[[ March 4 Philippines - Baguio City

Hello Philippines! I am here for 17 days and this is the first stop. Baguio is 5050 feet above sea level and has a more temperate climate ... Currently 17C at 5 pm! Established by the Americans in 1900 as a hill station, the city has become the summer retreat for some, a regional Capitol, University town and with over 350,000 residents has a great many things to see.
