SM Baguio City

The first non air-conditioned mall in the Philippines- SM Baguio City. It is located in Luneta Hill on top of Session Road which has a great view of Baguio's Burnham Park. It contains various stores and shops plus souvenir stores that sell Baguio's delicacies and ethnic items.

The building has a roof that is transparent which illuminates the mall on a sunny day. It also has a verdana that has a great view of Baguio's landmarks. It is enveloped by nature, as pine trees and garden beautifully surround the building. A perfect place to buy the "pasalubongs" you want.

Ating Tahanan, Baguio City

Luckily, I was able to stay here for 2 days because all the friends of the groom of the wedding that i am about to attend are catered here. It was a privilege to stay in this comfortable parcel of scenic training center.

Ating Tahanan is a 5,182 square meter land currently owned by the GSP Central board which mainly functions as a campsite. The place currently has 2 Guest houses that can be rented for seminars, workshops, meetings and retreats. The rooms are well refurbished and contains furniture and kitchen utensils that you can utilize in your stay. The log houses also has breathtaking view unto the mountain slopes of Baguio. Pine trees and garden delights also surround the place... Definitely a MUST-VISIT landmark of Baguio City!

Camp John Hay- Baguio City

I had the most wonderful Baguio experience because of the wedding I have attended held in Camp John Hay which is a very luxurious place that made Baguio, BAGUIO.

Camp John Hay, also known as "Little America" is located in the South Eastern Side of Baguio. Currently privately owned, some of the original structures in this 690-hectare land were replaced. Despite this, the place remained to have that charm and majestic appeal to any visitor. It is the most popular attraction in the Summer City Capital of the Philippines. A picturesque place that contains the world class golf course designed by Jack Niclaus which continuously caters the annual Fil-Am Golf Tournament.

This has long been a recreational area for American soldiers during WWII. Original structures of the old park are still maintained and operating- 19th Tee, Halfway House, Mile-Hi, Lone Star, Main Club, the Scout Hill Snack Bar and the Bakery. The private owner made revisions and renovations on some old structures. The Camp John Hay Manor for instance replaced the old Main Club. A Convention Center,Shopping center, lodges, hotels and town houses were also added in the place.

You can still visit some structures for free in this park as the Phil. Government retained some portion of the property- Commander's Cottage, Bell Ampitheater, and the Butterfly Sanctuary.

Bell Amphitheater

The wedding I have attended was held in the Bell Amphitheater of this park. The moment became very romantic as the bride walk down the aisle maximizing the garden stairs going to the center of the amphitheater. I got the chance to walk that wonderful aisle too. Then as we sat down for the ceremony, I glance around and saw the astonishing escalation of garden that surrounds the center dome. When the night was approaching, the coolness of Baguio started freezing me. Too bad I was with spaghetti straps and have not brought covering with me. LOL. I can remember how I made use of the table cloth to save me from further freezing...

The best part of the wedding was when we made air balloon lanterns and freed all of them to the air... It was just sooo amazing seeing the beauty of the night of Baguio in its best place at the best moment... =D Well Wishes!!

Baguio Botanical Garden

A grandeur entrance flocked by a couple of natives in their Igorot clothing is the one of the noticeable attribute of Baguio Botanical Garden. This is a huge park which is about as big as the Burnham Park open for all for free. This park is also known as the Igorot Village which replicates the usual pacified and serene village of Baguio's native residents. The ground is filled with pine trees and a number of Igorot huts where you can spend time chilling. You can also see plants that are for sale inside.

Upon entering, a huge creative artwork welcomes you. You can also see around Igorots that you may hire to post with you in your photographs. Each person's fee is 10.00.

BTW, Just watch out because they usually join in your photo shoot as a bunch without permission and then pester you to pay them. One of the great attraction inside is the huge Igorot statue, though you have to walk for quite a distance in order to reach it. I did not see it because my sister was pursuing to go home.
