Just came from one of my favorite places to drive through, it's that stretch of road from Tabangao to Ilijan in Batangas City. I've been coming to Ilijan each year for the last 5 years since the power plant there is a client of mine and each year, I get excited each time.
The road itself is not too impressive, there are spans of unpaved, dirt roads and a lot of uneven concrete sections running up through the mountains. What I love however, is the great view that it offers of the Batangas coast line while you're high up in the rolling terrain. The deep blue waters against the green islands underneath the powder blue sky. If only for this view, I would probably want to invest in an SLR.
Last year, I chanced upon the many development projects being undertaken in this particular community. There's a high end subdivision in the works, as well as some sort of resort. Fortunately it still isn't finished, otherwise it would have spoiled my drive. It has been some sort of tradition for me to stop along certain points along the road and just enjoy the cool breeze while staring at the azure, so you could imagine the hassle of not being able to do that because of vehicular traffic.
Well, waiting for the chance again next year to stopover at my favorite spots.
