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.

I've travelled through the Halsema Highway so many times. I must say that the Cordilleran drivers of buses and jeepneys plying this road are the most disciplined, respectful and skillful.

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 👍👍👍

Very well produced. Loved every minute. Had to watch over two sittings. Gave us a humble glimpse into the daily lives of people here. God bless them all!

I'm a hiker, and Halsema Highway is a favorite ride always when I hike in the Cordillera Mountains.

The Camera works, the angles at which the GoPros are setup, the drone footage, the audio background, the story telling, simply amazing.. That is why i love this channel.. You guys are amazing..

This documentary is awesome! Mt. Province and Kalinga have been my home for a couple of months during my field work early this year. I am actually part Cordilleran from my mother's side, and I am proud! The ride is quite an adventure and the scenery is stunning! The Cordilleran people are amazing 🥰

I'm so impressed with those drivers and farmers. I remember riding those bus on those very dangerous roads for many years. Now that I look back, can't help not getting a chill in my spine. Driving in America sure spoils anyone including my self.

For me never mind the road, the scenery and the views is breathtaking

May this kind of documentation will make us Filipinos value a farmer's labor. What they're going through is so much hardwork and in also trading their goods. Thanks for documenting it. I am from the place.

The Halsema Highway was already cemented years ago. There are occaisional landslides during rainy season. Repairs and improvements are being done promptly and frequently. The road is as safe as it could be as long as the driver is used to traversing that highway. Halsema is not for the faint hearted drivers. A single miss on one way areas and sharp curves will land you meters below the ground.

I was born in Sagada and lived there for 12 years before I left. Remember those days when I rode on top of the jeepneys, it looks dangerous but it was fun😁😄😄😊 I still visit my hometown whenever I visit the Philippines

I am from this place. Halsema hi-way is much more better now from Sagada to Baguio it will take you 5 to 6 hours it depends on the weather during the travel. Thank you i appreciate those who make the doc.

I so love the Philippines and their wonderful people. I drove a similar road to visit the ancient rice paddies. The same families have been fuming there for a reported 2000 years. It was fantastic. Our route was out of Viscaya Norte.

@@chapsper They we’re beautiful. There was a cable car that spanned the valley but the operator was not there. 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.

Okay, you got me with the "emergency", it looked a little too real. But seriously, their work ethic is amazing to me. It actually makes me think about how blessed I am to live where I live. But there are lessons anybody can take away from this. One thing I noticed is that they actually know how to fix and maintain their vehicles, which allows them to stay in operation and make money.

From my point of view filipinos have a lot of potential and talent, and most are really hardworking as well, but the opportunities never come. most of the time it's because of financial issues, sometimes it's the lack of appreciation/support from the government. even our professionals are treated poorly with low wages and research for development were not given much importance so they leave the country to look for the opportunity they deserve

I Miss Philippines so much🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Watching the courage and determination of these bus and taxi drivers as they navigate the treacherous Halsema Highway through the Philippine jungle is truly awe-inspiring. It's a testament to their skill and resilience. Thank you for sharing this gripping documentary.

I feel ecstatic when passing the Halsema Highway despite its risk. I love it because of the majestic views of the mountains and I feel i'm high above the clouds.

This is so fascinating to see, although i'm a Filipino, my mom's a teacher and she teaches grade 1 in Tungkalan, Davao City; which is very far flung mountainous areas. She has been riding various vehicles where the road is a killer, it has a cliff on both sides of the roads, in native language it is called "pang pang" and it's very steep , God has bless her trips for almost 12 years there! And she still teaches students in there, children there are very well disciplined which she liked, but very poor. It has become so normal to her that it doesn't freak her anymore i wish you guys could see it!

Thanks for this documentary. It’s really a hardship for our local people to live through this dangerous situation. My heart and my thoughts are with them.But nature gives us a surprise beauty as you pass through this cordillera mountains.Amazing kababayan.
