On September 1, 1909 Baguio was incorporated as a city by the Philippine Assembly.
Above is the original masterplan of Daniel Burnham for the City of Baguio; thus was born the City of Pines and one of the finest Summer Capitols in the world. Though it was originally founded on the site of a Ibalois settlement. It really was originally conceived to be a city of leisure and beauty. The plans tried to use the gorgeous geography of the area to best benefit.
It is sad how far Baguio has fallen; even compared to the 1980s. It can be, it should be, one of the premier rest destinations in the country, and even the region. It lends itself to that. But with the coming of major enterprise, small business that used to lend so much charm to the city have been driven out. The older homes, built during the early American era, are being lost; homes that bring charm and a uniqueness to the city. Those homes should be preserved, just as the indigenous culture and the city’s ecology must be as well. The City has to be involved; they need to take their cues from other cities (such as Iloilo City or Cebu City) which have created heritage zones to preserve their built heritage.
I remember the Baguio of my childhood (which was not too long ago); it was beautiful and fresh and even clean. There was a vibrancy to it that has been lost, I fear. The city itself feels too much like any other big city; just with the added complication of hills. Instead of Baguio being a walking city, as originally envisioned (much like San Francisco), it has become a morass of gridlocked vehicles, stuck at odd angles throughout the city. Hills covered in lush greenery are now covered in rusting corrugated roofing.
Though there still is hope for a renewal; the city has to be lead. SM killed off Session road, but the nostalgia still remains. The city has to work with its art and culture communities to bring back Session Road, to reinvigorate the artistic side of the city. That could very well the beginning of a renewal in our Summer Capitol.

SadStory.

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort’s gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.”

The moment you find that someone that makes your heart beat, stop the search and take the risk. Remember, the world is a big place that if you lose that special one, you’re going to have to search the world again.
