So if you really are planning to go to Lucban make it planned ahead of schedules
all hotel bookings there are full 2 months before the festival . Make sure to travel going to Lucban as early as possible you can start to travel by early morning of May 15 say 3-4 AM (fr. Manila) so by the time the sun is rising you are already in Sta.Cruz (via Laguna) ,or in Candelaria (via Lucena).No need hiring guide which just make your life worse like (FRANCIS NANAWA?) people along the way are helpful just ask them and for sure all the vehicles are going all to Lucban.Hint never travel going via Lucena before 10am for sure you will reach Lucban in the afternoon since all the way along going to Lucban by this way are celebrating the SAN ISIDRO FESTIVITIES , unless you want to watch Pahiyas by night which is also colorful with all the lights adorning the decorations.
Have a safe travel to Lucban.
Please visit KAMAY NI HESUS .

Thanks.

@Chito – i agree with you! we arrive around 12nn in time for lunch..

worse thing a travel bug like us, having an in.efficient tour guide was the worse thing to happen!! grabe talaga!! I would like to share lang to others who are planning to go to Pahiyas next year.. Pahiyas is truly worth to see but please try not to get FRANCIS NANAWA for your guide.. he wasn’t on top of the situtation leaving us with OJTs to handle everything… not a professional in my book. Never encountered a tour guide like that, and it seems he doesn’t even care… tsk tsk tsk

We’re planning on going to Quezon again, this time on our own… =)

I would just want to know if you have a copy of schedule of events for pahiyias 2010. I could not find any website for the schedule. Even that of pahiyasfestival.com, they only have schedule for last year (nakakadismaya)

I would really appreciate if you could provide us with it including the route map. This would be my first time if ever we would be pushing through with the plan of attending the pahiyas.

This blog of yours is really informative. Kudos! This is really a big help to us budget and DIY travelers.
