This video is a tour of Baguio City in September 2009. The tour includes downtown sites such as the market, Session Road, and SM City Baguio. Enjoy! The song in the video is called 7 Years by Cedar Avenue
My father was stationed at Camp John Hay (1962 - 1966) I'm saddened to see that the place has changed that much after the handover. But then the whole city has changed, I hardly recognized anything. I also attended Brent HS (where my mother taught for many years) It's nice to see that the campus has remained virtually unchanged after all these years. It brought back so many memories (both good and bad) Thanks for sharing this clip.

Aww...miss this place already! I'm Filipiono American and was just here last month to visit relatives, which they took me here as this is a popular tourist spot and "closest" (no snow) to my type of weather where I grew-up (Minnesota). Great to see your guys' persepective of this beautiful part of the "main" island!
I visited Baguio couple of times 1995, 2001, 2005 and 2011. Things have changed in Baguio..Baguio was once a clean and a very peaceful place to live/stay but during my last visit on Baguio it was very crowded and piles and piles of houses which wasnt' present way back 1995 or early 2000. I just missed the old Baguio..the old Baguio is an amazing tourist nature destination if the residents and local leaders protected it instead of exploiting the wealth of nature.
it's been few years back but thank you for posting this video. Baguio has lots of beautiful spots and i hope you've had the chance to see most of them. I've been away for more than a year now and I miss my home town so much.
ITS MY FIRST TIME TO GO IN BAGUIO LAST YEAR I SPEND MY WHOLE VACATION THERE TAKING PICTURES OF PEOPLE EVENTS AND SCENES SPECIALLY AMERICAN -FILIPINO COUPLES.,, I CAN SAY THAT IT IS SAFE TO GO IN BAGUIO CAUSE EVEN IF MY CAMERA IS POPPED OUT NO ONE GRABBED IT. I LOVE TRAVELING I'LL GO THERE ON FEBRUARY TO WITNESS THE FAMOUS PANAGBENGA FESTIVAL
I appreciate the video and made me proud that some foreigner would still love the beauty of our city.. Comments are welcome but we would appreciate it more if you could directly say it to our city mayor. I guess once a visitor speaks their critics about the city then it could be a wake up call for them and to the local community. The city is lossing its real beauty. Sad to say.
I've been there, it was really nice, I was so sorry to have to leave. I hope to go back there soon. Looking at the video, I've been all the places you guys had. I really miss the place.
Also in the video she says the "Jeepney doesn't have routes and you have to know where there going" I believe the routes and roads are written on the side of the jeepney.Or just ask the driver. Locals mostly use the Jeepney with tourist and expats using taxis.
When I was young it was never that crowded. My backyard was pine trees and grassy hillside. We pick edible mushrooms that grow in the area. Now houses replaced the pine trees and mushrooms.
We lived in Baguio for two years as American foreigners and I never felt in any danger. In fact, I would often take long walks throughout various sections of the city and neighborhoods. With that said, I did have many friends who had their possessions stolen off their person (purses, wallets, cell phones). But over all, I would say that Baguio is a safe city. Thanks for watching the video!
I love your Vid guys! Awesome short film. Baguio City is my hometown until my 2nd year of High School in Saint Louis Boy's High before uprooting and leaving for California. Your the kinda people I love traveling with. You both show how two Foreigner's in a foreign land and enjoy themselves no matter what the conditions are. Most people who travel to other countries; Third World or not complain about the negative side of the country/place. Thank's for sharing guys! Subscribed! :) -dRu
Thanks for the video.. I grew up here..but you know SM is cutting down 180+ trees just to make way for a parking lot.. It would surely destroy the landscape of Session Rd..I believe most residents in Baguio are not in Favor of this..
Many years back when Camp John Hay was ran by the Americans Baguio City was the safest, cleanest and friendliest place in the Philippines. But now, No More. I studied in St louis University one of the best universities in the Philippines.
What a pleasant surprise! Its funny, but I am borderline embarrassed by this video after so many years. :) Great to hear from you! Are you still holding down the fort in Baguio?
Are you still in the Philippines? Me and my Girlfriend are planning to have a trip in Baguio city and Tagaytay City the Baguio of the South this coming May :)
