Celebrate the month of hearts in Baguio

by semper.max

February is the coldest month as far as Philippine weather is concerned. This is also the month for the Flower or Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City. This is the best time to travel to Baguio as almost every nook and corner of Baguio is adorned by flowers and flower arrangements. Flowers are in full bloom during the month of February.The PMA annual homecoming also falls on February and surely, the PMA grounds will be buzzing with activities. People flock to see the silent drill of the cadets and also the highly awaited dance routine at the end of the drill.The monh-long Panagbenga and the PMA Alumni Homecoming are two events in February that should make Baguio a top destination for the month.

Link Up w/ Fellow VT'ers

by cyndymc

The annual Panagbenga Festival is one event that shouldn't be missed. The festive atmosphere is contagious; everyone is in high spirits. Although the maddening crowd is not for everyone, Panagbenga remains to be a much awaited event. What made my recent Baguio trip memorable was when I met some VT'ers. I was so touched when Barbie (aka barbie_sunrise) emailed me a day before our trip to invite me to a VT meet. Unfortunately, my husband had already made prior schedules for us so I told Barbie I wasn't sure to come, but would try my best.After our photo shoot at Harrison Road, Barbie approached me at the photographers' stage and introduced herself and Anna. Though it was a brief encounter, I was very happy to have met fellow VT'ers.

Asin Hotspring

by lasinen

Hi there! 1. If you will be staying at that hotel which you mentioned earlier, it'll probably take 25-30 minutes more or less to get to Asin Hotspring. 2. As of the moment, you can choose between Riverview and Palmgrove for your swimming spot. Riverview comes first, and a few meters away is Palmgrove. As far as i remember Palmgrove opens around 8:30, and so with Riverview. 3. Asin Hot spring is not in Baguio City, it's a part of Benguet. I don't know any other place in Baguio that has hotspring.4. Hmm..i cannot say it's a "village" but anyhow, the woodcarving area is in Asin Rd. which is still a part of Baguio and you'll be passing bye that place on your way to Asin Hotspring. Don't worry, coz these carvers are very visible to your eyes on your way there. 5. Taxi? i don't think taxi drivers would agree to being metered since they will be at the losing end. I think there's a standard...

Flowers!!! Panagbenga Flower Float Parade!!!

by mtorres1681

The Panagbenga Flower Festival!!! The Panagbenga Flower Festival, which is celebrated every fourth week of February, showcases the best Baguio City has to offer. Large colorful floats embedded with flowers are paraded throughout the city streets, along with street dancing and a week-long celebration. I highly recommend this festival to everyone who loves flowers, flowers, and lots of flowers!!!!

The cool and refreshing atmosphere of Baguio, view of mountains and pine trees, rich cultural heritage and traditions,the ultimate get away place. Still Baguio is the perfect mountain paradise in the midst of the unique pine breeze and of course you will find vegetables that are truly fresh and crispy,not to forget strawberries,ube jams etc...good place to play Airsoft.

Passing time In Burnham Park

by monina_c

Where can one pass the time while waiting for the bus back to Manila? What if one's already had a surfeit of shopping and eating and just want to be?Well, Burnham Park is a good option. One can just sit down on the grass and people-watch or just read the paper to catch up on the news. Burnham park also affords one to rest without spending a single centavo.

Disappointed in Baguio

by chuksingh

where do i post the opposite of the title....i stopped in Baguio to change buses from Sagada on the way to Manila. I was leaving open the option to stay in Baguio for a nite at least. Upon reaching the city i decided against staying, and leaving asap! The city was dirty and polluted...there was traffic that reminded me of Manila.... definitely a disappointment on first impression...i understand that there is probably some nice points to Baguio that i didn't see, but i think the ppl of Baguio should be more concerned about their city image....if i want pollution and crowds i will live in Manila... Leaving!!!!

I remember this!!!

by acemj

My dad passed away in 1998, but I'll always remember him as a joyful person. He loved to play! This is one of the first memories that I have. It was at the John Hay Air Force Base and we were visiting our friends, the Sutfan's who were working here. Their kids were about 10 years older than me, but we had a great time picnicking here at the base. Some of us (not me, I was a chicken) rode horses and we took some hikes, but what I truly remember is rolling down this hill with my dad and laughing and laughing and laughing . . .
