"Balik Baguio"

Thanks Arthur B for alerting us on this article on “Balik Baguio”, an account of a family’s holiday exploration of Baguio, appearing in the June 24th issue of Inquirer.

(Have been away from the computer for a week now, just back from a visit to Vientiane, Laos, a 55 minute plane ride away.)

GUESSING GAME 3 Photo

Thanks for playing the game, this time we had three ‘mates who responded. One is a lad from Canada: a Blue Jays diehard fan, hums Celine Dion's Immortality even in his deep, deep slumber, and brave enough to sputter French like oui's,(sure it is not IOU?), bienvenue's and merci "buko's". Kaya pala umaapos ang Niagara iso iti pagdigdigusan na quen paglidlidlidden na. (David my better half, has figured out that there are more Ilocano words that are longer, than Thai words).

Two, is our long-lost Ludy B-A, (O Ludy Where Have You Been All these Years?) who is too young to remember the song ( I used to hear it every other minute on WPGC, Prince George’s County) , thinks Emil A. is in Canada (No Ludy, he is very much a Bay Area person, still flying with United for a good number of years now, but his sister(s) live in Canada). Did you know that Ludy is a cousin to our dear late classmate Dom F., and also to Philip L. (His sister Lewing gave me his tel. no. so get in touch with me if you wish to call Philip). Ludy mentioned Colas D. He was our classmate from Grade 1 at Lucban, through 4^th year at CT High. Anyone who knows Colas, kindly send the message that we wish to get in touch with him. You got the Rev. Franklin right!! Who, by the way, according to Arthur, gives a sermon that is incredibly good to listen to and reaches the depth of your soul.

And Three, a brilliant conclusion: Brewster, Lucas and festive gave it away, as with Joe and Frank.

Left to right: Joe A, Rudy L, Arthur B minus Crown, Rev. Frank, Olive.

"Paradise city of pines battles urban decay"

A “mountain visits the Profet”

In and Out of Baguio, Cecile Afable.

The lights of the day were just behind my house when the dogs announced a guest was arriving. He happened to be the mountain, Amando Doronila, the most read columnist of our top national daily paper, the Inquirer. He came to visit the littlest columnist of the Cordillera. To give him a fitting welcome, I had a beautiful and warm fire glowing in the fireplace. And our course a fine dinner with Gil Bautista, chairman of the CenteCom; Gerry Evangelista; his assistant; and our favorite lady friend Baboo Mondonedo, who showed our guest where I live. Doro was so happy and glowing at age 80.

He will write about our Centennial of course and he stayed half of the week as a guest of the Baguio Country Club, courtesy of Baboo.

Many more people, the great and small, will come and visit us during the Centennial month and so let us all do our big or little bits to impress ourselves about our efforts.

Amando Doronila’s two-part article on Paradise city of pines battles urban decay

BAGUIO CITY—Designed for 25,000 people in 1903 when the Philippine Commission declared it as the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio is bursting at the seams, and is struggling to expand beyond its 49-sq km perimeter, sitting on a plateau that rises 1,400 meters, making it the coolest city in the country.
