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.

Arko Ni Apo. Ben-Hur Villanueva Art Gallery.

Art gallery and workshop of an acclaimed sculptor that made Baguio his home. Also has a quirky cafe that has no menu, broken utensils and a wobbly table. Ow, come on.. This is Baguio.. UNESCO Creative City, remember?

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.

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.

A Benguet honey story. From gold to bees.

Baguio is known as a major producer of veggies, strawberries and flowers. But this wouldn't be possible without one flying insect. Oh, in the process of pollinating plants they also produce a super food that never spoils!
