Speak in English rather than Tagalog
by joiwatani
Most Igorots and residents originally from Baguio City rarely speak in Tagalog. Most older Igorots speak and understand English better than the national language because of the influence of the Americans.
Short cut to Session Rd is the Cathedral stairway
by joiwatani
When you are in the city, it's really difficult to find parking especially down Session Road or finding a parking space at the Maharlika Hall on Magsaysay Avenue.
If you brought your own vehicle, make sure to go and park at the Cathedral (there's also a bathroom there). Then, take the stairs on the left side of the Cathedral leading to Session Road. For those who have aching ankles or arthritis, this is not a way to go! The stairs are steep!
Just park your vehicle there if you intend to do shopping or eating out in Session Road. This way, you save the hassle of looking for parking.
Cemetery of Negativism
by bike_packer
From outside the fence, it looks like a cemetery for pets, but upon a closer look on the epitaphs by the supposed tombs with monuments, the Cemetery of Negativism is where negative attitude, bad experiences and anything that creates bad vibes are buried.
Amusing and funny on the play of words on the epitaphs.
Located inside Camp John Hay.
Great food at good prices
by trisanna about SM Food Court
The shopping center SM Baguio has some nice restaurants and a large food court. I highly recommend the Taste of Laoag, which serves north Luzon fare. If you can, try the Vigan Bibingka. It looks like a corn muffin in banana leaf. But it tastes a little sweet (like yellow cake), but has a salty and cheesy top. It sounds weird, but believe me -it's good. It's served warm. Other food stalls serve other Pilipino, Chinese and western fare.
