People here in Cebu, either North or South bound they already know the Balamban nature's view, the risky transcentral road, and experience the ethereal environment when the air temperature is down. It fogs a lot and a whole lot of coldness! Now, is it worth the experience or may cause a road accident?
Hello everyone! It's the best time to travel when the weather is good especially now that we experience hot temperature in our country. March to April brings so much hotness that it gone to 40°C. Yet, Balamban experienced it too but the air remains cold.
Balamban located is located at northwest of Cebu. It's best known for it's famous mountain, the Mt. Manunggal, where the former President of the Philippines Ramon Magsaysay and other crews were killed due to plane crush and why is it called Mt. Manunggal then? Because the Manunggal tree was the reason of the crush. It is visited by some hikers and other people who wish to witness the remains of the plane.
Agriculture is the source of income of the people here. Some of which is the root crops and vegetables.
Why we've crossed this road?
My husband lived in Sudlon 2 which belongs to the mountain barangay Cebu City. We chose to travel the other way bound because it's less traffic. When we arrived at Balamban transcentral road, the climate became extra cold and never know that the fog is already ahead of us. We stopped on the side of the road because it's zero visibility.
Somehow we're happy seeing the ethereal view from atop and somehow scared to risk ourselves from a foggy road. Even in the car seat, I can't even see what's ahead of us. It might be someone or a car or a collision ahead of us and might include in their trouble. It would be a big problem. It's just my advance thinking that the Lord won't let that happen to us.
Anyway, I never heard before about the accidents of the place because of fog instead due to car break or banking of motorcycles. In the road, we have to take extra cautious because we have family waiting for us to return. Just like a quote I saw on the road goes, A good driver is a sweet lover. Which is true.
The fog won't come out everyday, it came out when the air temperature is down, most especially it appears on high altitudes just like mountains. If you've been to Balamban TCH,you can see the mountain and if you look closer it has road anywhere. Yes, that's the road you'll be taking which means the road is very slope and high. You'll not feel it because of its gradual steep.
Even though the climate is like this, people will always travel just handle the situation. We saw some motorcycle riders in a group, car convoys, and others chilling on the restobars.
Now, is worth the experience despite of the foggy environment?
Well, yes! The fog adds beautiful view and as well the moment became more remembered. Its just that we have to be careful in driving to avoid any danger.
And that's it our foggy experience in Balamban hive friends! God bless and keep safe everyone!
