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.

Oh My Gulay. Art exhibit with a veggie resto.

Baguio is a known artist haven. One known artist pioneered mixing art and cuisine. Amazing combination. But as the name implies, it's strictly veggie dining. Yup, no burgers or chicken nuggets on the horizon.

Strawberry Fields. Pick. Eat. Repeat.

Strawberries. Baguio's famous for this fruit. But it's not actually grown there. Farmed nearby and you can even pick it up yourself!

Kung Jeon Korean Palace. Korean Buffet.

Originally targeted the growing Korean ESL students in Baguio. Did not imagine tourists and locals love a good deal when they see one.. or tasted one. Nowadays a famous Korean resto where you can rent a Hanbok (traditional Korean costume) with backdrop to have your pictures taken.

The Baguio Planner.

Baguio was originally designed for 30,000 people. Now, it has almost half a million with more than a million more when tourists arrive. Do the math. Guess we need another Burnham. Nope, not the park.
