I was the OP of that 6 year old thread, have had to change my username due to forgetting login info....but, we did use Pronto Express and were very happy with their services. They were very professional and their rates were very good. I still stand by the recommendation. Car made the trip on the ferry, no problem...we didn't have to put it in a container.

Super Ferry was bought out by 2Go shipping several years ago and they are the only ferry, that I am aware of, that still does the Manila - Dumaguete route on a regular basis. P2,300 is not a bad price for a motorbike. Does that include the driver's ticket on the ferry?
For the household goods, if that includes a lot of furniture or a large crate worth of goods, you might want to look for a door-to-door shipping company. I used one many years ago to move from Olongapo to Dumaguete but I can't remember the name of the company. It cost around $1k USD but that included a 2 bedroom apartment worth of furniture (a very large and heavy crate) and a car. That price got me a completely hands off shipping method. They showed up, moved everything out, built a crate, put it on a truck, drove it along with the car to the ferry in Manila, dealt with the nonsense at the port, got to Dumaguete, drove it up to Valencia and moved everything in the house there. The only thing they didn't do was remove the crate but that was easy enough to deal with...just yell "free lumber" to all the nosy neighbors wondering who is moving in and it will be gone before you turn back around.
