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.

Ili-Likha Artist Village. Art under construction.

Remember Kidlat Tahimik of Oh My Gulay? He founded another artist village cum resto that provides inspiration for Baguio artists and environmental advocates. Food's good, too!

Diplomat Hotel. Baguio haunting.

Want to have an unforgettable evening? Bring your date to this spooky place at night. And tell this story. Slowly. In the end, look behind you and say "What was that?!?". Oh, don't forget to wear a whiff of cologne. Your date will jump up and get close. Real close.

The Barn. Rustic artisan setting.

With its awesome scenery and picturesque surrounding, strangers just kept showing up to enjoy it. So the owners decided to cash in and put up a resto.. .. so you have to order a meal to see the view.
