Baguio City Adventures: Loakan Road and PMA

I spent the whole Christmas break in Baguio City… here’s an account of how I spent my days up there… :D

Dec 30: Loakan Road

I wasn’t able to take pics of this route during the last Milo Half-Marathon so I decided to run this route this day as part of my run…

12302008843- starting point – the Baguio City Hall -

12302008844- trees, trees, trees! -

123020088561230200887612302008853- some areas didn’t have sidewalks so ran on top of these barricades -

The Milo route just passes by the Philippine Military Academy, the training academy of future officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, but since I was already within the area… I decided to take a peek inside…

12302008888- entrance to the Philippine Military Academy (Fort del Pilar) -

12302008889- only place in Baguio with a sign such as this -

123020088911- the hero of Tirad Pass, Gregorio del Pilar -

12302008890- well-maintained roads -

12302008910- a “museum” of old WWII war machines -

123020089001230200890412302008907- those gears are HUGE! -

12302008919- HQ -

    Im always on this road whenever im in Baguio for a client since they’re located in the BEPZ in Loakan. I’ve always admired this road for the “course” that is even in a car. Would sure love to test my legs the next time around…

    why not try it out when you’re there next… then race it during the milo half :D
