Summer is almost over and soon rainy days will be makin’ us, I included, frown again. Farmers who longs for that needed water to irrigate their parched lands can now heave a sigh of relief as the wet season is just around the corner. But before we say goodbye to the warm and dry climate of summer, let me just make a last ditch effort to enjoy whatever days left of it. And, like what Olaf said from his song “when life’s get rough, I like to hold on to my dream. Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam,” what better way for me and for my family to let off some steam is by taking a plunge in one of the scores of hot spring resorts here in the province of Benguet.
The day the TV series Forevermore hit the boob tube was also the same day that the sleepy farming village of Sitio Pungayan in the municipality of Tuba, Benguet became an instant tourist attraction. Twas also the same day that the fictional village of Sitio La Presa was born where Agnes and her family lived and Xander, the other protagonist of the series, unexpectedly messed up their once peaceful lives. And just like the entry of Xander into Agnes life, Sitio Pungayan or should I say, Sitio La Presa has also turned into an overnight sensation. La Presa has become a household name nowadays, thanks to the popularity of Forevermore.
This will be the first in our series of reviews of what’s cookin’ and eatin’ here in Baguio City. First on our list would be Point & Grill restaurant located at the Lower Ground Floor of SM City Baguio and a branch at Upper Session Road fronting Porta Vaga Mall. When you are craving for some home cooked good and grilled foods that are easy on the budget then Point & Grill will be the top choice.
When you are in a new place wouldn’t it be great if somehow you can manage to at least, speak the local dialect even if it’s just the basic ones. Well if you are planning to have your dream vacation in Baguio City then I think it would be helpful for you to learn some basic Ilocano phrases. Now, the reason why most people in Baguio City speak the Ilocano dialect is, in part, due to its geographical location. Baguio City is mainly surrounded by Ilocano speaking provinces. La Union to its west side, Ilocos Sur and Abra to the north and Pangasinan province on the south side. And with the immigration of the people from these provinces also follows the adoption of its dialect. So, don’t be surprised if Ilocano is also spoken here in Baguio aside from the provinces of La Union, Ilocos Sur and Norte, Abra, and Pangasinan.
