There is a construction site in Bermuda Hills about 1k from the main road.

Go past the construction of what I was told will be the tallest chicken coop in the Philippines.

When you see this abandoned building you are there. If you want a fixer upper, it is for sale.

This is the front entrance. Notice the very large white arrow.

North of Metro Manila, the Baguio Convention Center is considered to be the most modern and most spacious facility of its kind . It is often used for conventions, programs, conferences, graduations, and other types of indoor gatherings or activities requiring a large seating capacity.This imposing Center is located in the southern part of the city and is within short walking distance from the Baguio Tourism complex and the Baguio campus of the University of the Philippines which is just across the street. The Center, which was designed with an Igorot motif, initially gained international prominence when it became the venue of the 1978 World Chess Championship series between two Russian grandmasters - Anatoly Karpov and Victor Korchnoi. President Ferdinand E. Marcos inaugurated it during the opening of this championship match on July 17, 1978.

The Lourdes Grotto is another Catholic shrine and place of meditation in Baguio. It is located on a high hill in the western part of the city where you will find the image of the Lady of Lourdes.

The grotto is a favorite pilgrimage site during Holy Week most especially during Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Access to the top of the grotto could be made by climbing the 252 steps or by driving a light vehicle through a winding, narrow and steep asphalt-paved road. Devotees who go up to the grotto to pray usually light up a candle at an altar below the image. There are also vendors at the shrine who are willing to light up a candle for you and say a prayer for whatever personal intentions you might have.

As it is in many other similar shrines, the grotto was constructed to commemorate the numerous visions of the Virgin Mary by a 14-year old French girl named Bernadette Soubirous. This happened in 1858 from February 11 to July 16 in the town of Lourdes which is in southwestern France. The visions were declared authentic by the Pope in 1862 and this also led to the authorization of the cult of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Between Burnham Park and the City Hall of Baguio is a rectangular piece of city property known as Rizal Park. The park was erected in honor of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, and is similar to numerous other parks found in towns and cities all over the Philippines, which are also named in his honor. It is on this site that the annual celebration honoring Rizal every 30th of December is held. Rizal was an academician, a linguist, historian, writer, a scientist, and a medical doctor. He wrote a book titled “Noli Me Tangere” where he depicted the condition Filipinos were living in under the hostile and oppressive rule of the Spanish friars. His books were banned by the Spanish friars in the country at that time since it sought to expose their corruption and greed. Rizal’s second novel was the “El Filibusterismo” which was the sequel to his first book and where he clarified his political ideas. Rizal is said to be one of the greatest Filipinos who ever lived. At a time when the Philippines was under the oppressive rule of the Spaniards who came to colonize the country, Rizal’s brilliance and dedication to his country served as inspiration for the Filipinos to fight for their independence. Rizal was a believer in the potential of the Filipino to seek the greatest heights amid adversity, and he lived a life that proved this.

The Bell Church is located north of the downtown area of Baguio along the road leading to the town of La Trinidad, Benguet. Within its compound are intricately designed arches and buildings adorned with flags, bells and dragons. It has a pagoda, and beautifully landscaped gardens. There are some artifacts about Buddhism that you will find at the Bell Church as well as some literature about the history of China. It is during the Spring Festival or what is more commonly known in the West as the Chinese New Year that local and foreign Chinese tourists flock to the Bell Church. Like all Chinese festivals, the date of the New Year is determined by the lunar/solar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar. The observance of the holiday falls on a different date each year and it usually varies from late January to the middle of February. This Chinese public holiday is usually observed for 3 days although the festival traditionally starts with the new moon on the first day of the New Year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the New Year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

Visitors should find time to buy at least an item or two to take home with them. Bringing home a souvenir like a Baguio broom, a jar of Ubi, peanut brittle, choco flakes, a wood carving, fresh strawberries, assorted fresh vegetables, or even a lei of everlasting flowers seems to be the usual way of letting others know that you have been to Baguio City and have something to share. Test your bargaining skills at the public market where there is a wide range of products and brands of souvenirs to choose from.

Buses to Baguio from Manila and buses from Baguio to Manila have a bus station a short distance from Session Road. Baguio bus choices are non-aircon, air conditioned, and deluxe which has wider seats, a snack bar and a washroom (no more stop overs = shorter travel time). On the average, you can take a bus from Baguio to Manila for P385. Buses going north from Baguio are located along Magsaysay Avenue or near the Baguio market. These buses are in fairly good condition but do not have washrooms, aircon, movies or anything luxurious. But they are cheap.

Jeepneys in Baguio are plentiful but routes around and in the outskirts of the city are a bit confusing. Terminals of jeepneys bound for areas farther from central Baguio are found in Burnham Park and near the City Market. The minimum fare is about P7.
