Dangerous highway in the Philippines - vpro Metropolis 2014

- The Halsema Highway is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. Big stones tumble from the peaks onto the road. And along with the cloud forest comes mist that complicates Halsema Highways already dangerous conditions. No picnic for driver Dennis.
vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.

Update: sagada has 2 lanes now and it is cemented. It even has a alternate road which is also 2 lanes. The only problem are a little sinking portions or the occasional lands slides during rainy season.
Thank you for the update!
One of the best and trusted drivers.
Seems like a dated footage. I frequent the place as a University researcher way back 2010 - 2012. I've ridden those GL buses and the Rising Sun buses and I can attest that Halsema doesn't look like this, all roads were already paved.
The road can be challenging and deadly,its also mysterious you can't predict what's waiting on the next corner,the views are breathtaking and pushes you to keep going. I love Halsema - Bontoc Highway.
The Halsema highway alone is good and safe two lane, cemented and it's a national road kaya maayus, yung mga ibang shots dto is mga 1990's pa yata, safe for those disciplined drivers, poor visibility Nga lang for some area pag foggy but not all
pati na rin ung bus parang 90's pa hehehe
I live in this area and drive these roads a lot. This is largely BS. Most of the footage wasn't even shot on the Halsema Highway, but on the branch road going to Sagada. The Halsema itself is almost entirely 2-lane cement now. A lot of the translations are wrong as well. He didn't say a bus full of wedding guests crashed, he said an ELF (private truck) crashed. They also missed the bit where he says if you run over a dog at least you can pick it up and eat it. All in all I rate the Halsema as less dangerous than many lowland Philippine roads: there are natural hazards but the real hazards in driving are the other vehicles, and the drivers on the Halsema are generally more capable and considerate than what you find elsewhere in the country.
Steven Rogers Hi, glad to hear that you live there. I am planning a motorcycle trip from Makati to Sagada this May 2015 with my brother uncle and dad, you say Halsema is paved which is good, but is the fork going to Sagada also paved at this point? We are pretty experienced riders but if the road to Sagada isn't paved, it's a no go since our bikes are superbikes not multipurpose bikes. I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Marco afzelius There are a few unpaved sections on the road up to Sagada, with work ongoing. They are short but in a few places they can be rutted and muddy, especially if it's been raining. People do come up on big bikes, though.
Thank you
Steven Rogers Is a brave man
The real hazards are the half assed drivers who ply these roads. We know very well you can bribe your way into obtaining your drivers license in that part of the world. Some roads they showed are like the back roads.. I've worked in the area in the late 70s but most of the roads are decent and passable. And recently visited the country and pleasantly surprised about the condition of the roads, two lane and paved, cement or asphalt.
published 2014 but the vedio seems 1990's
I experience the trip in zigzag road in Atimonan Quezon province, road to Baler Aurora, Dalton pass in Santa Fe, Kennon road to Baguio, Marcos highway, Naguillian road, road from Pagudpod Ilokos Norte to Cagayan valley, so really dangerous 👊🏻but the Hanselma highway road to Sagada THIS is my opinion 👍🏻That is the most DANGEROUS ROAD IN THE PHILIPPINES
in 2012 I drove this road in a normal "hired car", what's all the fuss about. fabulous road to drive and the scenery is spectacular !!!
skyspy lucky for you you didnt hit by the landslide or rocks thats the fuse
This is the old Halsema Highway.not the newer one
Wrong translations.
Successfully drove this road from Cavite to Sagada and back a great experience on my part... cheers!
Thank you for sharing! Was it super scary?
BAGUIO CITY 😘 😍
Masiyado dilikado sa ganiyan daan di ako pupunta diyan kasi baka malaglag ako sa bangin so scary
Old video! 1990s.
Now it’s cemented and wider
Wrong Translation 😢 😭
Why the last part is not translated very well? Only pinoys would understand. 😂
Grabe Naman Yan
0o ah. nu aso d maatalan piditen ta ipulutan.hehe
E dinawis j
No such thing as dangerous hi-way. Only dangerous reckless driver.
Bahia city
Kakatakot
Bakit kaya ayaw nila gawin na road yan
road widening maybe? parang kenon road lang ng baguio city kapag umuulan ng malakas mejo delikado na..
Kinakausap mo yung driver nawawala pa sa diskarte yan
ang tunay na dahilan pangit ang daan.
