It's Manila - Pampanga (via Mcarthur Hway) - Bataan-Subic Zambales - Alaminos - Urdaneta - Aritao Nueva Ecija, crossed the Baguio-Nueva Vizcaya Road passing Ambuklao Dam, then entering Baguio thru Ambuklao Road - Pacdal Circle - Leonard Wood. I was talking with this motorbike-rider yesterday and he described this Aritao-to-Baguio Road as all cemented highway. He was very happy driving on it; and I'm also very happy our new tracks (& road verification) :-) On quick search, it turned out to be the new shorter alternative road (possibly a new alternative 'trunk road' from the usual long Halsema Highway), linking Benguet to Nueva Vizcaya's Daang Maharlika Highway As of this writing, I'm in the process of retracing this road (over a fresher 1-sec gps tracklog) to improve road alignments & initially reclassifying it from Secondary to Primary. I'm tempted to make it a trunk :-) I don't know the official name yet: Baguio-Nueva Vizcaya Road, Baguio-Aritao Road, Baguio-Banaue Road. Which Which?
