A Series of Baguio Events – Episode 4
Second day in Baguio: waking up to my first Baguio morning for the weekend, and it’s freezing. Good thing I adjust easily to the cold; yesterday while the others were wearing layered clothes I was in t-shirt, shorts and sandals.
The sun provided much wanted warmth as we went through the tourist places: cathedral, botanical garden and Good Shepherd. Then it was ukay-ukay part one, because I’m pretty sure there’ll be another shopping trip before we leave.
This is part of the billboard in Good Shepherd promoting their Cordillera Youth Program.
He brings out the native pedophile in me.
Lunch was at a tourist-y Barrio Fiesta. Outside it is the Baguio Staircase, where originally it showcased giant wooden carvings of Igorots, the original dwellers of Baguio. But through the years they added other smaller wooden carvings of ordinary and not-so-ordinary Filipinos, including Cory Aquino & Cardinal Sin, a very relaxed Ninoy Aquino, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Fidel Ramos. What a weird idea.
