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.

Cafe Sabel. Artsy. Cozy. Great view.

Just inside BenCab Museum. Easily mistaken for another gallery. Wondering, why are people dining on a piece of art?

The White House.

I live near this house. One time passing by, I met a group of tourists taking selfies. Me: "Bakit daw ba haunted house ito?" Tourists : "Kasi may white lady daw nagpapakita." Me: "White lady?" Tourists : "Opo, kasi white house nga." Okay. Now the legend has another twist.

Lemon and Olives. Authentic Greek, what else?

Don't know what to do today? Eating out is still OK, I hope. Try Greek then. Level up a little from that never-ending Baguio budget meals we eat since Good Taste started it.

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.
