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.

Baguio Art Scene. Artists' haven.

What happens when 4 retired artists meet? Yup, drink a couple of beers maybe but I doubt if they talked about their grandchildren though. That happened in 1988 and now Baguio is known as the "Asian Arts Hub" and art capital of the Philippines.

More creatives..

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.

More walks..

Luisa's. Old Baguio coffee shop.

One of the oldest resto in Baguio. Let's go back in time where Baguio old-timers sit for a coffee.. .. and talk about the latest news with siopao/mami combo on the side.

More eats...

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?
