Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

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.

^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.

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.

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

^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.
