trip to baguio

**XUV-AT2002** · January 25th, 2007 03:49 PM

OT: Need trafik advisory lang mga Tsikoteers:

I will go to Baguio next Friday.

Aside from being at Urdaneta before the 7 to 8 AM window to avoid long trafik. What other time within the day (day time) na hindi masyado mahaba trafik sa Urdaneta?

If I take the alternate route (saan ba ito exactly?) how much is the additional travel time to Bauio?

Thank you.

been there with the family two weeks ago. stayed in one of the little hotels in leonard wood road. baguio is nice this time of year.

traffic nga lang lagi sa session road, hirap pa mag park. what we usually did was park our cars at SM (flate rate 20 bucks) then walk the rest of the way to wherever we would go sa city center.

Unless you know the Urdaneta alternate route very well, I'd suggest you just follow the traffic window. Dati nadaan ako dun. Nakaiwas nga sa traffic kaso the road was so narrow and the rice driers and carabao carts were so many, I think I took even longer!

Bawal na po mag park sa Session road on both side from 6-9 am and 4-7 pm
Experimental lang but i've read that the mayor plans to extend this kasi maganda daw feedback at lumuwang ang traffic..

Well for those who will be coming this Panagbenga festival, it is time to make your hotel reservations baka mapuno agad...

It's still nice in Baguio today..It is very cold day today ..kaninang madaling araw nag register daw ng 10.something degrees celsius.. medyo makulimlim pa ang langit and there was a short drizzle a while back. Hirap gumising lalo na pag 7:30 ang pasok..hehehe .:lotsocoffee:

It's a nice Hotel pero may construction na ginagawa sa tabi niya kasi gumuho yung katabi nyang bundok. Most special occasions (weddings, seminars) are held there. That was before (2 or 3 years ago). Haven't been there lately to attend some functions.. Try to scout other Hotels.. they may offer you what you and your family needs...

enjoy your vacation..

wag lang kalimutan pag-baba ng Baguio, don't just use brakes while free-wheeling, baka masunog preno mo. samahan lang ng konting engine brake palagi para maiwasan sakit ng ulo.

hehehehe. planning to take the bus..... dont really have the patience to drive that long....

*hanren: siguro dun na lang din muna ako. got a two night package there for only 5k. malapit lang ito sa session road diba? and besides sa baguio naman, konting taxi lang, andun ka na sa destination mo.

**zanch** · January 29th, 2007 03:12 PM

Mura lang taxi sa baguio. Mababait pa mga driver dun.

**typhoon** · January 29th, 2007 06:12 PM

If I remember it right, sa Hotel Supreme kami nagstay ng family ko last 2002 and ok naman experience namin. AFAIK medyo malayo sya sa Session road (lapit na ata sya sa strawberry fields?) pero dami naman nga taxi dun mababait pa drivers hehe.

**landlord** · February 1st, 2007 01:50 AM

Medyo malayo yang Hotel Supreme and matraffic yung area na yan papunta La Trinidad.Mahaba kasi yang Magsaysay Ave. I would suggest other hotels near session like Veniz (across Burnham and the market) and Microtel which is beside Victory Liner terminal or Bloomfield across SM. They also have lower rates.

Yup. Pwede mo pa sila upahan ng flat rate na reasonable naman. Yung Kia Pride GTX na nasakyan ko may heater pa. Perfect for chilly days.

**CVT** · February 1st, 2007 07:54 AM

Forecast temperature for Baguio today,- from 9C to 21C....

So cool,- best time of the year to visit the place!

1801 :fuzzy:

**XUV-AT2002** · February 1st, 2007 12:46 PM

Sir Optep how much ba regular taxi rate and negotiated falt rate to go around baguio city?

Bukas na punta namin ni misis pero undecided pa ako if i will drive a car or take a bus. Hindi ba mahirap mag comute sa baguio at this time of the year?

Thanks in advance.

**frankclean** · February 1st, 2007 01:54 PM

you might also want to try the new HOTEL 45 its near SM ,rates are reasonable. a room good for 3 person would cost you 1200 a day with free breakfast.

its really cold now adays sa baguio so dont forget to bring your jacket sir. penagbenga festival starts today feb 1

**Hanren** · February 1st, 2007 03:01 PM

Flag down ng taxi is 25. nag i increment ng 1.50

Di gaano mahirap mag commute ngayon. if you take the victory liner bus, pagbaba nyo dun sa terminale eh malapit lapit na session road or SM. May mga naka pila ng taxi at puwede rin mag jeep na lang lapit lang.

Iba pa rin pay may sasakyan ka. Convenient kayo. That is, if you are already familiar with the route around Baguio. Bawal na kasi parking sa session road on certain times. Traffic is moderate to heavy at times lalo na sa may papunta ng session road o SM.

Pero since malamig pa ngayon, why not walk na lang?

**OTEP** · February 1st, 2007 04:29 PM

Most recent na umakyat sa amin ng Baguio was my Aunt. Two weeks ago parang Php1,000++ yung upa niya sa FX for 8 hours.

October '05 pa ko huling nag-Baguio. Wala din akong dalang sasakyan. Hindi naman mahirap makahanap ng taxi. Pati Daihatsu Hijet na taxi meron pa dun. Parang hindi ka mabubuhay kapag nabangga.

**XUV-AT2002** · February 1st, 2007 04:57 PM

Frankclean, Hanren and Otep - thank you for the information and advice. We will just ride via Victory Bus. Akala ko kasi marami na tourist because of the flower festival eh mid of feb pa pala yun. Ang malayo lang naman is our destination guest house sa bakakeng road and place of our conference at john hay. In case of change of mind ready naman xwind ko to go up though top speed is only 120kph at hirap sa overtake kasi A/T. Regards to all.

Hi Guys:

I'd appreciate any update on the traffic situation in Urdaneta. Is the roadwork that's taking forever still on-going?

Also, has anyone tried the alternative route published in C! magazine sometime last year.

Thanks for the advice. We'll be going up next weekend.

**zanch** · April 8th, 2007 05:29 PM

Just got back from Baguio. Urdaneta is good to go na!

Coming from manila use the concepcion > la paz > Victoria > Ramos > Paniqui route. May mga signs bro or you can ask the friendly folks around the area. lastly check your car's status and make sure it's in tip top shape. Have a safe trip!
