BAGUIO, then and now !?!

Aah, Baguio. Who wouldn't want to take his picture in the scenic Mines View. Every time we went to Baguio, it seems to be traditional to take pictures in Mines View, Mansion, and Burnham Park. It's the kids second time to visit the summer capital. With the global warming, yes, Baguio really is 'the option' to escape Manila's sweltering heat.

Well, the kids really enjoyed their stay. In this novelty picture, hehe, our apologies for borrowing the fixtures in the wall.

This is the Baguio I remember since I was a kid up to the time I was already in college. We, me & my college gang, used to go up to Baguio every summer during college. At that time, traffic and pollution were not yet an issue.

But now, sadly, the hills of Baguio are filled with roofs, and even being classified as one of the most polluted cities in the country. The price we have to pay for progress!

On our way back to Manila, it was almost zero visibility.
Maybe, we'll still go back to Baguio, unless there's another place that would help ease the Manila summer heat?!? Beach? NAH, sunburn is much worse.
