1. Get to know the real Baguio Community
Thousands of people are residing in Baguio, in 2013 alone
there are 318, 676 residents living in Baguio about 8, 886 of them are Koreans.
This is due to the fact that Baguio is the educational hub
of the North.
You can find some of the best schools here in Luzon like Saint Louis University, University of the Philippines, University of the Cordilleras and University of Baguio and a whole lot more.

However, only a few residents get to enjoy the real Baguio
community. Some just watch as the day go by without fully grasping the charm
and magnificence of the city.
A lot of people from the lowlands have been attracted to go to
Baguio since the 1980's and continue
living here. But a lot of them never really see the real side of
Baguio especially at night.
Baguio is not just the Wag-Wagan Capital of the Philippines..it is so much more than that and I made this blog to give credit to the people who make Baguio great every day of week.

People love the cool weather and the lovely Pine trees,
today there are hardly any Pine trees in Baguio and for this reason
environmental groups like Save 182, One Nature, One Community, A Tree A Day among many others are doing their best in order to protect the remaining open spaces including that of Burnham Park and Rose Garden.

In order to truly love Baguio City, you need to know the
community...the real community.
The real people who make Baguio city what it is
and this is only possible if you are going to give you time to participate in
community events.
Believe it or not, Baguio is not a boring city, it is
complete with interesting and amazing groups that do not exist in other
provinces.
Here is the only town where people create a Facebook group
with thousands of members and meet each other over coffee and pandesal to discuss how they
are going to save the remaining Pine trees in Baguio.
Here is a city where there are famous secret Facebook personalities who divulge the
secrets of the city government.
Baguio is the home of wood carvers, painters, artists who
create brilliant necklaces from trash.
This is the only city
in the country that has poetry slam artists performing on the streets just
because they feel like doing so...
The real Baguio residents, those who truly love the city
have managed to create certain activities that make Baguio unique...it can easily win the label of " the most creative people in the Philippines".
In Baguio you can find passionate individuals who are
willing to protest on the streets to save their historical sites like the Post
Office.
Baguio is special because of the people that live in the
place--Baguio is the only place in the Philippines where a celebrity will not
be disturbed while walking in the streets.
The real residents of Baguio have their own town
celebrities, in order to become famous here in Baguio you need to make a name
for yourself--by providing a useful skill or by displaying an amazing wit--you will not get respect here just because you are the rich daughter or son of a Congressman or Mayor. Even the sons and daughters of politicians needs to have an actual skill here if they want to get noticed.
You need to earn your reputation and you need to be willing
to take part in whatever is happening around the city if you truly want to
enjoy what it means to live in Baguio. Baguio will not give you immediate respect just because you
are a celebrity on TV.
Baguio is a place for the cultured, people with finesse.
Here is a place where men actually read, here is a place to find amazing
writers, poets and book shop owners who are willing to provide their space for
theater performances.
Baguio...despite not having any fantastic resort or high end
shopping malls easily becomes one of the best city in the Philippines.. not only
because of the climate- but because of the brilliant people residing in it.
So what is the Baguio community really? The Baguio community
is so complex, you cannot just describe them as a place with teachers, students, call center
agents...government officials...and so on and so forth like you would in any
city.
Baguio is complete with the best groups in town--it is the New York City of the Philippines and only the people who have given their time and effort giving back to the community will
have the honor of meeting this amazing people in my story.
