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.

Arko Ni Apo. Ben-Hur Villanueva Art Gallery.

Art gallery and workshop of an acclaimed sculptor that made Baguio his home. Also has a quirky cafe that has no menu, broken utensils and a wobbly table. Ow, come on.. This is Baguio.. UNESCO Creative City, remember?

More creatives..

Baguio City Hall. The original government building.

Baguio City Hall to become a museum? It's already recognized as a heritage building and part of the Creative Cities Network of UNESCO. If plans push through, it will showcase local masterpieces and crafts... ... and our local servants in action. Yeah, right.

More walks..

Baguio Craft Brewery. Homegrown brew.

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.
