How to get to Mayong Payong by means of public transportation?
From Masbate City, ride a tricycle going to Brgy. Tugbo then alight at the Tricycle terminal in Circle E. From there, ride another tricycle going to Poblacion 2, Mobo. Just tell the Driver that you're going to Mount Mayong Payong, he already knows where to take you. Fare is about 8 to 10 Pesos per passenger, so that's 16 to 20 pesos in total.
When you arrive at the entrance to the Mountain (just adjacent to the highway, before the bridge) you can either Hike (40 minutes to an Hour) or ride a Habal Habal, a motorcycle ride (15 to 30 minutes). They Charge 50 pesos one way per ride and they can take up to 2 passengers maximum.
Presently, since they are not yet finished developing this tourist attraction, they don't charge yet for the amenities in the area except for the restroom.
How to get to Jologon Falls?
From the Picnic site, you can hike again (20 to 30 minutes) or ride another habal habal (10-15 minutes) going to Brgy.
From there, you have no choice but to trek (20 to 30 minutes) to the falls. If it's your first time, it is important that you ask any local to guide you on your way to the falls because you might get lost if you go unaccompanied.
Anyway, this is just temporary since the LGU of Mobo has already started constructing better road so that this astonishing site will become more accessible.
Now, I like to give my best regard to the Local Government Unit of the Municipality of Mobo for this groundbreaking development. Kudos to my colleague, the esteemed Leader of Mobo, Mayor Percival Castillo, for a job well done. Congratulations and Good Job!
