Living in Baguio Vlog / UGLY TRUTH about living in Baguio tourist city / The Olego Fam 

Re: the traffic in Baguio (or elsewhere in PH), I think you cannot really solve it (unless Filipinos embrace the practical aspects of mass transits like trains and bicycles) I've always regarded Baguio as the Amsterdam of the Philippines without the bicycles. Here are some reasons why traffic is persistent. 1. Filipinos are car-loving people but Filipinos were sold to the concept of cars because car manufacturers have powerful marketing campaigns to keep it that way. They get away with it because they lobby to make this possible to PH government officials. 2. Filipinos can't stand to have any space empty. An empty wall will not stay empty in a Filipino's home. It will be filled out. It's almost like we really embrace the 16th and 17th Baroque period where every little space has to have a purpose. It's in total contrast to Scandinavian minimalism which is kind of ironic that Filipinos have the largest IKEA store. Maybe Pinoys can learn a thing or two about minimalism. I remember talking to a Pinoy why he goes to Times Square when he already lives in NY. He said it makes him feel less lonely. While New Yorkers will not be caught going there because there's just too many people. One time I was also in Auckland NZ I met two Filipinos on the street and one cried saying they were lonely in NZ because there's no store like Megamall. They miss the crowd of people. 3. The interest to have large homes even when there's limited space is very Pinoy. One can see it in many of the walk-through video shows of real estate companies. They focus on presenting the big homes whereas the Japanese like to showcase their sensibly sized homes for all. 4. Unlike the US where a mall could be zoned away from the busy areas, PH malls are in the busiest areas, thus the gridlock. 5. Filipinos don't mind buying big jeep vehicles like Ford Explorer etc. Very much in contrast to the thinking of Italians and French who own tiny cars like the Fiat etc. 6. I went to Stanford University years ago and there was no visible cars inside the campus. Just college students in their bicycles. Filipinos don't like it quiet. Ther has to be music everywhere or noise or the busyness of the city. A japanese vlogger pointed out how he was surprised by the noise pollution in PH. I wished Baguio was like Amsterdam or Stanford U where people are ok with bicycles on top of a good train system, but that will not happen for the reasons stated above. Tourism is more important than the rights of residents.

@@TheOlegoFam its not that bad..akala ko naman 1-2 hrs?

June to August is the lean season were prices are lower and least crowded but be sure to pack an umbrella and raingear as you experience Baguio in the rainy season. I bravely survived several typhoons on my past visits to Baguio and in the words of legendary Scottish comedian Sir Billy Connolly would say "There's no such thing as Bad Weather - only the wrong clothes. Get yourself a sexy raincoat and live a little"😅. It's better to commute to Baguio by bus than bringing your car as Baguio traffic 🚦 is so heavily congested

Soon po we are on the process of applying for pagibig house construction loan 😊 Also my husband will be the contractor then mag subcon po but we will definitely share the whole journey

Makes sense 😅 i would choose the cold weather

Hello mommy thanks for watching 💛

On my last visit to Baguio on official government transactions the traffic 🚦 in the city is so horribly unbearable and keeps getting worse, I would rather avoid Baguio at all.

Actually it's still easy to go around except during tourist peak season last week we went out traffic is okay and easy to go around siguro dahil maulan din 😊 Im using canon m200

Yup taga cebu father side ko and i visited cebu for several times and experienced the traffic 😊

Totoo kaya naghahanap hanap kame ng pasyalan outside town pag weekend kaso paminsan neex talaga mag errands sa town pag weekend dati nung maliit pa tyan ko binababa lang ako ni daddy ken sa session 😂 tas walk na kaso hirap na maglakad bigat na ng tyan ko

That is a nice story to read ❤️ Yan din yung kind of childhood na we are trying to build memories for our children kaya we moved to baguio 😊 thanks for the suggestion we tried that we went down sa naguilian and hit the beach at bauan madalas din kame sa hotspring sa asin ❤️ we'll try soon mag foodtrip sa may agoo like you recommend 😊

@@TheOlegoFam thank you. I really wish I’m a kid again as I’m now 70 yrs old po. Re- eating at Agoo, may isang resto po na style museum SA loob. I think the name is Aroo something like that..SA town proper, kita mo jolibee..may iskinita papasok 100meters..native foods po. Tables nila ay antique sewing machines. Ang lagayan NG bills ay antique plansa de uling. Again, just my UNSOLICITED OPINION PO .

😂😂😂

Totoo tapos ang daming galit na bisita 😅

Yup totally agree hindi talaga kaya ng Baguio ang mas maraming tao 😊

@@TheOlegoFam yes po maliit po kasi land area ng Baguio tapos konti lang flat lands kaya masikip siya kahit 300k plus population

Love the sunday market vibes pero may consequence lang talaga
