It was also a good thing that we contacted him beforehand because we got duped while in Laoag. We told the trike drivers in Laoag to transport us to St. Joseph Bus terminal but instead were carried to the terminal of Lorie Jane. The bus is also bound for Pagudpud however it can only take us as far as Pagudpud town and not to the real destination which is Bingbong Restaurant located in Gao-oa where Kuya Lee is patiently waiting. He was worried and too concerned about our situation when I told him about our Laoag experience. We heed to his advice to disembark in Maoini (near the Pagudpud town marker) and ride a van or a bus bound for Cagayan / Claveria to directly transport us to bingbong restaurant. He welcomed and greeted us with zest and in a friendly manner when he saw us disembark from the van.
I highly recommend Kuya Lee because of his professionalism (easy to deal with, courteous and with utmost integrity), patience, knowledge on the tourist spots and extra mile service.
