Dito ko dumaan kahapon (Maundy Thursday) going up.

Observations:
- madami pa ding areas ang under repair / rehab / construction. Meron naman mga warning signage and DPWH marshals stationed along the way to assist. Meron din mga area na one way gawa sa rock slides / rehab.

- Since maganda panahon kahapon going up, no problem and relatively light traffic.

- Mga rehab areas ay bagong sementado / road widened na, pero madami padin yung makitid na 2-lane road section kaya exercise caution.

- Kennon is slated to be opened until Monday April 22 but can be closed due to bad / inclement weather (medyo umambon ng slight drizzle kaninang hapon).

Now in Baguio...

Since Kennon Road is still close, i took the Tuba-Asin Road, and i like it.

Roads are two lanes and relatively well paved, except for a few areas that you have to slow down because of sudden uneven roads. Lots of twists and turns, long uphill climbs and a few sharp uphill curves.

The best thing is, there are no trucks, buses. Only few vehicles are taking this route.

For the adventureous and experienced drivers, this road is a good alternative, but i don't recommend to newbies and faint hearted.

It took me 4 hours and 15 mins, from BGC to CJH.

Still Kennon Road for me, when it opens. It will save me 45 mins.

Ito ba yung may nag-open recently na bagong tulay? Yung sinasabing alternate route going to Baguio habang sarado yung Kennon?

Is your ride the InnovaD, bro?

Okay lang ba sa GS?

Is it showing in Waze now?

Delikado sa fogs?

Yes, it's the Innova. Drove in D all the way, no power mode. Easy drive.

Kaya ng GS, with a driver like you, kayang kaya. Di naman sya katulad ng Ligaya drive.

Yes, option sya sa routes, which is actually 4 minutes longer than Marcos Highway and 5 kms longer sa destination ko, but i chose this kasi mas lesser traffic.

Fogs? Oo, medyo hindi pa safe sa foggy day and night drives, hindi pa ganun kaganda if i compare sa Kennon and Marcos Highway.

Why are people thinking that going up to Baguio will be hard for a small car? I drove up to Bagiuo with people and luggage using a previous gen City 1.5L and Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost with no issues at all.

"they have been mis-informed."
probably by folks who had also been mis-informed.

many years ago, there was this rumor that mitsubishi minicas were not allowed to enter the wrigley's chewing gum factory, because they might get stuck if they ran over a spot of used chewing gum on the road surface.
