In 2001 was conceived an international outreach to connect the Cordilleran Rice Terraces World Heritage sites to outside activities. Thus a study tour was encouraged to foster a linkage with the World heritage Centre and connect it to other WH cultural landscapes. The vine terrace landscape of Cinque Terre in Italy was chosen and recommended. In May of 2009, the Philippine delegation composed of Ambassador Preciosa S. Soliven of UNESCO, Arch. Ma. Joycelyn Mananghaya of the Committee on Culture of UNESCO, Ifugao Gov. Teodoro B. Baguilat Jr., Hungduan Mayor Pablo Cuyahon went to Italy to pursue the preliminary stage of the Twinning Programme with Cinque Terre.

Tublay- Kapangan road cut
Baguio City, Benguet. Some of the isolated municipal roads in Benguet were not given much attention after the onslaught of typhoon Pepeng. That is according to Mayor Roberto K. Canuto of Kapangan. The reason though he explained is because of the fact that the municipality was cut off from the rest of the province when their main access route which is the bridge located along Suyoc in Tublay fell off, leaving a very big and wide gap along the road. With the road cut, there was no way for heavy equipments to cross over to clear up the numerous road slides in Kapangan. The diversion road in Tuel, Tublay was not much of a reprieve also as it is mostly a very steep incline and can only accommodate one vehicle going one way. Another big hazard was the falling off of another bridge along Brgy. Balakbak. With these conditions it was a very hard time for the denizens of Kapangan (also of Kibungan) as they were literally cut off from food supplies, gas and all. The fact that the electricity was also only restored after 20 days made everything more difficult than it was. With everything in disarray, they even forgot to contact the media for help as their primary concern was the restoration of roads and access routes. Gov. Nestor Fongwan of Benguet had to airlift the necessary food and other supplies to Kapangan as it was the only way.
The highest point of the Philippine Highway System is 2,256.10 meters above seal level located along Halsema Highway particularly in Paoay, Atok, Benguet.
