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.

Museo Kordilyera. Indigenous culture.

Another museum? Yup, Baguio has lots. But this one's new and modern. A venue for research and exhibitions of the social life and culture of the Cordilleras. You know, cerebral stuff. What do you expect? It's inside UP Baguio. These guys think a lot aside from protesting something.. somewhere.

More creatives..

Ifugao Rice Terraces. UNESCO world heritage.

Older than the pyramids of Egypt, the combined length of the terraces is said to equal half the circumference of the earth. 8th wonder of the world. 8 hours from Baguio. Bus fare costs between PhP 380 to 480. 8 is a Chinese lucky number, you know. Ok, just saying.

More walks..

Baguio Craft Brewery. Homegrown brew.

The city is famous for indigenous coffee. But have you tried it's homegrown beer? Oops, liquor ban.. Watch it n lng ngarud..

More eats...
