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?

Baguio Cathedral. The pink cathedral

With more than 80 million Catholics, the Philippines has the third-largest Catholic population in the world. No wonder most Baguio tourists flock to this famous pink cathedral. But why pink?

Benguet Veggies. Planting since the 1900s.

To have a steady supply for their beloved salad, our American overlords encouraged the planting of vegetables and strawberries to the natives of Benguet. With the fertile soil and favorable climate, our native farmers became so good at it that eventually they were supplying up to 80% of the country's vegetable needs!
