Even if just for its cool climate alone, Baguio City offers an inviting escape from the searing hot temperatures of the lowlands. Add to this its pine trees, upland flora and the unique Cordillera culture of its people, then there should be no reason why the city can not be an undisputed tourist haven.
But sometimes, in order to appreciate Baguio, you have to close your eyes.
Make believe that you do not see the dying trees and the balding mountains now overrun with concrete and metal.
Turn blind to the filth and litter here and there..
Ignore the charmless decaying structures brutally imposed on the sylvan landscape.
To appreciate Baguio, sometimes you have to close your eyes to the heartbreaking ugliness that assaults you.
