Vehicles & Servicing Smog Check

Have been going around looking at the places that provide the smog check. Took a trip today. Went towards Sibulan, up through Bagacay to Valencia and down the Valencia/Bacong road and back into town.

We have a total of 3 sites available and they are packed. One place even schedules times, if you are willing to wait 3 days to get in line.

Motorcycles are taking up a huge portion, maybe because of the checkpoints, they now have to finally register. Wait till the fine for previous years comes due, that should be good.

So, now what used to take me about 30 minutes from home to back home, will end up taking hours. Wife said she will go to a place she visited today who told her to come in about 6am tomorrow. Bless her little heart, she knows how patient I get waiting in these lines. We will see how it goes, I don't expect her home till 8 or 9am, and I am being optimistic.

But still a Happy Camper. I told her I would take a drive out toward Bias and maybe find an out of the way station that wasn't as busy. She said no, she would take care of it.

 

The late Senator Miriam Santiago had a similar concern. She said that in all of the time that this 'smog check' has been going on not one, none, vehicle has ever failed the test.

 

Come out the Port and head north. First one is just past the first turn to the left through the Chinese Gate on the right. If you went straight along Rizal towards Lantaw there is another one tucked away on the left side. The other one is High Point, intersection of National Highway and Aldecoa. Again, travelling north it is on the left, turning right would take you to Silliman Medical.
