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.

BenCab. Baguio Influential Artist # 1.

BenCab is a famous National Artist that retired in Baguio. During his elementary days, he made a few centavos doing his classmates’ drawing assignments. In high school, he drew portraits of James Dean and Elvis Presley and sold them to schoolmates for 10 pesos. Decades down the way at the peak of his career, his most expensive paintings sold for about a million dollars each. "Paint it and it will come."

Emilio F. Aguinaldo Museum. The General's personal stuff.

Did you know there is another Emilio Aguinaldo museum in Baguio? All the while, I thought it was in Cavite.

Slaughterhouse. Baguio taxi driver's food mecca.

Go into a food adventure. Eat where the city taxi drivers have their culinary feast. Even Gordon Ramsey will freak out when he sees this place. Master Chef my foot!

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.
