For those who plan on hitting the road and driving straight to Baguio, this list is for you. Come along with Department of Tourism’s Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat as she visits the City of Pines.
When you think of Baguio, you'd immediately think of the cold breeze and the tall pine trees. But apart from that, there are far more things to appreciate in the summer capital of the Philippines such as its art. Secretary Bernadette shares, "Baguio is more than just its natural wonders, and we want more Filipinos to rediscover what UNESCO designated as a Creative City for Crafts and Folk Arts. Initiatives like Ibagiw will certainly help revive tourism in the region and jumpstart the local economy."
Explore Baguio with a new perspective and a new itinerary:
Baguio Convention Center
The DOT Secretary began the tour at the Baguio Convention Centre which was refurbished recently and currently houses the exhibit “Interlinked," with pieces created by National Artist for Film Kidlat Tahimik and other local artists.
