| Clear waters, blue sky, and great shoreline of Nasugbu, Batangas |
Thinking about a cheap weekend getaway? Batangas is one to consider, and one of the closest to Metro Manila. There are lots of beaches in Batangas but not quite within my budget. Try to look up prices online and other bloggers site and compare so that you could see what fits your taste and how much you can let out of your pocket.
After looking at a few sites I came upon http://www.muntingbuhangin.ph/. So I went. The travel isn't that bad. If you're planning to go overnight, I suggest you go early if you'd like to go around Nasugbu before checking in, since check in is at 3:00pm. And bring your own food if you'd lilke to lessen the cost of your stay.
Check out the room rates on the website for you to know which one fits your budget. I chose to go for the tent, which is definitely cheaper of the bunch. Also bring mosquito repellants. You'll thank me later.

It is a great place to swim. The swim area is just perfect because of its sandy and clear waters. They also have different activities if you want to try out other water activities like kayaking and snorkeling.
Going to Munting Buhangin
From Cubao, ride the MRT to Taft Ave. Station and just below the station at the left side is a bus terminal. Ride the bus to Nasugbu. Ask the driver to let you off at Nasugbu. After that, its a tricycle ride from Nasugbu, just tell the driver that your going to Munting Buhangin. You might want to get the phone number of the driver since there are no rides going back to Nasugbu after your check out. Ask him to pick you up after you check out.
Budget:
Bus Fare: Pasay to Nasugbu P310 (roundtrip)
Tricycle: P500 (roundtrip)
Entrance fee: P200
Tent: P500 (off peak season)
Rice meals: P150
