[edit] Transportation and Communication
[edit] By land
Salingogon is accessible by land and by sea. By land, jeepneys are the mode of transportation. Naga City Tabuk Terminal houses the jeepneys going to Salingogon. It takes approximately two hours to make the trip, since the jeepneys have to travel along and across the mountainous parts of Minalabac. One of the most exciting parts of the trip would be when travellers glimpse the coastal area that pops up as they reach Sitio Balluhan. The white pebbles of the beach at Salingogon makes it popular with locals and tourists alike.
[edit] By sea
Boat rides to Salingogon can be caught at Pasacao Seaport on a motorized banca, which can handle 10–15 people, or on a big sea vessel, which can accommodate 30–60. The trip to Salingogon takes approximately two hours by sea.
