Missing Baguio

I was born in Baguio. For the longest time, I have been planning to visit my hometown. Then, COVID-19 happened unfortunately. As of October 23, only tourists coming from Luzon are allowed to enter Baguio. Hence, I will have to postpone my trip until it reopens to the rest of the country. I am from the Western Visayas Region, specifically Boracay.

Learn more about Baguio City by watching the vlogs of my friend Je Carino of Kwentong Pinas. He is based in Baguio City. Watching his vlogs makes me miss my hometown all the more! Thanks Je for lending me some of the beautiful shots of the country’s summer capital.
