I guess one of the good things about having bad roads is that drivers learn to be careful. And I must say that, for the most part, careful ang drivers sa Halsema although the Rising Sun Trans is now also known as the Rushing Sun because its drivers tend to drive fast which isn't good for passenger safety. Thanks. Hi Trublue,

Years ago, British Broadcasting Co. rated filipino drivers da best in the world. Didn't quite got the whole scope but from my recollection it was due to their no fear of driving our most dangerous or exciting hi-ways. In addition to that, da filipino drivers' knack for maneuvering a two-lane road which turns to four-lanes or maybe five by driving on the shoulders. Despite all these shenanigans, BBC was amazed of the very low rate of road accidents. Furthermore, most blame were centered on mechanical faults than our best drivers....<br/>Cheers.

Baka naman talaga totoo and not just a kuwentong bilyaran :-)<br/><br/>Hi Anonymous,<br/>Thanks for joining us. It is indeed nakakatuwa to have different opinions and yet eventually agree to disagree over these opinions. I'm with you in hoping that our leaders will focus on uplifting the lives of people in the region rather than just focusing on themselves and filling their own pockets. Thanks again :-)<br/><br/>Hi Trublue,<br/>Hehehe. Fear not, I will be friendly when you visit me in the lowlands.<br/><br/>Hi Wil,<br/>Thanks :-) Hi Pagano,
