Kidlat Tahimik. Baguio Influential Artist # 2.
Eccentric guy that is a famous Baguio icon that set up Oh My Gulay and Ililikha restos. You'll never know but he is a Wharton MBA grad and a finance guy working in Paris in his younger days. And then one day he saw a movie camera and all bets are off..

Baguio Public Market. The final call.
First thing Anthony Bourdain does wherever he goes is to visit the market. Likes to experience the sights, the sounds, the excitement. Sadly, he never had the chance to visit Baguio market. He would have enjoyed it. Tourists do. But residents? Been there done that.
More walks..
Cafe Yagam. Authentic Cordillera coffee.
Cool-weather, strawberries, pine trees. What else is there that is native Baguio? Coffee? Where? JCo (too Manila). 7-11(too regular). Starbucks (God forbid!). You're in Baguio, for crying out loud! Go indigenous.

First bomb dropped in WWII was in Baguio.
Yup, the first bomb dropped during WWII was in Baguio. The last one too, when the Japanese fled to our city after being kicked out of Manila by the Americans.
