers Shrimp Sandwiches, Vegetable and other Salads and other Seafood Meals. I am also a pesco-vegetarian and I make my own Fillet-O-Fish and other seafood meals with veggie salads.

[@velky_reeds]

lmao I'm guessing you filmed this before reading my comment on your last video, you were able to pass by Okada Manila which was the casino with the large indoor fountain and light show that I recommended, just a short drive would be the Mall of Asia which I'm sure you guys would be able to see from there too since its very huge. Have safe travels!! ✨

[@MomDuty]

I remember!!! Ok so we got lost many times driving from Manila to Nasugbu. At one exit we saw Okada Mall. We were like, ‘is this the place that was recommended to us?’ I didn’t realize it was that close to us from Taguig. Also, I thought it was a huge mall. Totally forgot it was a resort. Hope we have time to see it on our drive back.

[@velky_reeds]

@@MomDuty in general, BGC is close to many iconic places in Manila, its close to the Manila Bay (and the Dolomite beach) Rizal Park, Intramuros (the historic spanish walled city), Mall of Asia, Star City (amusement park), etc. that's why its easy to go from place to place there

[@MomDuty]

YES! That’s why I really love BGC. The location! It’s in the middle of it all. Now that we’re exploring the outskirts, I can finally see how close everything is. It’s great!👌I guess that’s why we keep extending our stay in the city and haven’t gone island hopping yet🤣🏝🇵🇭

[@MomDuty]

What?! No way! How come no one told me?lol😆🤣🤭🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈lol!

[@chitocucio4573]

I think the McDonalds Fillet-o-Fish Sandwich is only available during the Lenten Season, or at least started as such. Same with the Tuna Pie in Jollibee until the latter made it available all year round.

[@chitocucio4573]

Of course I’m not in a position to say if you should have taken the expressway SLEX and CALAX, and a side tour to scenic Tagaytay on your way to Nasugbu, but I would have chosen that over busy, chaotic Aguinaldo Highway. Something to consider on your way back. Enjoy the countryside.

[@MomDuty]

Oh ok. Thanks for sharing! Someone else mentioned it was discontinued in 2021🙈Hopefully it comes back for me🤪

[@MomDuty]

You are so right! Although this was supposed to be a faster route it was definitely a noisier one🤦‍♀️lol. Definitely going through CALAX expressway on the way back or going to take a day and visit Tagaytay. So many of you have recommended it.

[@vanessaytang3986]

I'm not sure if you're using Waze to navigate -- it's every Filipino driver's best friend :)

[@MomDuty]

I just read another comment with the same info. Oh my gosh, I had no idea that waze works here. In fact after leaving California I deleted app because I figured it was just used in the states🙈I just downloaded the app again🤦‍♀️😆

[@bashersbeware]

Nope, Waze will definitely get you lost or will choose a longer route. Take my word for it. We, as a fam, almost always travel on weekends. My wife has an IPhone and only has Waze while I have an android phone and so I use Google Maps. We went to La Union in the north, Waze gave her a route that'll take 7 hours. Google Maps gave us only a 5.5 hours ride.

[@BEAVISKORNHOLIO69]

Driving here in the Philippines is crazy it's like there's no rules here first come first serve lol nice Villa Happy Holidays 🎄🦌🦌⛄🆒😎🎅🎅🤶

[@MomDuty]

Exactly!!! We just learned this🙈🤣lol.

[@Jekmyster]

There are rules of the road in the Philippines. The problem is, they're treated more as guides rather than actual rules.

[@ronnienestor]

There are rules and many were actually copied from the US like the road signs, rules and progressive violations. The problem is: the Land Transportation Office (LTO) conducts seminar and driving tests when getting the license, they are not strict. I noticed that your kids wore seat belts while sitting at the back. That’s remarkable since in the Philippines, only the driver and front passenger are required to wear seat belts. Those at the back don’t do it.

[@MomDuty]

Ooooh I see. So no consequences if they aren’t followed?

[@MomDuty]

I’ve been seeing that here. Driving rules are not strict here like in the US. Do they give out driving/parking/speeding tickets here like in the US? Oh yeah, we MUST all wear seatbelts in US. The seatbelt laws and children car seats are very strict in US. Many countries we visit have cars/shuttles/transportation with no seatbelts at all.

[@renzigayosa5895]

Where is this place ? Thanks and GodBless

[@MomDuty]

It’s in Nasugbu🇵🇭

[@ghuwan]

I'm just wondering about the kids studies. Are they self-studying or they've got tutors?

[@MomDuty]

We homeschool them all year round🙌💻🌎

[@sprikitik9719]

U should have taken the real south Luzon expressway then skyway upto Alabang then continue until Mamplasan exit then from there There's CALAX, Cavite-Laguna Expressway it ends on Silang, just continue upto Tagaytay, that's called Tagaytay-Sta.Rosa Highway. Uve taken the Cavite route, where there's non stop stoplights,the South Luzon Expressway has Gasoline Stations with McDonald's, etc (Petron), then Caltex (McDonald's, & other restos). Anyway u can try it next time u go back or when u go back from Tagaytay to Manila, take that route & maybe pass by Nuvali, Ayala Malls on the way, there's many more u can pass by and stop by as compared to the Cavite Route. Cavite route is complete chaos, I promised myself will not use it after travelling from Tagaytay by bus to Manila. SLEX is way way way way better specially SKYWAY, CALAX, all expressways if u used that route.

[@MomDuty]

You are sooooo right! When we visited to Tagaytay we saw the other highway. We will definitely take that route next time. I bet it’s more scenic too. Anyways, thank you so much for the tip! Merry Christmas my friend!🎄❤️🇵🇭

[@sprikitik9719]

@@MomDuty yes it's more scenic starting from Alabang area upto Tagaytay. U will see more trees, greeneries, modern villages, It's the opposite of the Cavite Route I would say. Plus Cavite routes pass by towns while the other one pass by but via expressway but is right outside so it doesn't get this chaotic plus motorbikes below 400cc and tricycles, people aren't allowed on expressway, only cars, vehicles and big bikes (400cc) which is not as common as this small motorbikes which is making it super chaotic..plus u can't really stop in d middle of skyway or expressway unless it's an emergency or there's a gasoline station to refill, it in, etc. Im Sorry im just advicing u to choose or research first the easiest, most efficient way to use for long travel, it saves u more energy, time, money & stress specially for the kids. Thank u for always replying. Im Rooting for ur fam!!! Waiting for another vlogs. U could also ask via ur vlog for more tips and advices. I'd follow ur IG so I'd be updated real time too. Merry Christmas, brace yourself to Philippines Christmas Rush and Traffic specially in Metro Manila. Plus it's safer in expressway than national highways. Always safer when there is less or no crowd.

[@audrinagabaldon3486]

I think maybe you should go to Mindoro province if you are willing to go there thats where i live but i have face to face classes now so me and my mom had to move here in Manila If you are going to go to Mindoro the only transportation to go there is a boat so i think that’s the only way but yeah my mom and Lola are doctors and I’m 10 we like to travel a lot but when Covid-19 came we couldn’t go outside our homes in Manila so we left Manila and we moved in my Lola and Lolo’s house now we can go to resorts in Mindoro and if you are going to Mindoro when the boat has went to Mindoro the first place you will be in is calapan we also have a house there so there are no taxis pr any transportation but the motorcycle and cars if you bring a car but if there are many resorts and restaurants so if you want examples buyayao island it’s not going to be a beautiful island if you don’t swim or have goggles and flippers for swimming and there is infinity it is a resort with only rivers and if not swimming there are many many resorts

[@MomDuty]

Thank you so much for sharing! Wow! Love your story. I just looked up Mindoro and saw that it’s a BIG island south of us. Wow! The pictures of Calapan are beautiful! The waterfalls, greenery and landscape! Would love to see it in person one day🤞🇵🇭

[@kabiebebe2332]

Try nice u tried travelling on wheels.... Try traveling Batangas for some nice view if had drone much better... Also stumble Villa Escudero for some unique experience and ride carabao car 😂😂😂

[@sprikitik9719]

Maybe u meant Pescatarian, coz vegetarians doesn't eat Fish unless McDonald's now serve vegan based fish fillet.

[@MomDuty]

I usually only eat sushi but when I’m in need of protein and can’t find tofu, I’ll eat fish fillet. Fish is my last resort….but it’s good for me. So you’re right, I should consider myself a pescatarian🐠

[@josephramos3140]

Does the price for the rent of the car was reasonable?

[@MomDuty]

It does for the size of the SUV. It’s a big one.

[@MomDuty]

Do you know of a more affordable price somewhere else?

[@ronnienestor]

@@MomDutyYou can try another reliable rent a car in Manila, AVIS rent a car. They have a good fleet of vehicles and cheaper than Hertz.

[@ronnienestor]

@@MomDutyAVIS is a US based company with operations in PH for decades. My cousins fr US tried it before and it was okay.

[@reyceledon2458]

So you are filipino by blood, and one more thing i think thats not suv, it is mpv am i right because its toyota innova?

[@envl]

In the US, it's still called an SUV.

[@MomDuty]

Rey, you’re right! I learned something new today. Toyota Innova is considered an MPV because of the flat folding seats, it’s got 3 rows of seats and fits up to 8 people. I didn’t know the difference🙈Thanks for teaching me though👍In the US, we would refer to these type of family cars as SUV’s.

[@MomDuty]

Yup! 💯

u know guys u must learn how to speak tagalog ,promise if your fluent to speak tagalog damn your chanel and subcribers and views will be boom 💥 💥 to the pilipino’s viewers. thats my # 1 tip for u,because filipino’s they like to see a foreigners fluent in tagalog thats why they love them and supporting them,example the hungry syrian wanderer chanel? and Dasuri Choi channel and Eugene and vikachka channel ok guys thats my #1 tip for u and also filipino’s like to see a foreigners singing a tagalog songs ok

[@MomDuty]

Ok my friend! Taking your advice. Going to learn Tagalog. Since we’ve been here for so long it only makes sense to really learn and take the culture in. I know Spanish and I have realized some words are similar but still. Tagalog and Spanish are so different. Time to speak Tagalog. Any app or websites you recommend?☺️
