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.

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!

Tha Mansion. Summer palace of the Guv'nor.

The Mansion was built at the "insistence" of then Governor-General William Cameron Forbes so he could have a cool mountain retreat from the hot Manila weather. He even named it after his summer cottage in New England. Spoiled guy.

Chaya Restaurant. Japanese hangout.

The family that owned Baguio.

Did you know that there is a family of indigenous natives that once owned Baguio? Nope, I don't think they're related to the Villars.
