What’s hot and what’s not in cool, cool Baguio City Philippines

Good Job, Peter Rey!

The mayor has ordered the clearing of the illegal vendors at the market and the sidewalks on Session!

He has also raised the curfew of minors from 9pm to 7pm.

They’re also contemplating ‘no parking’ on some major roads. If this is to pave the way for the parking building on Burnham Park, let’s watch them closely.  If they have found a way for Baguio to be a ‘walking city’ I will laud them as well.

They’re also monitoring the Korean schools and the study permits of those enrolled there.

So far so good!

    Hi Lisa,

    Looks like good changes are happening in Baguio. Yah, been busy with PPP. It’s a ‘feasibility’ study. :)
    I want to by a cute canon ;) .

    I’ve always had RSS feed links, including links at the base of each post. It’s just now that I have an icon. Hahaha.

    hi lisa, and the mayor is hell-bent i think with his proposed stalls in burnham park. what the nerve. hope the city council will oppose him on this, and it should. i recall the late max soliven quoting someone: men of power have no time to read but men who do not read are unfit for power. i dedicate that quote and the following quote to the mayor: the end does not justify the means.

    The residents of Baguio should oppose him on this. The city council and the mayor are all of the same mind — to make Baguio ugly, to coddle the squatters, to erect structures for which they can spend the taxpayers money unwisely.

    Hey Lisa,

    Some positive changes for him and his council is great. No to that Burnham parking building after the skirmish with that Parking Kingpin and they want to take over WTF!

    Huh another facelift for your blog and no photos? just asking hehehe!

    Btw, enjoyed reading your ABOUT LISA. Wow your family should have gone to reside in Baguio much earlier. By now you would have been a prime mover for changes in Baguio. Yup, caught a glimpse of you before you took it out. At least i can holler if i bump into you someday.

    This copyblogger theme has a different way of formatting photos. Apparently, I have to code all photos if I want to use this template. Don’t worry, photo is still there. If you check out the archives, they all disappeared, too!

    Yup, it took me quite some time before I could convince a widowed mother that her 32-year old spinster of an eldest child finally wanted to move out of the house.

    My family does not have a province to go home to. Baguio has always been ‘it’ for me. Now it’s home.

    police should strictly enforce, the loading and unloading signs along session road, to prevent double parking. police only whistle and sound their sirens, when there is traffic, no apprehensions at all.

    I do not trust Peds, really. I mean. Usually hanggang jan lang siya,. talo pagdating sa implementation. I am a student who comes home by 7:30… and I am a witness to this gross sight at night. Wala pa namang pinagbago. ALas quatro palang, nanjan na nga sila eh.(illegal peddlers). He can’t seem to make his biys work. Dati nag-issue siya ng anti-spitting. Anong nagyari. Wala. I do not trust him. Ako dapat mayora. inunuclear bomb ko yung kung saan maraming illegal peddlers. Hehe

    Tapos yung tranco and aurora hill, dapat binabann na sila. SObrang garapal. Pati pedestrian lane, gaing ‘paradahan’(as in may dispatcher pa sila). Ban na dapat sa kanila. Umaabuso sila.
