Cebu to Manila in 6.5 hours?

If you didn’t fly, how long would it take to travel from Cebu to Manila? Did you know the same distance in Texas takes about 6.5 hours? That’s right! If you imagine Manila in Wichita Falls, Texas and Cebu in Galveston, Texas, the drive would take about 6.5 hours. Of course that’s assuming a vehicle that can make the 430 mile (690 km) trip without stops.

If you are new to Texas, or have been here a while, the Galveston to Wichita Falls trip would include stops at Buc-ees and other famous Texas landmarks.

When I was calculating my trips from Manila to asawa’s province in Agusan del Norte, I would estimate the flight as from Dallas to New Orleans. I wasn’t very far off at all.

Texas is big. Texans are proud. Philippines has over 7,000 islands. Filipinos are proud. It is a natural marriage of peoples and cultures.

In case no one has said it, “WELCOME TO TEXAS!”
