Another wonderful opportunity has been given to us courtesy by no less than one of the media giants here in the Philippines- ABS-CBN. For the 2nd consecutive time this year, Baguio Family Time was recognized by such respectable institutions as one of the reliable sources of events here in Baguio City. We received an email from Sir Justin Irons, media relations officer of ABS-CBN Corporation inviting us to be one of the lucky few media personalities in the city to witness the launching of Sky Direct.

Last week, National Bookstore SM Baguio held a 2 day "Color and Calligraphy Fair." The said event was conducted at the Main Mall Atrium, SM City Baguio from March 25-26, 2017, 10 AM to 6 PM. We, at baguiofamilytime.weebly.com were fortunate enough to get an invitation from no less than National Bookstore itself to witness the event but unfortunately we were not able to read the email sent to us by National Bookstore on time. Talking about a wasted opportunity.
This is a one worthy cause to be writing about and be featuring here in our site-Earth Hour 2017. The world we live in right now is not only wrecked with wars of all forms but also with environmental degradation and this is the worst form of destruction that humans can do to the only place we call our home.
This is the first in a series of Throwback Thursday blogs that we'll be doing here featuring old places and establishments in Baguio City that has long been forgotten or gone. As an opener, we will be featuring long gone cinemas and movie houses in Baguio City that is a part of our childhood and teenage life. Before the advent of SM City Baguio Cinema, these old movie houses were big hits whenever top grossing movies were shown.
After several months of being away and on a self imposed hiatus due to a very busy schedule, I am back and itching to write new blogs again and what a better way I think is to start off is with an entry about a new tourist attraction that is slowly making it presence felt in the social media and in Philippine tourism. May we proudly present to you the Santorini version of the municipality of La Trinidad-STOBOSA HILLSIDE HOMES ARTWORK.
Travelling to Baguio City, especially for first-timers, can be quite exciting and at the same time stressful. Exciting in the sense that finally the moment you've been waiting for all your life has finally arrived. You've been planning for it, saving for it, gathered enough information about the place and after so many failed attempts to do it due to unforeseen events like typhoons, unavailability of vacation leaves, and other reason which prevented you, at last, everything's fallen into its proper order and everything's good to go for you. And just when you thought that you have covered everything from the budget to your accommodations, the stress of what to bring with you on your vacation comes in. This is fairly a problem especially for first-time travelers to Baguio. So, to relieve you of this stress we've come up with few suggestions on what or what you should not bring with you on your Baguio vacation.
Welcome and mabuhay!
Some of our guests who discovered and even availed some of our services always asked us if we also have an available local tour guide who could probably escort them around the city as none of them are familiar with the ins and outs of the place. We politely answered them that as of now we don't have but due to insistent public demand we gave in to the request just recently and we ventured into this very fulfilling work. So it's official that we are now offering Baguio City local tour guide. Most of us, if not all, don't have any private means that would conveniently take us from point A to point B. Meaning, we don't have our own car to get us to where we wanna go. But Filipino as we are, this doesn't prevent us from pursuing our love to travel even if it means having to endure the inconvenience of transferring from one bus to another or even riding the national transportation of the country, the jeepney. Well taking public transportation has it's own few advantages but more of the disadvantage side if you would ask us. Anyway, you have the choice. If you have your own car then we highly recommend that you take and use it but if you don't have then may the good Lord have mercy on you. Just kidding. Yep, that is why we made this blog entry for you who's planning on a trip to Baguio but don't have the luxury of a private car. We're gonna mention the buses that is plying the Manila-Baguio-Manila route, their schedules and their terminals in Manila and in Baguio.
Last night, a friend of my wife who came home for a vacation from Bahrain asked us if we could possibly meet her and accompany her to try out Oh My Gulay Artist Café at Session Road. Well, we answered yes for a pretty much obvious reason. First, we don’t have to worry on who’s paying the tab and second, my wife’s haven’t been to Oh My Gulay before and she’s excited about the place. I’ve been there once, and after 5 years get the chance to visit it again only now. So we meet my wife’s friend and her boyfriend at Starbucks Café at SM City Baguio and after a few hi’s and hello’s, our group decided to make our way to Oh My Gulay café. We arrived at around 6:30 in the evening and surprisingly, there are only a handful of customers who are either trying out the café’s delicious meals or just passing their time chatting with someone and feeling the relaxed ambiance of the place. The first thing I did when we arrived was to proceed to the balcony of the café which boasts of a beautiful Burnham Park view and cool air.
I’ve been to so many places here in the Philippines already but I guess there is no place like home and Baguio City is just incomparable to other. There have been countless tourists from within and outside the Philippines whose trip to this wonderful city has been memorable and they end up coming back again.
