This is the best way. . .
Kennon road nga lang iwasan kapag naulan. Malakas ang chance na may mga bato na manggagaling sa taas nang bundok. Muntikan n kame date nung biglang inabutan nang ulan nung nasa loob na nang kennon road.
If gabe ka byabyahe mas recommended ko marcos highway medyo malayo nang konte at least maluwag ang daan. . .

Marcos hiway.

[confused shoes]

Is there somebody actually counted the number of left and right turns going up to Baguio? I don't think Kennon has more if you count turns from Saitan junction until the two roads finally meet again just after Baguio General Hospital. It looks mas marami ang turns sa Kennon kasi mas frequent but the road is a way shorter.

For a first timer during these months, may be it is more advisable to take Kennon where traffic going up and down is slower.

Where'd you recommend to exit from TPLEX?

[confused shoes]

Paniqui pa rin.

[lowslowbenz]

^^

Last time I used Paniqui.

I dunno if its still the same today. The TS can ask the TPLEX toll booth operators naman on which exit to take, just to be sure.

[IMm29]

Thanks!

Heard somewhere else that the roads from the Paniqui exit to MacArthur were smaller than those from Gerona, so the latter was the preferred exit. Wasn't able to confirm.

Yes, medyo makitid ng konti yung connecting road from TPLEX exit to MacArthur sa Paniqui, pero manageable naman. May mga portions din na cracked na ang concrete na kalsada.

[confused shoes]

^Normal naman ang secondary roads natin kahit 2-way, masikip talaga. Parang yung later part ng Tarlac City Exit ng SCTEX. Yung from Shell to MacArthur. But the Paniqui road is newer and traffic is less. A few tricycles. Saka malapit lang yung exit na yun sa MacArthur. Isa pa, malapit ka na sa Pangasinan paglabas.

[IMm29]

^Thanks guys. Paniqui it shall be. Waiting for Rosales though

gamit ka ng WAZE, para guide mo na din.

ung AVT GPS ko hindi updated ung map, nung mapunta kami ng TPLEX pinapa-u-turn ako.

[kurdapio]

Using waze will guide you to TPLEX Gerona exit but I took Paniqui exit din. This was just last month.

[r_delro]

Also planning to go to baguio next week po. Advisable pa ba dumaan sa magilas trail?Ano last exit ng tplex?

^Gerona pero nakakaligaw. Maguilas is not recommend if you are not familiar of the place. I suggest you return to MacArthur at Paniqui Exit.

nakakainis ang roadworks sa pangasinan lalu na kung daytime ka bibiyahe....another alternative is to take a left turn at the 2nd stop light at urdaneta city.

it will take you through the towns of manaoag, mangaldan, san jacinto, san fabian and exit manila north road/mcarthur hway (damortis junction). drive up farther north up to agoo and take a right turn to aspiras (a.k.a marcos hiway)

you may also want to take this route even at night. dito nadaan ang mga ilocos bound buses (except partas) din just to avoid the traffic caused by roadworks at the main highway. huwag ka lang dadaan dun sa may "to san fabian" sa may bandang san jacinto kasi it's a road less travelled. some motorists even reported stoning incidents at night at that road. direcho ka lang hanggang matumbok mo yung coastal road papuntang dagupan.

but if you decide to go through the roadworks, exercise caution esp at night dahil yung convergence ng newly paved road sa old road ay may ground hump na maari ka gawing mad max kung hindi mo ito makita agad. nangyari ito sa akin. may sinusundan akong starex at high speeds e kotse ang dala ko. bigla umalikabok ng makapal at ayun muntikan na tumalon kotse dahil dun sa humps.

hindi pa pala tapos yung mga roadworks na 'yan? yan ang nagpahirap sa amin last time we went there last feb. yata yun. isa pa yung pila sa tollbooths ng scitex kasi long weekend nun at ang dami umakyat.

basta going to baguio, we also prefer kennon road. pag swerte ka na walang masyado kasabay na trak or traysikel ang bilis lang ng byahe at kayang-kaya segunda/tersera minsan nakaka-kwarta pa (manual or auto). pag may mga mabagal na kasabay at halos convoy na kayo sa bagal, jusko babad primera/segunda.
