Roads in the Philippines
Aspiras–Palispis Highway (also known as Marcos Highway and the Agoo–Baguio Road) is a Philippine major highway in northern Luzon that runs from the city of Baguio to the municipality of Agoo in the province of La Union.
The 47.17-kilometre (29.31 mi) highway traverses the municipality of Tuba in Benguet, and the municipalities of Pugo, Tubao, and Agoo in La Union.
It is one of the three main roads used by motorists and travelers to access Baguio from the lowlands. The highway's several rehabilitation and development efforts led to the road's categorization as an "all-weather road", and is the preferred highway by motorists to use over the older Kennon Road.
The entire highway is designated as highway N208 of the Philippine highway network assigned by DPWH.
Marcos Highway was renamed into Aspiras–Palispis Highway on October 31, 2000 with the issuance of Republic Act 8971. The highway section covering Baguio City and Benguet province was designated as the Ben Palispis Highway in honor of former Benguet Governor Ben Palispis. The La Union section of Marcos Highway was named Jose D. Aspiras Highway after Filipino politician Jose D. Aspiras. However, the former name is considered by people to be more familiar and is still preferred by most.
