A beautiful cathedral at the heart of the city of pines whose name now eludes me (is it St. Mary's?)Baguio is known as the Philippines' summer capital because its geographic altitude gives the city a cool almost springlike feel all year round. It is important to remember, however, that pollution, waste management problems and a giant mall at the heart of the city has altered its atmosphere somehow--in both literary and literal sense. Here are a few pictures of Baguio I took before my poor Olympus' battery ran out.
If you're planning to visit the city, do check out these gastronomic samplers from Zola (open 24 hours).
