The City of Pines

Baguio city is called the summer capital of the Philippines. Its a city on top of a mountain so temperature is always cooler than the lowlands. Baguio city is a 6 hour ride from Metro Manila. We departed at manila around 3pm then we arrived at Baguio at 9pm. A bit tired so just decided to sleep then wake up early for tomorrow’s tour. We started to visit the Cathedral Church..

Then after we went to Philippine Military Academy (PMA)100_7620 100_7621 100_7622 100_7627 100_7628 100_7635 100_7639 100_7640 100_7641 100_7643 100_7644 100_7656 100_7657 100_7661 100_7662

PMA is the place where competitive future Filipino leaders molded and trained.

Next destination is the Camp John hay. They called this  place little America. A place inspired by Americans.

Camp John Hay  Cemetery of Negativity.The Cemetery of Negativity is not a normal cemetery. Built by the Americans in the early 20th century, it is a small picket-fenced enclosure with rows of inscribed headstones under which “negative habits and thoughts” (not people) are buried.

Taste the fresh strawberry.. 🙂 If you will buy it along the way its only 100php  per kilo. But if you wish to do the picking by yourself as what I did that will cost 300 pesos for 1 kilo. 100_7700
