Thank you for visiting this home page. It is all about Baguio City which is also known as the Summer Capital
of the Philippines or the City of Pines. It is hoped that through this Website you will learn something about
our beautiful city and the people who call Baguio home.
Visit the different Landmarks and Scenic Sites
portrayed in this Website and see what it is that makes Baguio City a favorite among foreign and local visitors
alike. Don't miss to check out Baguio Revisited in October 2003 which is the newest addition. Portrayed are
the latest photographs of the parks and gardens of Baguio, the different landmarks and scenic attractions, a glimpse of
what is seen along Session Road and at the Baguio Public Market. There are also night scene photos of Baguio.
Another interesting highlight portrayed are the two Baguio Photo Albums which should not be missed.
Baguio is my hometown and it will always remain this way. There is just nothing like it elsewhere in the Philippines
to work for a living and start a family of your own. With its cool weather, friendly residents, clean environment,
scenic mountain views, and pine-scented air, Baguio is not only one of the best places to visit when in the Philippines
but also the most suitable city to be a resident of. Dan Pinkerton, an American friend of mine, wrote: "Of all
the places I
visited in the Philippines, to me, Baguio City is the grandest of all. Maybe it is the Igorot ancestors of years gone
by that supplies the everescent glow one feels in this magical city. As a visitor, I cannot compare Baguio with any
city I know in the USA. It is a city that is unique and one of its kind. I love Baguio and its godsend people."
Browse through, enjoy your tour, and return as often as you want ... or better yet, come
and make an actual visit and see Baguio City for yourself. It will be an experience you will most surely enjoy and
probably make you want to keep coming back.
There are two Photo Albums of Baguio City which were created
by the "HAWAIIAN WEBMASTER" to
provide a closer and more detailed look into the City of Baguio and its residents.
Baguio Photo Album I, the very first
online album of the city, became accessible on October 28, 2000. Portrayed in this album are 210 assorted
photographs classified as follows: Aerial Photographs, Baguio Public Market, The Drive Up Kennon Road, Faces in
The Crowd, and Glimpse of Baguio (Circa 2000). Also portrayed in this album are photographs and newspaper articles
of the big and destructive earthquake of 1990 which brought death and destruction to the city. "Glimpse of Baguio"
shows how the city has been reconstructed and brought back to life by its residents who never gave up hope on their
city. The cover photo of the album shows a representative group of the local Igorot community in Honolulu, Hawaii
Baguio Photo Album II
is the second and more recent album which was created in November 25, 2001. The cover photo (shown at left) of the
album portrays the former city mayor of Baguio, Mauricio G. Domogan, in an authentic Igorot attire of a native warrior
and participating in an Igorot dance ritual. The album contains 109 of the latest scanned photographs of the
city which were taken by the Hawaiian WebMaster during his visit to Baguio in February 2000. The album is divided
into two main parts consisting of pictures portraying different places in the city. There are 44 photographs in each
part. Also included in this album are 20 photographs of Igorot Art (Murals).

gives an account of the fun and memorable days he spent at Navy Base and Fort Del Pilar where his father, Col.
Bienvenido V. Baquirin, Prof (Ret), was a member of the academic faculty of the Philippine Military Academy.
