The spectacle of the wondrous Baguio City

-
Baguio City has indeed created its strong reputation as a tourist spot that relaxes everyone especially those from the scorching Manila. Located at the north of Metro Manila, this cool place was marked as the "summer capital" of the Philippines not only for the Filipino families but also for the tourists from other countries. What most people wants to this place is its cleanliness and of course its climate.
Landscape view of Baguio City
Baguio city can be reached by a 6-hour ride from Manila via bus. This city is famous for its climate because it is situated above the mountain of Cordilleras. Lining the highway going to the city proper, travelers are welcomed by the Pine trees swaying together because of the freezing wind present in the city. You can travel around the city via taxi or public jeepneys. There are a lot of inns and hotels that you can find in the city proper where you can stay at a lower price - you can avail it from Php500 up to Php5,000 per night. With these prices, you can enjoy the perks of the wonderful Baguio City. A trip to Baguio city won't also be complete without trying the best restaurants in town! Many restaurants, bars, and cafes are built where you can experience different cuisines served and specialized by the people of Baguio City.

Sweets for sale as "pasalubong"
If you're up for an early morning jog with an outstanding refreshing view, Teacher's camp is a perfect place for your needs. It is one of the best places to see the spectacular city of Baguio. You can also buy some pasalubong downtown in the public market. You can either choose from keychains up to the specialties of Baguio, the strawberries and the popular "sundot kulangot" which is made from calamay. Don't get me wrong, but Baguio is also known as the "ukay-ukay (thrift shop)" capital of the Philippines where you can enjoy and buy affordable 2nd hand but well-conditioned and beautiful clothes.

Boats for rent in Burnham park
Off to the city of Baguio can be found many beautifully structured parks to enjoy the view of the mountains of Baguio. If you choose to enjoy a boat ride for an affordable price, you can go to the Burnham park where you can row a boat, have a picnic with your family, ride a bike, watch football game, and even attend outdoor events. It is an ideal place to take photographs with your own cameras and if you don't have it, you can hire photographers roaming around the park.

Burnham park
If you want to see a clearer view of the wonders of Baguio, it is recommended to visit the famous Mines View Park which is one of the city's main attractions. This regenerating park is already outstanding  to look at with the diverse number of Pine trees and other greenery, horseback riding, the Mansion and the popular stone-covered stairways near the parking area. There, you can rent a binocular for you to add the excitement to see the mountains. Like in Burnham park, you can enjoy taking photos in there either using your own cameras or by hiring photographers wandering around.

These are just some of the wonders which I was able to discover during my 4-day visit in Baguio City. There are still destinations worth visiting in this place that made me surely come back again and stay longer!

 Here are other photos that I took featuring the wonders of Baguio city.

“...tayo na sa isang matuwid na daan”             This was the famous line of the newly elected President of the Republic of the Philippines Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III or Noynoy as known by many that gave people hope and courage to rise after the Arroyo regime threw the Filipino nation into dump. Just about after being hailed as the new leader, Noynoy’s promises were uttered one-by-one to the whole nation as strong point for the progress that the country ought to have and so, expectation arouse to each citizen of the Philippines. But after a year of presidency, did Aquino change the status of the nation?

Ready for the rainy season

Seems like it was only yesterday when summer was up. Now, trees are filled with new leaves and became even more greener because of the rain and that's why I decided to buy clothes and other stuff to get myself ready! See, you have to start loving thrift shops because if you're out of budget, you can get second-hand but fine-looking clothes from thrift shops! Meet my new babies. I got them from thrift shop for only Php40/each. I'm starting to love sweatshirts because they are the best for the rainy season.

I've been to Sagada twice and I will be visiting again soon. My first trip was under a tour package where I joined a group of couples. Yes, I was alone. I know. And the second one was a DIY tour and I brought my friends with me. I must say, Sagada is, by far, my favorite domestic tourist spot and I would highly recommend you take a tour yourself to know more about this wonderful place in the North. You can find a lot of travel agencies offering a Sagada tour package but if you want to take your adventure to a next level, I would highly recommend that you do a DIY visit so you can control your time, funds, and customize your own Sagada attractions trip. Quick brief about Sagada Sagada is a small town in the Cordillera Mountains and is full of wonders - nature and history. It is approximately 391.5 km away from the scorching Manila and is approximately 5000 ft above the sea level, and you would literally be able to reach the clouds. Temperature reaches as cold as 12 degree...
