This is a partial view of a popular building in Baguio. Here are some clues to help you identify it. To play the game, you must give the proper name for the place!Also, if you have some story or anecdote connected with it, by all means, share! I promise to give you one, when it has been properly identified.
Clue 1: One of our dearest batchmates works there (is he still there?) as Personnel Officer
Clue 2: Many of our classmates' fathers (and mothers?) were employed there, among them Salvacion F, Diana B, Joselito C. Do you know of others?
Clue 3: It is within viewing distance from BCHS
Clue 4: Someone concealed a bomb in the flushbox of the second floor men's room and exploded, in 2006. Apay ngata.
Clue 5: The corridors smell of Lysol
Clue 6: And, in May 2009, a grenade blast happened a few meters from the building, at midnight (real estate dispute).
Hear from you soon!

The foto could have made sherlock holmes a failure in his job but your clue No. 2 gave away the building - its our beloved City Hall;my Dad used to work too at the City Engrs office way back 1953. I was in gr 3 at the nearby BaguioCentralSchool then and almost everyday I used to hangout at my Dads office after school w/
Raymond Tabangin(kasla his Dad was w/ the City Police Force then sa).And in 1954,an unforgettable event happened at the BCS - would Delma and the rest still remember, ngata? It was traumatic for us Grade 4 kids as the incident unfolded in our seemingly innocent eyes!

BCS ca. 1954: A bizarre murder occurred where the son killed his father (who was a teacher in school) for a ring; and dragged and left him in the crawl space of the main building. From then on,I never stayed in the schoolgrounds after classes were over. Sightings of the old man were the tall tales that scared me from staying until dusk. We used to tender our personal vegetable garden located at the side of the "quonset(sp.?)" buildings. I planted "lubias" - Baguio string-beans.
Anyway, the answer to Game 2 is: Baguio City Hall, or is it just "City Hall?"
