Baguio, often referred to as the “Summer Capital of the Philippines,” is a picturesque city nestled in the mountains of Benguet province in northern Luzon. Known for its cool climate and stunning natural beauty, Baguio has also developed a vibrant art, music, and cultural scene that adds to its charm and allure.
“Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral”
The Baguio Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located on top of Mount Mary Hill. The construction of the Baguio Cathedral began in 1920 and was completed in 1936. It stands on the site where an old Spanish-built church called the “Our Lady of the Atonement Church” once stood. The church was elevated to the status of a cathedral in 1932 when the Diocese of Baguio was established.
Baguio, Philippines:
Baguio City, located in the province of Benguet in the Philippines, has a rich and fascinating history. The area was originally inhabited by the indigenous people of the Cordilleras, known as the Ibalois.
It was during the American colonial period in the early 20th century that Baguio City began to develop into the thriving city it is today. In 1903, the Americans established Camp John Hay as a rest and recreation area for their soldiers. This led to the construction of roads and infrastructure, attracting more settlers and transforming the region into a popular summer retreat.
Baguio City was officially chartered as a city in 1909, and it became the summer capital of the Philippines. Over the years, Baguio City has grown in population and popularity, becoming a major tourist destination known for its cool climate, scenic views, and cultural attractions.
Baguio City is known for its prominent locations, such as Burnham Park, named after American architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham, who designed the city’s master plan. The park features a man-made lake, gardens, and recreational facilities. Another notable location is Mines View Park, which offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and mines.
The iconic Session Road is the city’s main commercial and entertainment hub, lined with shops, restaurants, and hotels. Other attractions include the Baguio Cathedral, The Mansion (the official summer residence of the Philippine President), and the colorful public market where visitors can find a variety of local produce and handicrafts.
Bagio’s Creative Community
Baguio has a thriving local music scene. The city is home to several music venues, bars, and cafes that host live performances by local bands and artists. You can enjoy a wide range of musical genres, including folk, rock, reggae, and indie music. Baguio has produced notable musicians and bands who have made their mark in the Philippine music industry.
Baguio’s culture is deeply rooted in the indigenous heritage of the Cordillera region. The ancestral lands of various indigenous tribes such as the Ibalois, Kankanaeys, and Igorots surround the city. These tribes have preserved their traditions, rituals, and craftsmanship, evident in the city’s culture. The Baguio City Market offers a glimpse into the rich culture of the Cordillera, with vendors selling traditional crafts, woven textiles, and hand-carved wooden items.
