Bontoc as I experienced

Bontoc is a good place to go. Mountains are all over the place. Many hotels and restaurants are established for comfort and convenince of all tourists visiting the place.

THE CHICO RIVER- SHOTS

The Chico River

THE CHICO RIVER- SHOTS
This is the Chico River, the Longest river in the Philippines. This has been very controversial way back during the Marcos Regime, when a Hydroelectric Complex was going to be put up. This consisted of 5 big Dams. The problem was that there were no clear government plans whatsoever for the people living on the banks way back then. Many Igorots would be displaced. The Chico river between Samoki and Bontoc... below Lok-ong... The Cement structure is a Flood Control wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Pollution free, cheap goods and food, and a lot of tourist spots to go
Cons:rugged roads and far places
In a nutshell:An ideal place to live in!
