Historia
Baguio City was established as a hill station by the Americans in the early 1900s, chosen for its cool climate and scenic beauty. It quickly became a popular retreat for those seeking relief from the heat of the lowlands, and its development was marked by the construction of roads and infrastructure.
Over the years, Baguio has evolved into a vibrant city, blending its colonial past with modern influences. It has faced challenges such as the 1990 earthquake, which significantly impacted its landscape and infrastructure, but the city has shown resilience and continues to thrive as a cultural and tourist hub.
