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.

Baguio Art Scene. Artists' haven.

What happens when 4 retired artists meet? Yup, drink a couple of beers maybe but I doubt if they talked about their grandchildren though. That happened in 1988 and now Baguio is known as the "Asian Arts Hub" and art capital of the Philippines.

Baguio City Hall. The original government building.

Baguio City Hall to become a museum? It's already recognized as a heritage building and part of the Creative Cities Network of UNESCO. If plans push through, it will showcase local masterpieces and crafts... ... and our local servants in action. Yeah, right.

Farmer's Daughter. Ibaloi cuisine.

Ok, you go to Baguio for the cool weather and maybe to discover what the city is all about. And then you get hungry and eat in McDonald's. Something's missing here. Have you ever tried native Baguio cuisine?

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.
