Baguio stories

A lot have been said about Baguio. But we'll dig a little deeper about the stories behind it. Like why the streets and parks have American names while Manila has Spanish ones.. why heritage houses and monasteries became haunted.. favorite restos of city folks. And then we start to appreciate the city more.

Tam-awan Village. The native village of the arts.

Hidden from the busy Session Road is the rich cultural heritage of Baguio. Nope, you don't have to go up Cordillera mountains to find it. It's just nearby. Calling you. "This is the real Baguio before the Americans came. Not Burnham Park."

Baguio Cathedral. The pink cathedral

With more than 80 million Catholics, the Philippines has the third-largest Catholic population in the world. No wonder most Baguio tourists flock to this famous pink cathedral. But why pink?

Vizco's. Baguio strawberries in a cake.

The perennial Baguio strawberries. It's grown in nearby Trinidad town actually. But what the heck, the city made it famous. Since the Trinidad Strawberry Festival is canceled, best way to get it is in this resto.

The Baguio Longanisa Story.

Longanisa is actually a common breakfast fare all over our country but tourists and even locals found our version better. Or is it really? No idea but in every Panagbenga (except this year, of course), long lines can be seen in our homegrown longanisa vendors.
