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.

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?

Asin Hot Springs. Hot enough to boil an egg?

Tourists go to Baguio for the cool weather. Baguio folks go here for a hot dip.

Tea House. Baguio party kitchen.

Having a party? Baguio folks go straight to Teahouse. Why cook when you can buy it cheap and ready to go. No hassle. Better go there early during weekends and holidays. Long line. Get a number and wait.

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.
