Baguio 2008

My friends and I went on a three day trip to Baguio for the JTG international convention which was held at Summer place hotel along Marcos Highway.

It was ten years ago when I last visited the mountains up north and I should say that a lot have changed ever since. One thing I noticed was the climate, in spite of the cloudy weather, it's not that cold anymore. Another is the newly built SM Baguio and the People support call center.

Too bad I didn't get an exterior shot of Baguio cathedral because it was raining when we got there. I only took a couple of interiors using my Holga and the films are still being processed.

"View from the room"



"SM Baguio"



"This is Baguio not Japan." ^^



"Burnham park"





"The Presidential Mansion"

I also went to down to SM Baguio's basement to see a photo exhibit. The theme was Burnham Park: Then and now. I saw collections of the park's photos from 1911 to 2008. I like the works of Ric Maniquis and Ompong Tan. Even the panoramic shots (Which I think was manually stitched) of the old park from 1911 up to the 1930's were amazing.
