One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Laoag to Dagupan.A pretty good spot. Good visibility, plenty of room to stop. Not too busy traffic.
I got really lucky. After 25 minutes I got a ride all the way to Dagupan. I was even dropped at the door step of my destination.

I was using this spot the second time. (Look up my previous rating).This time it was even faster. 5 minutes wait.
I was dropped 3 kms before Malasiqui, which I walked.

One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Angeles to Malasiqui.That was a weird spot. I've been hitchhiking two weeks in this country and it's been quite good. People understand the concept. Only once a guy stopped and asked me if I needed money.
But this spot was different. Not only because I had the longest wait. But also coz strange behaviour of people. Firs 3 cars stopped even though they were going 2-3 kms only. Two of them were handing me money (literally 🤑). They were very surprised that I didn't take them. And then one women stopped and was trying to stop a bus for me. It took me some time to explain her that I'm hitchhiking. It turn out she was going my way. When I asked her if I could go with her, she was shocked and said "No". And then left.
All my many experiences in this country were so different than this spot.
The spot is very good. No very busy. Loads of space to stop (I was picked eventually by a big lorry). And very importantly, in a shade of trees.
My experience is that the better spot the longer wait. Really 😂
After one hour a lorry took me almost all the way where I needed.

One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from here to Angeles.A good spot. Loads of space to stop, tragic not too heavy, and a pole giving some shade.
A bit longer waiting than usually in the country. And quite few people trying to show me where a bus is. But in the end I got a ride to Carmen/Rosales bus terminal.

One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day.A good space with loads of room to stop. At the exit of petrol station. Very little traffic (considering it's the Philippines).

One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Laoag to a bit before Tarlac City.A really good place. Loads of room to stop. Not too heavy traffic. I don't know why it didn't work. I had a few quick rides that day. After 45 minutes of trying I got on a bus, coz it was getting dark.

One male 40+, no sign, one big and one small backpacks, sunny day. On my way from Laoag to a bit before Tarlac City.San Fernando didn't want to finish, so it took me a long distance to find a spot. Just before the bridge there is some space with good visibility. Quite big traffic.
After 15 minutes I had a lift to a place just past Rosario.
