Good morning everyone, how are you today?

I hope you are all feeling well.
So let us start our discussion for today.
And here are the Top 10 scenic roads in the Philippines

2nd
Since Coronavirus came to the Philippines, any movement is strictly limited and all we
can do is our free time is to spend leisure time on our phones or laptops and watch
videos that all about travel and beautiful sceneries that we dreamed to visit.

3rd
From there, we can see the beautiful view of the mountains, sunset, and passing cars,
and watched a busy street and caught myself thinking that the only thing I want to do
now is ride my motorbike , wear my helmet and drive. To where doesn’t matter. I think
many people like road trip as much as I do.

4th
We adore the road trip as a way of escape from reality. Imagine a road trip where you
were surrounded by the nature with an insanely beautiful view, it felt like your soul is
coming out from your body. The aesthetic pleasure of the trip added into the away-from-
reality bust.

5th
And then a question came into my head, “ Are there beautiful roads in the
Philippines?”. I’m sure there is because I once saw our a video of a road to the hot
spring in Cebu and it was super scenic!

6th
Immediately I searched the Internet and found a video about 10 beautiful roads in the
archipelago.
7th
Perhaps one of the days you will want to escape from the bustle and enjoy the incredible
view of the road, getting aesthetic pleasure from the country in which you are. So let’s
go!

No. 10 – Tagaytay-Talisay Road.

The Tagaytay-Talisay Road is a very steep and challenging mountain road located on

the Philippine island Luzon. It runs north-south from the village of Tagaytay to Talisay.
The road is considered very dangerous due to sharp turns, climbing uphill and the danger
of high risk of rock sliders. But it offers a magnificent view of Lake Taal, as well as the
crater of this volcano. The road combines extreme driving and an unrealistic surrounding
view. An unforgettable experience guaranteed!

No. 9 – Gingoog – Claveria – Villanueva Road.

The Gingoog – Claveria – Villanueva Road is designated as the National Route 955

(N955) of the Philippine highway network. It’s a two-lane, 71-KM national highway,
connecting the municipalities of Villanueva and Claveria, and the city of in Misamis
Oriental. The road allows travelers to have a magnificent view of the Balatukan Mountain
Range, which is the highest in the province and a stop over at the Flight 387 Memorial
Marker . The monument commemorates 104 passengers from the local Cebu Pasific
Flight 387, who were heading from Manila to Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao. The plane
crashed on February 2, 1998, all passengers and crew died. In addition, on the way along
this road you can stop at Claveria View Deck . Let’s just look at this beauty.

No. 8 – San Nicolas – Malico Road.

The route from Quezon City leading to Maliko has now become one of the most popular
destinations in North Luzon for motorists, including motorcyclists. This road, more
commonly known as the Villa Verde trail, was trodden by troops who pursued the
retreating Japanese soldiers during World War II. The trail crosses the Caraballo
mountains. Her condition worsened after the 1990 earthquake due to massive landslides
and landslides that left most of the trail impenetrable, but restoration work was carried
out and the route was extended to other cities.

No. 7 – Marikina – Infanta Highway.

Marifanta or the Marikina-Infanta Highway — is a driver’s dream. Marifanta is a
scenic 110-kilometer mountain highway connecting Metro Manila with Infanta in Quezon
province through Marikina and Rizal.

No. 6 – Cebu Transcentral Highway.

The Transcentral Highway is indeed one of the most revolutionary transportation
innovations Cebu has ever made. Through this mountain highway, land trips to lots of
places in Cebu’s central and northwestern parts can be faster and easier. At an aerial
view, it looks like a long snake perfectly nestled in the middle of the mountains and green
trees. Some locals and visitors even consider the place a mini Kennon Road of Baguio
City because of its evergreen surroundings and cool temperature. In fact, it can be really
foggy up here during rainy days.

No. 5 – Apayao – Ilocos Norte Road.

Adventure-seekers had found a similar spot on a trip to the Ilocos Norte-Apayao
road located between the boundary of Barangays Manalpac in Solsona town and Butao in
Calanasan, Apayao, some 40 kilometers from Laoag. Thousands of curious visitors and
mountaineers now ride a motorbike or a 4×4 off-road vehicle to reach the newly-opened
highway linking the two provinces, where a view deck at the top offers them a
picturesque sight of surrounding areas with rich flora and fauna, amid a sea of clouds.

No. 4 – Tagudin – Cervantes – Sabangan Road.

Is a 98-kilometer national secondary road in the Philippines that connects between the
provinces of Ilocos Sur and Mountain Province. The road starts at the junction of
Halsema Highway and ends at the junction of Manila North Road in Tagudin.
No. 3 – Bukidnon – Davao Road.
Often called as BuDa Road (a portmanteau of Bukidnon and Davao), connects Davao City
and the municipality of Quezon in Bukidnon. A very picturesque road, but even more
colorful is the location where the clouds kiss the mountains.

No. 2 – Daang Katutubo.

The scenic road that would link Aguilar to Mangatarem in Pangasinan and Sta. Cruz,
Zambales, was temporarily closed for expansion and construction of the bridge to
connect it with Daang Kalikasan Road. The incredible breathtaking view of this road
attracts many not only local, but also foreign tourists.

No. 1 – Daang Kalikasan.

One of the most scenic and dangerous roads in the Philippines, temporarily closed since
February 2020 due to accidents. The last victim was a 17 year old teenager who fell into
the gorge. The road is planned to be reconstructed and opened in 2021.

Well, now you are convinced that the Philippines is not only the beach and the sea, but
also amazing views outside the window of your car. Sometimes it even seems that these
are not tropical Philippines, but European surroundings. If you are not familiar with this
side of the country where you live or plan to visit, then do not waste time, feel the
adrenaline and enjoy the view.

And that’s all for our discussion for today…

Thank you for listening…
Good day everyone…
