The Summer Capital of the Philippines

Baguio, Philippines


I remember a very relaxing vacation in the Philippines two summers ago. My Filipino friends brought me to the Summer Capital of the Philippines which was Baguio City. I never imagined that a cool place such as Baguio existed in the tropical Island.

The city was fairly cold, but was very chilling at night. The famous Session Road boasted of fine restaurants and cafes. Burnham Park was very Filipino, with sights of family picnic, boat rides, and Field activities. Nightlife was very laidback with nightclubs such as City Lights, Red Lion, and the Legarda Strip. I also had the chance to visit Camp John Hay and Baguio Country Club, which had vast Golf Courses and other great amenities.

I had very fond memories with my friends in Baguio. It was a very happy place to be, though filled with poverty. Baguio was just another awesome city in the country.
