Seems like it from what I've been reading. Wonder what he has in mind for that in the long term; i'm sure if he tears it down to build a hotel or some commercial building, that will face a protests by Baguio residents.

LSB, why not buy one of those old PCGG sequestered Marcos mansions on Outlook drive? Bagay na bagay sa mga chedeng.

SusMaria!

Wala pambili, yung bahay nga ng family namin dun halos hindi na ma-maintain. Dami na anay! Siguro pag giniba yun, kahit isang litson hindi makaluto yung kahoy, dahil naubos na ng anay!

:D

tsaka, baka ma-lifestyle check ako ng china-chongga de kubeta na si Kim Henares .................

Zubuchon at si Packy lang pa naman yung hinahabol ni Kim Henares. Wala pa siya sa inasal at sa Sugarlandia. :D

Tignan mo, bagay ang old school Euro sa mga Baguio house.

Just had to add this pic i saw on the same page :D (https://picasaweb.google.com/atenara...40080891248658)

Wow ... Series 2 XJ6 na "Shaguar", and a W123 on wire wheels ... rare! :D

That drop top Beetle, hindi na pwede ngayon yan doon. Mangagamoy diesel smoke ka na! Hehe

Alam ko ang bahay na yan! hehehe

^ Actually, puti daw dati yung doggie... naging greyish nalang dahil sa usok. :D

Bagay yung "Shaguar" tsaka 123 sa driveway diba?

We used to stay often at the house adjacent to that place when i was a kid.

That's the old Baguio. Iba na ngayon ..... sad to say!

**vinj** · January 9th, 2014 12:30 PM

Yeah, sadly indeed. The house next door to that, where we would stay before, had a Scout II and Ford LTD in the garage.

Hi Guys,

What's the fastest way to Baguio nowadays? NLEX - SCTEX - TPLEX (puro dulo?). Is Kennon a good place to pass now?

One more thing, if I want to make to Cafe by the Ruins by around 11 am, would leaving Pasig at 530 be early enough?

Thanks!

**Mguy** · January 5th, 2015 03:11 PM

NLEX-SCTEX (Tarlac) - TPLEX - Macarthur (from Urdaneta to Rosario) - Kennon Road is the fastest. It takes 4-5 hours driving briskly without traffic, and one quick stopover.

Pwede 11am nandoon ka na pero better leave earlier just to be sure.

Yup, NLEX - SCTEX - TPLEX - Urdaneta - Kennon. 5:30 AM is early enough for an easy drive to make it to Cafe by the Ruins if it's not a peak holiday. The last time, it took me around an hour or so from TPLEX Rosales entrance to San Fernando Pampanga and i was mostly keeping the car at 110-120kph.

When TPLEX reaches Rosario, i can start doing Baguio day trips for lunch from Pampanga (with stopover sa Hacienda Boybi pa).

Andito pala ang mga haciendero! Hehehe!

Thanks for the inputs guys. Were actually also wanting to go to Baguio after Xmas. Buti na lang walang nahanap na accommodations -- grabe daw traffic! Hopefully it doesn't get that bad next week, starting on the 15th.

Vinj, pag nabuo ang TPLEX, mas mapapadalas ka pa sa Baguio. Hehehe! Breakfast run and back before lunch ;)

Wifey and I used to do a similar getaway several times in the past,- early lunch and lamierda in Baguio; then back home in LPC just before midnight.... Surreal...

"Magda-drive ako hanggang Baguiooooooooooo.......... Yeah!!!.... "

With bro.vinj,- may kasama pang sizzling sisig...

Hehehe! Classic... Well, with all the traffic and congestion nowadays, these highways are going to help bring the travel times back down.

Kinda reminds me of Cars' treatment of Route 66, and the freeways that came up. Hehehe!

Agree with you bro.,- it is definitely heartwarming to pass through Radiator Springs one time or another....

Travel time last Jan 1 (started journey at 2 pm) from mindanao ave to end of tplex at urdaneta exit was less than 2 hours, walang pila sa toll gates. Travel time from exit of tplex at yesterday to mindanao ave smart connect was just over 2 hours, minimal pila sa toll gates. So yes kaya ng 4 hours ang baguio city via kennon.

Is the road leading up to Mt. Sto. Tomas paved already? Kaya na ba ng suzuki apv with 5 adults and 2 kids?
