Lisa writes from Baguio, where she resides with 7 dogs and 4 vintage cars. A firm believer in that if there's anything one should be generous about it would be information, she now supplements Go Baguio! with inside tips on visiting, living and doing business in this cool, cool city in the mist.

A Pine Fellow

Written by lisa on Jun 4th, 2007 | Filed under: baguio

A friend of both my sisters’ was over last weekend — funny, funny man Mel Garrido, who emceed a ritzy wedding reception at the country club. He cracks jokes, deadpan, in the middle of serious conversations. While recounting his sightseeing activities last Saturday, he remarked,

I met three pine trees as I was walking and asked how they were.

The first replied, “I’m pine!”

The next said, “I’m pine, too!”

The last one said, “I’m pine tree!”

Save the Baguio Pine Trees, please sign the Petition to Declare Baguio a Heritage Zone!

    And when Jesus Christ was asked what he was doing in Baguio (remember, Mother Mary “shows up in Agoo”), he aswered, “I’m just doing PINE.”

    Hi Tina, yes, Sunstar reported a few months ago he was planning to put waterfalls instead. And finally, Midland got itself a website — it’s about time!

    Hello, Marie, yup, corny … but so was Mel! Hahaha.

    :)

    We gave a project proposal for a website to Baguio Midland 11 years ago!

    Concrete pine tree will go but in its place, TRAFFIC LIGHTS???? To decongest that area, I suggest one-way going up SM, all vehicles coming from Upper Session Road and Leonard Wood Road go to the street in front of YMCA, if one needs to go back to SM, turn left towards the Cathedral and another left turn in front of the Post Office then you’re back on Session Road. Such scheme will probably also open the eyes of the City Administration of the DOUBLE PARKING that happens at the SLU Laboratory Schools-UB area… Come on, children need the WALK! What a waste if you’re in Baguio, City of Pines (???) , “Cleanest and Greenest in the Philippines” and not exercise? (Blog on children’s books and paraphernalia for school is another matter)
