Baguio stories

With this lockdown, nature is taking a rest. Skies are brighter. Rivers crystal clear. No garbage in Burnham. Soon we'll enjoy these things. And be more circumspect next time. Love nature and it'll love you back.

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.

The White House.

I live near this house. One time passing by, I met a group of tourists taking selfies. Me: "Bakit daw ba haunted house ito?" Tourists : "Kasi may white lady daw nagpapakita." Me: "White lady?" Tourists : "Opo, kasi white house nga." Okay. Now the legend has another twist.

50’s Diner. Typical American.

My first favorite Baguio resto. Until I discovered Good Taste. And then Teahouse. Luisa's. Vizco's. Slaughterhouse. Etc. Every week. "Sarap ng buhay, Sana ganito nalang lagi ha?" Until a virus came and they all closed down. Bummer.

The Baguio builder.

Forbes Park. The premiere gated community. Enclave of the Philippine elite. Where Gretchen Barreto hides from all controversies.. where some of us wish we were during the lockdown. Guess who it was named after. Tip: He was also known as the builder of Baguio.
