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."

Strawberry Fields. Pick. Eat. Repeat.
Strawberries. Baguio's famous for this fruit. But it's not actually grown there. Farmed nearby and you can even pick it up yourself!

Foggy Mountain. Awesome view.
Looking for a cool place tonight? Impress a date? Apologize to the Jowa? Go to second base (third maybe)? All of the above? Lucky you. Here it is.

The Baguio Longanisa Story.
Longanisa is actually a common breakfast fare all over our country but tourists and even locals found our version better. Or is it really? No idea but in every Panagbenga (except this year, of course), long lines can be seen in our homegrown longanisa vendors.
