Baguio stories

With this lockdown, nature is taking a rest. Skies are brighter. Rivers crystal clear. No garbage in Burnham. Soon we'll enjoy these things. And be more circumspect next time. Love nature and it'll love you back.

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.

Burnham who?

Burnham Park is a major icon of Baguio. Ever wonder who it was named after? He originally designed Baguio for 30,000 people. Now, it has almost half a million with a million more when tourists arrive. Do the math. Guess we need another Burnham. Nope, not the park.

Mother’s Garden and Cafe. Nature and cuisine.

Where nature, culture and fine dining meet. Just a few minutes from town is a secluded resto where you can relax, converge with nature and enjoy good cuisine.

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!
