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.

Heritage Mansion. Old grand mansion in Baguio.

A grand Baguio heritage structure that survived WWII and the 1990 earthquake. Rebuilt into a hotel. Elegant. Colonial. Snobbishly extravagant. Oh, you can live there for a while. Longer with a platinum card. Maitre D: "How do you like your steak, sir? Rare or medium well?" You : "Expensive."

Go into a food adventure. Eat where the city taxi drivers have their culinary feast. Even Gordon Ramsey will freak out when he sees this place. Master Chef my foot!
