Baguio, officially the City of Baguio (Ilocano: Siudad ti Baguio; Tagalog: Lungsod ng Baguio), is a 1st class highly urbanized city in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. It is known as the "Summer Capital of the Philippines", owing to its cool climate since the city is located approximately 4,810 feet (1,470 meters) above mean sea level, often cited as 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) in the Luzon tropical pine forests ecoregion, which also makes it conducive for the growth of mossy plants, orchids and pine trees, to which it attributes its other moniker as the "City of Pines".
Baguio was established as a hill station by the United States in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. It was the United States' only hill station in Asia.
Baguio is classified as a Highly-Urbanized City (HUC). It is geographically located within Benguet, serving as the provincial capital from 1901 to 1916, but has since been administered independently from the province following its conversion into a chartered city. The city is the center of business, commerce, and education in northern Luzon, as well as the seat of government of the Cordillera Administrative Region. According to the 2020 census, Baguio has a population of 366,358.

Both the Baguio City hymn and mar h were submitted as entries to a hymn writing contest for the City of Baguio’s Diamond Jubilee celebration in 1984. “Beautiful Baguio” was composed by Ms. Basilisa Cachero Pimentel while “Baguio: Haven for All,” which won first place, was written by late Arnulfo “Arnold” Badasen Cadangen.
In 1993, the City Council of Baguio formally declared “Baguio: Haven for All” as the official Baguio Hymn and “Beautiful Baguio” as the Baguio March through Ordinance No. 052, series of 1993.
The Baguio Hymn and Baguio March should be sung or played during functions and programs in the city of Baguio. This is according to the resolution recently signed by Mayor Benjamin Magalong on March 15, 2021.
As stated on the resolution, the Baguio Hymn should be sung or played after the National Anthem or “Ang Bayan Kong Pilipinas” while the Baguio March be played at any part of activities such as but not limited to:
Flag raising ceremonies;
Programs or functions of the City Government of Baguio and of the barangays;
Programs or activities initiated, sponsored, or coordinated by or with the City Government of Baguio;
Programs, celebrations, or activities initiated or coordinated by accredited and city-registered non-government organizations and civic orientated groups;
Every sign-on or sign-off of all media stations; and
City and tourism activities of the City Government of Baguio in any place as well as in official city gatherings or meetings outside the city.
The resolution to sing the Baguio anthems was passed by Councilor Fred Bagbagen to boost one’s pride as a Baguio City resident and will certainly promote patriotism and camaraderie.
