TravelBook Philippines Get Together At The Legend Villas

TravelBook.ph’s Affiliate Program started last June 2016 with the primary objective of giving its blogger affiliates the opportunity to earn commission through confirmed bookings with the use of different promotional materials on their websites.

Get Together The Legend Villas

Now, with a growing number of 800++ members, the program continues to widen its network of blogger affiliates across the country with various initiatives such as Blogger Getaways, staycations, online blogger contests, trainings and seminars.

We also make sure that our Blogger Affiliates are recognized and are learning as well, as we launched our Monthly Top Affiliate starting last September and our bi-weekly trainings and seminars.

GV Florida Route

GV Florida Transport, Inc is a bus company based in Manila that has route to Northern Luzon. It’s formerly known as Florida Liner. It was founded in 1970 by Virgilio Florida Sr.

I’ve always wanted to explore Northern Luzon by bus. Hopefully, one of these days I would ride the GV Florida Transport bus and would travel to their farthese destinations like Santa Ana, Cagayan or Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. I would probably visit my relatives in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan as well.

From GV Florida’s station in Sampaloc, Manila it’s about 15.5 hours to Santa Ana, Cagayan. The fare is P750 on their De Luxe bus. From the same station in Sampaloc, if I would travel by bus to Pagudpud for example, it will be 12 hours travel time and will cost P700. I hope to have a travel buddy soon. It will be nicer to travel with a buddy.
