Quezon is southeast of Metro Manila

From Buendia
If you opt to leave Manila at an earlier time, JAC Liner Buendia has early morning trips going to Lucena Grand Terminal. As early as 2 AM, the first bus trip is already available. During holiday seasons however, there are a lot of people already lining up the terminal as early as 11 PM. In my case, we arrived JAC Liner Buendia at 1 AM, and yet there was already a long queue of people ahead of us. We departed at around 2:30 AM through their 3rd bus schedule. Below are JAC's available trips to Quezon.

Cagbalete Island is a 1,640-hectare property located east of Quezon Province (in Luzon, north of the Philippines), with size of the island comparable to Boracay. Part of Mauban, Quezon, it rests along the waters of Lamon Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Although all areas of the island are privately-owned, the southwestern part of it is populated by a number of Visayan fisherfolks who have settled in the idle lands. Known as "Sabang", this fishing village can be estimated to be populated by over a thousand people. These people have learned to live through by earning money from fishing, farming (there are ricefields in certain areas), woodcutting, getting lumber and copra, and drying/ processing seaweeds.
