Drive from Baguio to Manila got shorter

OMB


Jan 2, 2021

We used to travel for 8 to 10 hours to or from Baguio, With SCTEX it got shorter, then came TIPLEX.
Without having to go through the towns in Tarlac and Pangasinan, the drive got even shorter and faster.

As population multiplies, trees disappear.   I think every structure to be built must be required to plant xx number of pine trees.   Structures must not be allowed to occupy the whole expanse of the land.

There must be a ratio: Total floor area = XX number of pine trees to be planted in the property.

We’ve seen a lot of Ford vehicles going to Baguio, in Baguio, and leaving Baguio.  Thank you guys for buying Ford.  Thank you thank you thank you for buying from Ford EDSA in Greenhills,  MAKATI FORD in Pasong Tamo Avenue, and from Ford Cainta in Ortigas Avenue Extension.

Let’s call it Skyway 3, not Stage-3.   Stage 3 sounds like someone has cancer.
