Favorite thing: Dau (pronounced as "Da-u" - in two syllabus)Bus Terminal in the Municipality of Macalabat is the nearest (only?) bus terminal in Clark/Angeles. For those who are coming in from the Clark Field Airport (Diosdado Macapagal International Airport), this would be bus terminal you will be heading if you want to board any north or south bound buses in Philippines. It is a few km north of Angeles and you can get there by cab or a jeepney from the airport.

By cab from airport
=============
It's a 10mins ride. You can book the cab once you are out of the immigration at the airport. There is a booth for you to book the cab. Cost per cab to Dau terminal is 250pesos. Tip: If you happen to see someone going the same way, arrange to share out the cab fare.

By Jeepney
========
You need to get to the main exit gate of the airport area - to get there, once you get out from the immigration, exit and turn left, diagonal across about 5mins walk - ask for direction to catch the jeepney to Clark Main Gate, price 10pesos, 10mins ride. Arrival at Clark Main Gate which is a huge open air station, full of jeepneys, get onto another jeepney bound for Dau Terminal . The jeepney will stop you at a Caltex gas station which is very near to the Dau Terminal. Price should be about another 10pesos or so.. 5mins ride

Favorite thing: This is a large compound where all the jeepneys to many places are stationed. It is near to the Clark Main Gate (do not be mistaken, this does not refer to the Clark airport main gate) and near to Balibago area. Next to this station is the Bayanihan Park, Clark (see tip on this).
It is also within walking distance from the SM City Mall, Clark.

Some term this as the Balibago Jeepney terminal

Favorite thing: The Terminal Fee (ie the airport tax) of Diosdado Macapagal Internal Airport has increased from 350pesos to 500pesos, effective 19 October 2006, for all departing international passengers. This is the airport where the no frills airlines like Tiger Airways (Singapore) and Airasia (Malaysia) land.
