World’s Most Dangerous Roads | Philippines, Serpentines | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

The Halsema Highway, situated on the island Luzon, leads right through the Philippine jungle with its frequent fog and heavy rainfalls. Every trip on this so-called road is an adventure and highly dangerous. We accompany a bus driver and a taxi driver on their challenging trip across the mountains.

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 👍👍👍

[@witchHunterRN]

One of the reasons why we didn't travel up much to my parent's hometown in Mt. Province was because of the roads (that was way back in the 90's). Now, the roads are much better (well, the one's going to their town but still not all other towns have better roads) that I could actually drive through Halsema. I don't remember how many times I have driven to Sagada, Tadian, and Bontoc but what I remember is that I do not get that much tired when I drive through the Cordillera Mountains. Make no mistake, even though the road have been widened a bit and paved, it is still one of the most dangerous roads. Respect the mountains, the men, women, and children who helped build the roads, and respect the roads and they will bring you safely to your destination. ^_^

[@orthodiva7487]

This brings back memories. I was born in Mankayan and lived in Lepanto. Left 1976. Visited Baguio 4 yrs ago. The smog and vehicle emissions gave me an asthma attack. Sad.

[@axelpatrickb.pingol3228]

Any road that goes through mountains is dangerous. The travel between Manolo Fortich to Cagayan De Oro here in Mindanao involves going down the mountain and it means roads with tight hairpin turns. Deaths from vehicle accidents and driver error are common there: my neighbor's younger brother died there when their motorscooter careened off a cliff in the dark of the night. Less common but more dangerous was getting picked as a target by the NPA; my mother's cousin was killed when a bomb exploded in the bus she rode on in front of CMU...

@@jazzyjbutterfly4929 I went to Banaue last December, It’s somewhat a 3-hour trip away from Sagada. From what I saw the roads are already almost completely cemented. I do think it’s so much better now, even I can drive there. If big buses can reach them, then smaller cars can.

I took a walking tour down in the valley through the patties and back through the village. A family had a kind of hotel and I stayed the night there. It was mostly cloudy and misty which gave my photographs an interesting look. I also toured a traditional village where the houses were on stilts. I saw the village council stones where the elders gave honor to their fallen foes. I saw statues of your magnificent eagles. So many thing I admire.

I am from Sagada and I can say that the roads are at a much better condition now. Majority of the roads are paved and the only real problem would be the weather condition. For most of the year its always foggy due to the high altittude which leads to low and poor visibility, but during the rainiy seasons, roadside mudslide/landslide are the real dangers.
