PHILIPPINES BREATHTAKING HIGHEST ROAD! Scary Experience & Unexpected Adventure, Tinoc Ifugao

While visiting the former highest point of the Philippine Highway in Atok we couldn't be satisfied until seeing the new one as well.
So we left the beautiful foggy Maligcong, Bontoc and headed towards the remote Tinoc in Ifugao stopping by the New Highest Elevation of the Philippines. It turned out to be the scariest but some of the most exciting and beautiful roads we've ever experienced! Cold temperatures, landslide, high elevation and drops, unfinished rough roads, and even a scary encounter that left us uneasy for the first time.

I don't know if my favorite moment was Pixel on the cabbage patch, the cute moments in Tinoc or riding through the crazy road itself...? Regardless of the creepy encounter we had that left us a but uneasy this was such a great adventure and I'm so excited to have more soon!! 😍

[@user-ow4ry9iy3h]

Umali kayo kasin Come again

[@wintersojourn9356]

I like the riding in the little overpasses:small arches of stone carved out of mountain. & the little boy, so cute & wide eyed. He was fascinated by Susie.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

@@wintersojourn9356 he was so cute I wish I understoos what he said! He really wanted to show his tiktok videos that's for sure haha

[@wintersojourn9356]

P.s. …yes it is difficult to pick one fave. I also was charmed by the feathery carrot tops & the blooming cabbages in their patch. Another moment in my rewatch that I liked was the self serve rice. Susie served up a perfect, restaurant looking rice plateau! I know it is not difficult to do but I never do that with rice all my life, when serving it. & in my country it isn’t served in that manner either, at jest not commonly, even in Chinese or Japanese etc restaurants (usually comes in a round bowl or a unshaped serving on the plate).

[@johnnyS01]

Thanks for the upload Susie, great decision on trusting your instincts when feeling unsure of a possible bad situation occurring. It's always better to pull out rather than being placed in a defensive position or having to bring the fight to a possible assailant.

[@julidev1445]

That place is never seen by many. Only the adventurers and the braves like you guys. Thanks for the vid Susie and Hubby.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Glad we could share it with you also!! Jonathan was just telling me that it's almost for sure that I was the first Hungarian person on these roads / villages!

[@richardliis1025]

"Umali kayo kasin" means "come again" in english or "balik po kayo" in tagalog

[@thotosamz737]

The Philippines is called Asia's pearl of the orient for the richness of its culture and the beauty of its landscape. It is home to centuries old churches, turn of the century mansions, ancient forts and modern museums. The Philippines is an archipelago comprising 7,100 islands.

[@noemisalanatin4563]

Hello Susie and Jonathan 👋 salamat sa magagandang tanawin sa parte na iyan ng Pilipinas. Your vlogs are so relaxing and stress reliever to watch. You two compliments each other in a gentle and loving gestures. Always take care guys and keep on vlogging- God bless you both and your families too 🙏💐🥰

[@ingridmoniqueh9136]

I have never seen this part of the Philippines. Thank you for sharing your journey. It is beautiful in Benguet. Landslides occur after succeeding heavy rains. I live in California and the road on the way to Tahoe or Eastern Sierra always has landslides and rock slides. A few times in 10 years the bridge collapsed and took years to repair causing heavy traffic because the road was reduced to one lane,

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I'm happy we could take you there through the video! Landslide is sure scary. Seeing these rough roads I was a bit uneasy even though it was a great adventure! But I would definitely prefer not riding through here during rainy season.

[@Rian-Kurth]

Cant get enough from the Cordilleras! ❤

[@irmapaglinawan5291]

Hello Susie and Jonathan... Ingat kayo ...

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Hii, thank you ☺️

[@mhenggayclementevloggersah9827]

Many motorcycle adventure are sleeping in the mountain by tent, im happy to see you to representing my loving country for your ntroduce how the PHILIPPPINES are so beautiful not only the beaches and also the dangerous, shocking ang beautiful mountain with sea clouds in the othere part of the mountain just like in nueva ecija sea clouds

[@ridenipawehvlog8778]

I'll be back there soon.. with my bike again... People there is so kind

[@ditocruz1030]

This is why I felt relief that you guys decided to stay in Jonathan's hometown or somewhere near that part of the country, especially for the safety of not just you guys but Susie's parents as well. Traveling around the different islands in the Philippines is one thing, but settling for good is another. Filipinos in general are good, friendly people, but we have a very diverse culture. I remember when we hiked Batad, I asked our guide what the plants were on the terraces because it's harvest season. The porter asked, Why am I asking without knowing it's a Maryjane? I learned not to ask again. Another time, during our travels in Bohol for work, when the staff from Tourism didn't like the lunch we offered, they were talking in front of us in their own language, complaining about the lunch. They had no idea. I can understand some Visaya words.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Yes, safety is always the most important! People in the Philippines are extremely friendly but bad encounters can happen everywhere in the world. Also interesting info, I didn't know about the special plant in Batad! Only ever encountered it in Buscalan. 🙈

[@junekaturseestanol5634]

Hi..Susie & your partner.. take care always to your driving

[@user-vl5nx5sf4x]

Ride safe susie and Jonathan there are landslides every where due to rainy days. By the way, the back ground music improved a lot. It makes the content more enjoyable to watch😊

[@jasmines3490]

"Umali kayo kasin" a kankanaey language it means come again in English.

[@DiamondVach]

Cute dog....Sniffing and munching vegetables...

[@user-jl6ci8su8k]

Umali kayo kasin , means Come again... thanks for visiting our lovely place

[@maxgamboltv9940]

Much love from Maxgambol Tv 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Thank you for watching ☺️

[@user-xx2km7yn9s]

Stay safe Susie and Jonathan. Enjoy your tour of the Cordilleras.

[@Jonathan_SITP]

It was so cold on the road it's hard to imagine being back to the low lands now I miss it.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Me too!! 🥹

[@johnnyS01]

Jon, I'm sure after this outing YOU will be back in the area of comfort. Till the next video brother!

[@geraldgeronimo9716]

this vlog is unbiased, just fun travel vlog, and showing hidden gems everywhere maybe you should wear proper shoes next time, if were travelling frequently, don’t wear open sandals and socks only. 😇

[@joearanzanso184]

Keep safe always Susie and Jonathan , God bless guide and protect both of you always in your trip .👍

[@prkchoptv8663]

Wow finally Tinoc is fixing their roads. Last time I went there, backhoes are pulling up trucks and 4x4. ice sheet build on top of water. Everymorning bath is like brain freeze. Memorable. Btw, you mis vlogging the "real Yamashita area" has mini-museum there.

[@pubkentos4501]

Hi 👋 Little Susie…good to see a morning breeze vlog of you and Jonathan..❤😊

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Hii, thank you for watching us 🥰

[@user-jl6ci8su8k]

Mount pulag is beautiful on top. That is volcano in cabayan benguet , to much tourist will visit that place

[@user-gh1kk5ch4g]

[@LexvenForever]

"Umali kayo kasin" actually would mean, Thank you, come again, umali is come, kasin is again, although the word salamat is not included but that is really what it meant,.,😊

[@arnie13vlogs-jp6bl]

[@maritesidanas2452]

Umali kayo kasin means come again

[@aureliosanpedro967]

We're they found their water to use everyday ,it's so high,?

[@DiamondVach]

"UMALI KAYO KASIN"- meaning- "Come Back Again"

[@nildasabang-vo1ys]

❤❤❤

[@Merjay30]

UMALI KAYU KASIN means COME AGAIN😊

[@oxoelfoxo]

i probably would have scavenged a few of those left behind ugly carrots and cabbages, lol pretty rough for residents during the rainy season when landslides are frequent and they often get cut off from the world because of impassable roads.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Hahaha I was so tempted but I felt like it's stealing even though you're right it was just clearly thrown and treated as trash. 🙈 I can imagine it's so difficult! We've seen so many small houses on the cliff with nearby landslide must be so scary during big rain or typhoon.

[@KESSJB5934]

Sorry if locals in Tinoc didn't smile or greet you because they are shy people especially of foreigners but once you interact with them they are friendly and talkative don't worry people there are kind and generous,

[@PabloNaidasjr]

Be careful at the slope of the roads guys

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

We are taking it slow!! ☺️

[@PabloNaidasjr]

@@SusieinthePhilippines good to know

[@reeu5five534]

i think both of you need to have a baby this time. Both in their prime of their youth with such diverse genes.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

We have a recent vlog talking about this topic ☺️

[@Karma_has_arrived]

Nooooo it yet

[@blakedomatog6957]

God bless your travel guys stay safe no one fan her 😊

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@sonrhose833]

Umali kayo kasin means please comeback again.

[@maribelducayag7331]

"Umali kayo kasin" means "come Again"

[@wintersojourn9356]

May I ask in what language? Is it ilocano?

[@SiMrTabs]

Hi. May i ask, what camera are u using? Thanks and enjoy.

[@user-ow4ry9iy3h]

Maybe next time order chapsoy for your dog.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Haha it seems like she'd love it 😂

[@iwaki1987]

Have u smiled and waived hello when you saw those people? They will respond when u waive at them. We dont really talk with strangers on the road. Just saying. 😅😅

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

We meet many strangers on the road, share a smile, a nod or just pass by without interaction. This was different. We both felt something was off. It was a group and they were already watching us from further away then just pulled up very very close to us without saying a word, watching closely what we do. 99% percent of my encounter with people are positive here but bad people can be anywhere so it's better to be careful. We can't know what was going on for sure but it was the safer choice to leave!

[@wintersojourn9356]

Imo You were 💯 percent wise to heed your judgment. Always in that kind of scenario, trust your gut. So many times, people say “I had a bad feeling or just felt off, but they looked fine & nothing was strange in their behavior really…”. I just watched Adam & Jane’s channel & they had a Samar Cobra in their garden. Adam laughed & said he thought he felt it watching him when he couldn’t see it. I was thinking, it probably was! Our gut instincts still give us valuable info on danger or potential danger. . Susie knows, growing up around nature or farms & animals, there’s nonverbal communication. Sometimes it’s unmistakable.

[@wintersojourn9356]

P.s. & not to ignore Jonathan. He sensed something off simultaneously also… I wonder what Pixel was thinking, but good you didn’t take her out to check…

[@user-oo3lh1ls4r]

Your mic is going with the wind, it doesn't sound good sometimes.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Yes we noticed as well unfortunately, sadly sorry for the bad audio! It used to sound OK we are not sure what happens but working on finding a solution ☺️

[@gabrielatopping5832]

Umali kayo kasin means come again

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Hahaha joke lang 🤭
