Revisiting Little Baguio in Real, Quezon

Its #cold up there in #LittleBaguio, Real Quezon

                Pine Trees at Llavac Real at Marcos Highway

I went up again to Little Baguio in Llavac, Real Quezon yesterday.  I commandeered the the DMax of a sister company to go there.  It took us  1 hour to cover 50 km from Morong Rizal.  So it is indeed near.

We rode up to the Sampaloc intersection (where there is the Shell station) turned left and travelled about 15 to Sampaloc crossing and Marcos highway.  From there it was another 35 km of smooth well paved roads (except at km 87).  Utility poles (concrete) were being set up from km 87 to 89.  There were wooden poles and water at km 88 to 89.  That was the target site where land was shown to us for acquisition.

Welcome to Cool and Cold #Real #LittleBaguio

Sitio Little Baguio in Real Quezon

It is foggy and cold up there


The above are all old posts and articles  When I acquire a new camera, let us show the wondeful new places in this Little Baguio and you too may fall in love. and buy a property. (Wait for me to finish a deal.)

My neighbor, an ex Seaman  (a Tercero - engine man) has been making :"kulit" regarding his proposed purchase of real property in Real Quezon along Marcos highway.  When the Marcos highway was just macadam and the lots were only P30.00 per square meter along the highway (my neighbor bought his interior lots at P50.00 or even less).  I did not bother to look nor join the tripping because it is difficult to maintain a far away property.  I did though visit these places in 4x4 adventures and I experienced it was cold in these areas at this mid part of the Sierra Madre:  foggy, cold and changing weather.  Lately, I heard some of my bikemakes riders ride up this place.

Several weeks ago, I joined an engineer friend who was asking for advice on a a memorial park and I discussed this with him and he said that from his place in Infanta (he is from the place) this is still a one hour drive and it is in some of the steep portion of  Real Quezon.  I must have biked no less than 4 times to Real Quezon and the latest was 2 weeks ago (when I joined Ed Valdez up to Llavac)

And so I joined this neighbor Chito H who all ready owns some 12 hectares in the area (he must have saved a lot of money when he was seaman.)  And so we went via his Tamaraw FX in the afternoon of Friday, December 26, 2014 right after Christmas.  In Tanay, we were joined by his partner, fmr Barangay Captain Nardo in going to little Baguio in Real Quezon.   So went right to Sampaloc and our first stop near the Philippine Army Jungle base.  I was shown a 5 hectare property near the Napocor towers at P250.00 and a 24 hectare property nearby at P300.00.  Was not very interested since there was this negative thing about being near a Napocor tower carrying  120,000 volts. through its 6 sets of wires (x 4)  24 pcs in all, each one carrying 11,000 volts.

After one hour after passsing through an area called Saksak, we arrived at Sitio Mapalad, Barrio Llavac, Real Quezon.  Km 89.  Our FX went down to the slippery road not to because it was raining and I was afraid that the vehicle, having a weak axle and with no 4x4 system could not ascend. We first went to their  property
