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.

Casa Vallejo. Oldest hotel in Baguio.

Aside from the Baguio Cathedral, this hotel one of THE oldest remaining structures that was built in the city. So, want to experience living in a century old hotel? Nope, I don't think they have ghosts there though. Maybe they got too old and retired somewhere.
