hitman531ph Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 The photo below is a sample of the kind of roads you will encounter in Laurel, Batnagas. About 70% of the roads are unpaved. There are portions along this road that are concrete-paved but some have been damaged by landslide as the road is in a mountainous area. Only the "bayan" or "poblacion" or main town of Laurel, Batangas is fully paved with concrete and a little way out of the mountainous areas. This road has no lamp posts although there is electricity is many homes on the road side. Some of the homes are nice and new. The owners of the homes are either OFWs or successfull fishpond owners. The mode of quick transportation here is via motorcycle. If you intend to use a regular passenger car, the suspension will be severely challenged and your underchassis will surely get scratched by the rough roads repeatedly. An SUV or a pickup truck is best. Laurel is actually a samll town, but it took me two hours and a half negotiating through rough roads which began at the fringes of Agoncillo, Batangas. I exited the town on the other side into Alfonso, Cavite and up into Canyon Woods and into the Alfonso-Lemery Road Quote Link to comment

hitman531ph Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 The coastline of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte are mostly rocky and not fit for swimming or even wading. But this is one of the few sandy beaches in Ilocos Norte, found in Fort Ilocandia and surrounding areas which directly face the South China Sea Quote Link to comment
hitman531ph Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Patapa Elevated Road, just before the territorial boundary between Ilocos Norte and Cagayan Province at the northern edge of Luzon Beneath this road is water and sharp rocks. The water you see is the Babuyan Channel which separates the Babuyan Islands and the province of Batanes from the rest of Luzon. Turn on your radio at this point and the broadcasts are in Chinese emanating from Taiwan. Quote Link to comment
