A Road Trip to Baguio - November 27 - 29, 2010

Baguio City is a mountain resort city in the Philippines, known as "The Summer Capital of the Philippines" and "The City of Pines". This is one of the most favorite getaway of people who live in a busy metropolitan. Also, one of the most favorite vacation spot of the tourist. Because of it's cool breeze, a very relaxing vacation spot.

Waypoint:

By Bus:
Victory Liner - Caloocan, Pasay, Cubao terminal. Cost is just 450 Pesos per person one way (Most expensive among Aircon buses going to Baguio). A non-stop deluxe bus service is also available for 700 Pesos per person one way, snack is served during the trip. Semi-Deluxe buses are now included with one stop at Tarlac Shell station , costs around 650 pesos, no toilet inside the bus.

By Car:
From Manila to Baguio by car, take the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) from Quezon City until Clark and then hop on to the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) all the way north to Tarlac City, Tarlac. From there, it's back to the old McArthur Highway until Rosario Junction, La Union. Motorists drive through the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac and Pangasinan and La Union (if via Marcos Highway) or Benguet (if via Kennon Road). Of the three main routes leading up to Baguio, scenic Kennon Road is the shortest taking only three-quarters to one hour from the foot of the mountains in Rosario, Pangasinan. Travel period takes 6-7 hours.

  1. Hi Potchoi Potchai, I am Roland Paez onwer of Doglas, the St. Bernard Dog in Baguio City that you wrote about in your blog. I would like to personally thank you for your wonderful words. I am overwhelmed to learn how much joy Doglas can bring to people, and the positive effect he has on those who are able to appreciate his presence. I hope that through your blog, you can help us reach more people so that they too can experience the happiness Doglas can give. We hope that more people visit him at Burnham Park in Baguio (Formerly located at Mines View Park and Doglas is not in any way related to other Saint Bernard Pictorial Dogs within Baguio) as we wish to be able to touch more lives with the happiness that he brings. Again, thank you so much, and do visit us again soon.
