Pinoy Joyride - Kennon Road Joyride (Baguio Bound)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ย. 2014
- Documented my Kennon Road trip to Baguio. It was a nice sunny morning and the sights of the mountain ranges are beautiful! One of the famous zig zag roads in the Philippines, Kennon Road. Used one my favorite video games music, Outrun.
This time have to be behave since we got some senior citizen passengers with me hehehehe.
Road Condition - paved roads
Drive thrill - Average Fun, there are many cars along the road. Narrow curves.
Security - there are many houses and small towns along the road, caution on falling small debris
Rating: 4/5 :-)
18:37 Lion Head
27:16 Camp John Hay
From Wikipedia:
Kennon Road (formerly, the Benguet Road[1]) is a roadway in Benguet province in the Philippines connecting the mountain city of Baguio to the lowland town of Rosario in La Union province. The project was begun in 1903 and opened for travel on January 29, 1905. It was originally called the Benguet Road and later renamed in honor of its builder, Col. Lyman Walter Vere Kennon of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. For travelers coming from Manila or the provinces in the central plains of Luzon, it is the shortest route to Baguio.

Man I miss the old normal than today 😭 I always love to go Baguio every new year
Wow! I grew up in Baguio in the 70's and 80's but haven't been back home there in over 30 years. :( Thank you for this video!
Man, I remember watching all of your Joyride videos. it's quite nostalgic
I am from Batangas, people of Baguio are good and honest. I enjoyed my stay there.
The taxi drivers are honest. But the people selling strawberries or anything selling for local and foreign tourist are not honest. They came from the lowlands of the southern part outside of luzon.
dmitrivalencia, sir laki talaga Ang naitulong ng video na to noong pumanhik Ako ng Baguio, sobra pasalamat ko Sayo, gabayan ka lagi ng panginoon as iyong paglalakbay,☺
God bless you! Safe journey!
Naalala ko ung game na outrun sa sega sa music mo hehehe
@dmitrivalencia thank you for this. I've let my parents watch this before our trip on Baguio last December. We always take Marcos Highway since they are afraid of Kennon Road but when they saw your video they saw that it was not a rough road anymore unlike before. So, last December upon our trip to Baguio we took Kennon road for the first time and it was very comfortable that we avoided that traffic of Marcos Highway and the large trucks that makes it longer to get to Baguio City town proper. From Manaoag, Pangasinan (we attended a mass) it took only like an hour from the Kennon road toll gate to Baguio City town proper. (I really like to take Kennon road so I can take a pic with the Lion's head statue which I did ) THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS! if we haven't watched your video we could have taken marcos highway again and never had the chance to experience Kennon road and took a pic with the Lion's head. THANK YOU AGAIN! I subscribed in your channel last November 2017. More power!
After watching this lengthy video, I saw what Kennon Road was like. It also provides a maganda view of the mountains en route to Baguio City. Now I also saw why the road isn't all-weather like Marcos Highway-mainly due to rock slides. You had to take some serious chances overtaking vehicles on this winding mountain road. Salamat for another great video you shared.
***** thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed watching the mountain routes.. Mountain routes are one of my favorites :-)
Brian Hudson I missed that canon road I remember when I driving a Philippine rabbit bus line.
Brian Hudson ang husay mag Drive..
Nice video! I just love the music. Haven't been back to Baguio in at least 40 yrs.
Very nice video. Reminds me of my trips there. Thanks for posting. And yes, they charge you P15 at the tolls going up.
Galing! Ikaw na! I enjoyed the trip! you are a Very good driver!
Filipino from Canada here. I will drive this road to Baguio soon! Thanks for the nice video.
+Evandiego16 welcome home po!

Para rin akong nakarating ng Baguio. Matagal na rin akong d nkapasyal dun. Sobrang kaskasero ng driver. Nahilo ako, pero nag-enjoy naman sa byahe. Salamat po!
Salamat sa joyride😀, galing kami dito last January lang at parang bitin ang stay namin. Kaya nang makita ko itong video mo pinanood ko agad and sa totoo lang ang saya...seeing all the sites again brought back memories of our family vacation, saya 😊. Thank you 😍
Ang sarap... parang ako ang nagmamaneho... even the music - superb! nakaka-relax mag-joyride... napa-subscribe tuloy ako... thanks, dmitrivalencia...
Played it at 1/2 speed and got double the amount of video. beautiful scenery and even the music sounds cool.
+OpenSesame001 Thanks for the tip i watched it as you mentioned.
I miss baguio. everytime I sad lagi ko lng to pinapanuod video nio then narerelax ang mind ko. I love nature tlga its makes me feel cool and relax..mi next visit there hope ksma ko na family ko :-)))
man the feels it gives me I want to travel again just to enjoy the ride!! very satisfying video
Enjoyed you video. I felt like I'm one of the passengers. Hehe. You got me laughing with your "behave mode" comment. Kinda reminded me a friend of mine who have the uncanny ability to make his passengers prayerful and remember their God.
gc129calbe thanks for watching! hehehehehe! At least di po beast mode :)
Thanks for that lovely joyride! Really enjoyable, traffic are not bad, the sceneries are gorgeous. I fell like I'm travelling with you.👍🙏🏻❤️😅😍😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍

thank you for posting this video. parang nagtravel na rin ako sa Baguio for the first time :)
Ganda ng mga ginagawa mong segments sa channel mo para narin akong nakapag travel sa ibat ibang panig ng bansa! Mabuhay programa mo! 👍👍👍
Thank you i saw again Baguio thru you after 44yrs....God bless and always take care!
wow.thank you sa upload.informative.namiss ko na baguio.uwi na ako :D
I miss my birrthplace i was born yr 1958 and stayed at kennon rd, Benguet that was where Benguet Exploration Mining Co. and Black Mountain Mining Co.
Its like i've been there too bec of this video. Baguio is green and lots of it! So sad to see the mountain no longer as beautiful as it has to be. So many houses beside the road. Never been there ever. Siguro hindi tlga kaylan man. This is my daughters account. I saw views while driving also in Switzerland.. Its stunning! But the mountain there is not green.. Its like a big big rock! Anyway thank you for making this video.. I enjoyed it..😜😀
I was waiting to see the Lion Head, wow still there !!!. But I did not see, or maybe missed it on the video to see the waterfalls on the right side of the road with the hanging bridge to get to it. BRIDAL VEIL FALLS. There was another waterfalls up the road from it to the right side. But you would have to stop to walk about a 100 yards or so to see it. Maybe they have all dried up. Gosh...I missed the Philippines. Been 40 years since then. Thank you.
I love your videos sir especially the music. We also took the same road going up to Baguio with my Dad and Filipina step mom back in 1998 and it was night time. They say its perilous to drive there at night and that time there were few barricades on the side and road lights still a great ride and we made it through.
James Scott thanks you like Baguio
Best place in the Philippine Islands to have a Weekend getaway.
I WAS IN BAGUIO LAST JUNE 2018...WHEN I SAW THIS VEDIO MISS THE PLACE AGAIN TNX FOR THE UP LOAD SIR...
thanks for the vids, i pass by kennon road kung di madaling araw gabi kaya di q ma appreciate ang view, and minsan ako pa driver..pero tibay nung nagbabike paakyat ng kennon, salute!!!
Para narin akong nakapagta-travel na kasama mo heheheh... i really enjoy your channel. 👍👍👍
Habang pinapanood ko ito, feeling ko ako ang nag-dadrayb, astig!!!
Thanks for posting this, driven that road more times than I can count running to Baguio to buy vegetables! Have memories of driving up the river bed after landslides on more than one occasion....
Ray Haffenden thank you for watching sir!
dmitrivalencia Just call me Ray. Used to also go up the renamed Marcos Highway, and as the Naguilian Road to Bauang. Our website www.herephilippines.com explains why those roads are so familiar...
17:20 Alanganin ang overtake mo.

Thank you for sharing! I miss Baguio already!
Noemi Ty thank you for watching! We will be uploading Baguio City Joyride anytime this month. Just finishing many pending works , sorry for the delays.

thanks bossing sa video na to., para na rin akong nakapunta sa baguio nito ^-^
Sarado Ang Kennon Road Dahil Sa Lindol
Reminds me of the time we used walk, several times (4.5 yrs), along kennon road from camp 1 in rosario to the the city proper in camp 7. Very trcherous and narrow made more dangarous because of commercial buses and cargo trucks plying the road to and from the city. Have changed a lot now, very green compared to what it lokked like in mid 70's.
sarap mag-joyride kasama ng mga video ni sir Dmitrivalencia. parang naaamoy ko din ang mga pine tree.
Amazing road trip. I have an idea now on my next visit...
thanks for sharing,wanna visit Baguio again
Zigzag and canyon road.
Amazing landscape as well.
Thanks for sharing
Ayos ung road papuntang baguio.. gandang pagmasdan kahit delikado
Baguio City will Never Be the Same like Before Specially with all that Jeep and Traffic... But Baguio Will Still Be in My Heart as Long as I Live. I Love Baguio. And Nice Video. 😇😀😇😀😇 You Forgot to put the Title of the Music?
This made me excited to our trip to baguio
My nuhuli & asawa & I rode Victory Liner from Pasay City sa
Baguio City sa Abril 21, 1980, we stayed 2 araw sa Camp John
Hay. We went sa ang Kennon road. We were kasal over 1 taon
Kailan sa went sa Baguio City.
Christopher O'Rourke it brings back memories sir?
Oo, sa brings back memories. Ang present Bued bridge replaced and old Bued bridge
that was built nasa 1949 alin was ano call a Pennsylvania style bridge alin sa very
common nasa Estado sa Pennsylvania. Many sa Pennsylvania style bridges nasa
Pennsylvania are being replaced with newer non Pennsylvania style bridges.
Christopher O'Rourke inglisen mo ba kung mag Ingles ka. Pfffftttt!!!!
I enjoy your videos dmitrivalencia! :)
Ang galling nang scenery panay green ang nakikita, pero marami ditto niyan sa States na mas delikado pa and mga curvada sa Kennon road.
Thanks a lot! I enjoyed the ride! I've watched it so many times. It feels like a real joy ride. Hope you'll also make a video for Baguio to Ilocos Sur. 😊
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Grayson Hamza I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Grayson Hamza It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Nikolas Dylan glad I could help xD
Thank you for making this video sir! 1st time ko makapunta sa Baguio. Nagdecide kami ng gf ko na mag kotse na lang instead na mag bus para daw matry ko magdrive dito. Sobrang kabado ako sa idea (less than a year of driving experience here and I used a 98 civic manual trans) kase sabi sa mga nababasa ko matarik daw. Buti na lang nakita ko tong video mo sir. Minemorize ko to during lunch breaks sa work for a whole month prior dun sa trip namin. Happy to say na nakaakyat kami ng safe dahil sa video na to! Nag-Marcos Hway naman kami pababa. Thank you po uli! 😊
+Ramon Jonathan Sapalaran thank you for watching and i am glad my video has aided you in a way to your journey! :-)
Perfect use of the “Outrun” soundtrack 😉
you took a long way sir dapat umexit kayo sa loakan airport road malapit lang johnhay
I plan to go to Baguio when ECQ is over, do you think that's a good idea or will roads leading to Baguio be very congested after ECQ is over because everybody would be eager to go to Baguio?
sa wakas nakarating din aq ng baguio dahil sa bidyo nato haha
Ang galing! When you have a chance I'd like to see you do Halsema Hwy to Bontoc/Sagada. I took that road in the early 80s.
wow! adventure talaga yun if mga 1980's! paved roads na ngayon as I saw on other videos. Planning to do that kaso gusto ko ako lang saka isang kasama. Ayaw ko may kasama senior citizens hehehe like this trip
Halsema highway,nakasama yata to sa top ten most dangerous road sa mundo
Thank you very much for this channel.. you are promoting our nation through your worthless efforts.. proud to be Pinoy...God bless you more..
.
Worthless effort means in my own filipino.. di matawarang/ walang kasing halaga na effort.. you can correct / edit it yourself..
Bernardo De Guzman
Ah, sige okay. I think you mean priceless. Cheers, man. Sorry for nitpicking.
Worthless? Bobo
Nakakamis pumuntang Baguio
OK Lang babalik ako ulit dyan
See you soon Baguio
Great video thanks for uploading...:)
Last time I went here, I used a motorcycle. It took us less than 5 hours from Manila to Baguio. I missed those days.
***** travel time is shorter with the TPLEX even if its up to Rosales currently. Although there is still the thrill of passing the Mc Arthur Highway despite the increasing number of tricycles :-)
Eto na ang pinaka-paborito ko sa lahat ng mga videos ninyo sir (na-hook ako doon sa music). I suggest having a trip papuntang Monasterio de Tarlac. Thanks! :D
haven't herad of that.. saan yun? ma check nga :-) thanks sa tip!
dmitrivalencia
Sir, nasa San Jose, Tarlac po ang Monasterio. We went there nung Holy Thursday, nasa taas po siya ng bundok (Mt. Resurrection). Pwede siyang puntahan from Capas or Tarlac City. DM ko po kayo for the maps.
dmitrivalencia PM'd you sir sa FB fanpage. Thanks! :)
thumbs up! thank you for uploading, sir! :)

Will be going here in April 2016 for my girlfriends birthday from UK. I loved this route 2 years ago and miss the views. I am hopping this time we can stop off at a couple of places on the way up like the lions head and maybe some waterfalls. Very very pretty. And thanks for sharing this great video. BTW wouldn't like to be biking up that like them cyclists hehe. :-)

Hi again saw this on a random Baguio search. I remember you from my Pasig River ferry video 7 years ago! Enjoying this video including the music...going up very soon but sadly we are not taking Kennon so I must just show the kid your video instead. I got my dad's "sakit" of shooting roads endlessly but mine are nowhere near the quality of yours. Mostly unplanned (Check out my short Nuvali blvd one). Over the holidays I took the SCTEX for the first time and also felt so awed by the beauty of the mountain range, especially as it was a glorious golden 4:30pm! Even saw a bird of prey. I did record part of the road via my old camera but had to stop as I had to do the driving. So it's nothing I can upload.
jkhvo thank you for watching! Safe journey to your Baguio Trip sir!
Thanks! We did go via Kennon...and the TPLEX was a breeze :-) By the way I am female hehe. My husband enjoyed your videos too.
jkhvo I am sorry mam! :-) How was the cold weather?
dmitrivalencia nice very cold. Traffic up there was jammed! But somehow we still got to the places we wanted to reach at the exact times we planned. Crawling an hour up to Good Shepherd was insane. A good thing was we got to eat really good food at the places we wanted, due to reservations and also walking in early. But unless you can confine yourself to stay within the BGC, or a secluded pine tree forest in Camp John Hay, Baguio is in my opinion...now sad, ugly and gray. Not the same as the 1970s or even the 1990s. We arrived home in Laguna to news of pine trees having been cut over at SM. Terrible. Sorry!
jkhvo I agree with what you said... commercialization and modernization ruins a place and Baguio is a victim, next is Tagaytay :-(
No, it is not beautiful. It is very very very beautiful and breathtaking. Being a senior citizen, I enjoy it in my seat at home.
And respect to the bikers.
And funny, the google maps suggestion of 25 min time to drive the street.
+OpaSpielt thank you for watching sir :-)
thank u sir..para na din akong pmunta ng baguio...
Nice sounds sir! :)
Salamat sa video sir may idea na ako sa aahunin namen
Cavite - baguio
Bike all the way
Mag bike kayo? Wow ingat!!!
I love your videos
nakangiti ako dahil sa sounds ;)
Everything about this video makes me miss home... Thanks for this great video.. I enjoyed it.....
Marian Todagen thank you for watching! :-)
Wow finally at 25:54 you overtook that Mitsubishi. Nice video.
+reynald bonilla ah ! hahaha. i have no intention of overtaking the car in front of me hehehe thanks for watching :-)
dmitrivalencia at first i thought its part of your entourage. you have a nice collection of videos and they are enjoyable to watch. keep them coming and thanks for sharing..
you must be going 90 kph. feels like I am the one driving, safe tracking
Ganda ng north lalo na sa baguio
Kennon Road = fastest road
Marcos Highway = safest road
Nagilian = longest road
sir mga ilang oras diffrence byahe sa kennon vs Marcos highway?
isnhart ty
isnhart If you are Coming From the North Naguilan is Much Easier Of Course. 😯
isnhart i
2x a week I am passing kennon road for during 2015
That feeling when you get used to trail the same vehicle for a long journey, then afterwards they gonna make a turn and leaves you alone in your route.. That's saddening bro :( 😂
Jay Bumagat Ramdam ko yan sir kahit madalas angkas lang ako. Hehe
Jay Bumagat hahahahah, very true, its like leaving a buddy behind. So sad.
Jay Bumagat hahaha this is so true
Jay Bumagat mn⛪🏛
25:53
I also used outrun 2 songs
But beach buggy racing 2
And the most awesome thing in benguet is 2:03 Welcome arch
Looks good Dimitri. Was just there but didn't get to go to Baguio. We went from Binalonan, Pangasinan to San Juan, La Union Beaches. Long drive, wish my brother in law drives as fast you. Lol. They are super ingat over there in the Philippines. My average speed when I drive in California freeway is 75mph and up to 90mph for long drive like going to LA or Vegas.
Mario De Vera thanks for watching sir :-) the video fps was adjusted so it looks like the driving was fast. As the same with the other videos hehehehe
dmitrivalencia You're right, I wish travel in the Philippines was as fast as your video. Lol. The TPLEX and other expressways are major improvements to speed up travel btw.
Oh my sorry, just saw now mga Phils road trips pala ang channel mo. Nice! Will view more. Boat rides too?
jkhvo boat rides? hahaha! :-)
I miss, going to baguio i only remember when i was kid.
