Two quite separate things happen at Luzon’s piers. The short crossings continue the road: Batangas to Calapan for Mindoro, Lucena for Marinduque, and Matnog to Allen at the southern tip, the hour of water that joins the island to Samar and the Visayan highway beyond. The long crossings begin at Manila, which is tied to more routes than any other port in Luzon and reaches as far as General Santos and Davao City, voyages of two to three nights. Sixty-three crossings and twenty-six ports are listed across the island and its offshore provinces, with 2GO Travel on the long hauls and Starhorse Shipping Lines and Montenegro Shipping Lines carrying most of the shorter ones.
