Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

[ice15]

Around how much ang total toll from Balintawak to Baguio? Autosweep and Easytrip to no?

no idea kung magkano total toll...

pero yes, you need both RFIDs para less hassle.

NLEX/SCTEX - Easytrip
TPLEX - Autosweep

[TheUninvited]

same here...

correct me if I'm wrong. Marcos highway pa din ba easiest way up?
(I normally only take Kennon on my way back to Manila)

Answering myself din, last November we took the Tuba Asin Road paakyat. It was fun as usual.

was at Baguio last Nov (when restrictions eased) and going up and down was very enjoyable, wala kasing provincial buses tapos reduced din public transport.

sometimes I wish na may road to Baguio na only private cars are allowed

***

minsan naiisip ko na ang swerte ng car buyers ngayon. we have numerous choices at every price range tapos even entry level cars are "ok"

wala pa akong nadrive na modern car (2015 and newer) na I can declare "under-powered"

gone are the experiences of driving a 57hp 4 speed 70's Beetle or the '76 Tamaraw with a 3K engine? The 2E on the XL/XL E100 was also not an enjoyable drive.

Beautiful view along Tuba-Asin Road:



Narrow 2-lane road though and lots of corners.

Comment lang, yes, it seems beautiful, but inhabited ba yung area?

I used to be adventurous din (had an old J40 Land Cruiser back in the day) but compared to then and now where people are depending on you, I don't think I'd chance this road with just one vehicle, kahit daytime pa. Another thing, is there cell site coverage?

I also wonder what would happen if may big vehicle na nag stall and the road were blocked? There doesn't seem to be a shoulder on the side of the road to go around it, even if you could shift to 4L drive

More info please, as I'm curious.

Yes inhabited naman. Sparse population but may mga dinadaanang small barangays. UV express plying Baguio-La Union also take this route every now and then.

There’s cell site coverage naman throughout the entire trip.

There are some parts of the route with shoulder. More importantly, trucks don’t pass this route. Jeep na biggest na nakasabay ko here.

Ah, yes, those class 3 vehicles do add stress climbing up Baguio if you find yourself behind one, and your vehicle doesn't have the "afterburners" to overtake uphill with power na hindi "umiire" too much (and not relying on building up momentum compared to raw power).

Since may cell coverage I might consider exploring this route minsan. Yung other pics posted by Uninvited seem to show na hindi naman tipong remote backroad ito.

Pero... until at least election season is over, I'll stick to main roads muna

not recommended during night driving... bukod sa malalayo ang bahay-bahay parang wala akong napansin na lamp post nung last na umakyat ako last January (iwas sa mga checkpoints).

ewan ko kung gaano ka-safe during rainy days dahil medyo maraming blind kerb/steep portion at twists n turns itong road na ito. ang maganda lang dito ay konti lang ang cars na gumagamit.

I love photos like this! Ang dami talagang magagandang lugar sa Pilipinas.

Is it true that you need the vaxcert dot ph to enter Baguio?

Not sure, but I do have a vaxcert saved in my phone when needed. I'm still waiting for the booster shot to reflect in the website tho.

We are attending a wedding in a couple of months. Sadly my family's vaccine isn't on the vaxcert yet. Kailangan pa pumunta ulit sa vaccination site para asikasuhin. Hassle lang.

Register muna kayo sa Baguio Visita. There you'll see the latest requirements. If you're staying in a hotel, the hotel will know as well.

Thanks for the heads up. Printing ours right now.

Latest Vaxcert already has our booster status. My parents were vaccinated down south but had their booster in Manila. All records are complete fortunately.

kudos to vax cert ha... and the LGU and those behind the encoding.. it takes so much effort sa encoding nyan.. minsan di lang natin na appreciate pero mahirap yung records keeping talaga lalo na if you want it to be real time as much as possible.. need pa din kasi talaga ng human intervention dyan
