anyway...8am na us nakaalis sa Alabang. We have 2 visitors from India with us. Drive thru muna us sa Jollibee for Bfast then nung nasa bandang laguna na...the Indians bought Tshirts sa ukay-ukay (3 for 100).
Ok sana yung bonding kung wala lang mga masasamang tao.We are their victims.
Malapit na kami sa Sta. Cruz when there was a split road. There was a sign that going right is to Pagsanjan Falls. So lumiko kami then bigla us nagulat nung may kasunod na us na motor. Papuntang San Pablo daw yun and information center lang yung andun. Sunod daw kami sa kanila papunta sa Boat Station and Resort.
Malayo-layo pa pala papunta Pagsanjan. Mainit ulo ni hubby pagdating dun sa boat station. Para kasing sinadya yung sign board para malaman sino mga di kabisado lugar and they can bring you directly to their station.
The resort that they are telling us is not a resort that we are expecting of a resort. Parang isang motel lang sya. The Boat Ride was 660 each person pero since mainit daw ulo ni hubby kaya bigyan daw kami discount. 580 na lang daw.
13 lahat us and a boat can cater up to 3 passengers excluding the 2 boatmen. We occupied 10 boats. Nung paalis na us (nakasakay na sa boat) biglang nagsabi yung may-ari na nagbigay ng discount samin na since may discount na daw us, kami na daw bahala sa boatmen. Ha? Tinanong ni Ariel kung magkano pero mamaya na lang daw. Tignan na lang daw namin service nila. We are only thinking na TIP lang need nila kasi 660 na nga isang tao for the ride. We texted our friends who went there few weeks ago. 100 daw tip nila and they just bought them bottled water.
Kinulit ni Ariel yung Boatman namin and they said na $85 daw bayad ng mga foreigners and since di naman us tourist,kami na daw bahala.
The boatride was good. the views are good. Pero kakatakot pa rin kahit may lifevest na us kasi parang mahina na yung boats (made of wood).
Gulat us nung tumigil us...may stop over pa pala sa mid ng trip There was a store where they sell waters and grilled pork & chicken. Tatanong yung mga tindero kung bibili namin mga boatmen namin ng water. Ariel bought water for the our 10 boatmen.
Then we had some some picture taking..
Nung nakarating na us sa END line. We are not amused. Ok yung falls pero parang no place to swim naman. Then may add'l bayad pa to go the falls using a balsa (P90).
Di na us sumama ni Ariel dun sa may falls. Ayaw ko mabasa eh. para kasing walang mapagbibihisan na maayos. Kaya picture taking na lang us.
Medyo...1pm na nun kaya gutom na din us.But wala kami makakain dun kasi vegetarian yung mga indian na kasama namin kaya we decided to eat sa labas na lang.
Going back...tanung ulit si Ariel kung magkano para sa boatman.... sabi nung boatman...tapatan na lang daw namin yung mga tourist na P750 for each boatman. Huh?
Sabi ko kay ariel, wag na lang kausapin yung boatman at bigay na lang tip pagbaba namin.
Pagbaba namin.. ayaw tanggapin yung tip ng mga boatman. Katakut-takot na diskusyon nangyari. May kasama ba naman akong abogado eh.
Mga statements ni Ariel:
1. Boatride is already P660. Pwede ba kaming sumakay ng boat na walang magsasagwan for us.
*** nawawala na yung matandang nagbigay samin ng discount that time tapos yung nakatao sa table tell us to talk to the boatman.
2. P750 for each boatman is too much. We only had them for 3 Hrs. And di naman ata tama or pwedeng mas mataas pa sweldo nila samin as Engrs.
Kinatapusan... We gave them P200 each. Pero di pa rin ako sang-ayon kasi san napunta yun P660.
Anyway.. we will just charge this to experience and just give warnings to others.
Going back.. tinutukso ko si Ariel. Baka kasi kala nung mga mama dun, mayaman sya kasi mukha syang Chinese. Hehehe. tapos may kasama pa us na mga Indians.
Chowking sa Waltermart na lang us nakakain ng Lunch @ 3pm.
Then uwi na us... mga 6pm nasa house na kami. Tulog us then ... kinabukasan na us nagising!
Nung bumalik us sa office... I ask our friend about their exprience sa Pagsanjan.. Di naman daw sila na-harass. Mukhang yung specific na boat station na yun and may modus operandi na yun. Warning na lang po.
The name of the resort is Camino Real and/or Merra Inn. Kaka-suspetsa pa rin kasi 2 pangalan nila.Hmmp!
