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.

Cafe Sabel. Artsy. Cozy. Great view.

Just inside BenCab Museum. Easily mistaken for another gallery. Wondering, why are people dining on a piece of art?

Mount Costa. Good day for a walk.

There are places just outside the city worth seeing. One of this is a big outdoor living room with about a dozen gardens inspired by the world's best. Really, really big. Did I say that already?

The Barn. Rustic artisan setting.

With its awesome scenery and picturesque surrounding, strangers just kept showing up to enjoy it. So the owners decided to cash in and put up a resto.. .. so you have to order a meal to see the view.

First settlers of Baguio.

Before the foreigners came, Baguio was a peaceful place to live. Ibaloi families lived off the land with cattle and gold trading with people from the lowlands. Yup, gold was mined here centuries ago. Guess who got rich?
