Very informative, even for a Filipino like me. I love the way they showed the stories of the people and the region. The footages are atleast a few years old though. Whang-od doesn't do tattoos other than her signature 3 dots anymore. The roads are also much better now. Also, it's pronounced Bag-yo, and Boog-yas. LOL. Otherwise, very nice documentary. I've passed Halsema Highway before via bus but I only realized just how treacherous it can be when I rode my motorcycle there. Landslides, fog, rain, wind that tries to knock your bike down, the slippery serpentine roads; it was certainly a challenge. This looks well-researched, and though I'm not from this region, i feel like the people are presented well. Good job to those who worked on this 👍👍👍

Okay, you got me with the "emergency", it looked a little too real. But seriously, their work ethic is amazing to me. It actually makes me think about how blessed I am to live where I live. But there are lessons anybody can take away from this. One thing I noticed is that they actually know how to fix and maintain their vehicles, which allows them to stay in operation and make money.

Bear in my mind that this video was uploaded 10 years ago and was just re-uploaded. The roads are now concrete and cemented because that area is a tourist spot.

[@harithgodz]

From my point of view filipinos have a lot of potential and talent, and most are really hardworking as well, but the opportunities never come. most of the time it's because of financial issues, sometimes it's the lack of appreciation/support from the government. even our professionals are treated poorly with low wages and research for development were not given much importance so they leave the country to look for the opportunity they deserve

[@ting.8252]

I remember my first Halsema Ride from Bontoc to Baguio via D'Rising Sun, I almost puke. It was raining hard but that didnt stop the driver from driving fast. When he turns your stomach will also turn (upside down) while looking at the cliff. You know that he is very experienced and confident on the road. Everyone (Locals) is at ease with the driver except me hahahaha super memorable

[@HJ-di1bo]

The Halsema Highway was already cemented years ago. There are occaisional landslides during rainy season. Repairs and improvements are being done promptly and frequently. The road is as safe as it could be as long as the driver is used to traversing that highway. Halsema is not for the faint hearted drivers. A single miss on one way areas and sharp curves will land you meters below the ground.

[@thegreendossier6469]

I've been here in Sagada, Mountain Province I took the bus from Baguio city. It has been an amazing experience. I went to see the Sea of Clouds on top of the Mountain and the hanging coffins on the side of the mountain. Very historic area, so much for the American influence. Even the locals are fluent in English. In the bus, the view wasn't as bad; however, in this drone footage that side of the mountain is terrifying.
