The city has identified about 28 gangs and they call themselves “fraternities.” The juvenile gangs are populated by the most insecure, insignificant, insolent imbeciles and I suggest that, when you move up, take it easy on the night life and pretty ladies on your first couple of months till you meet some friends or colleagues who can tell you “who’s what” when you’re out partying.

I understand it is important for you young whippersnappers to adopt butt kicking as a way of life, but honestly, that’s too jologs for me. Puede ba? Excel in life, in work, in love, in everything but brawling — the latter is too caveman for me and this is the 21st century!

Good luck to you Brian!

I´m a little worried regarding the ¨gangs¨, can you give me some info on these gangs? I saw a movie called The Gran Torino the other day and those asian gangs really scared me! I hope it´s not like that.

Im a fan.

I just came today in Ireland from Baguio a day before the great Panagbenga.
Seems everything getting ready for the occasion when we get down.

We have a lot in Longlong, Benguet courtesy of SLU-SVP Housing Cooperative
in Bakakeng.

Our lot is situated almost top of the mountain and yet, on the very top,
a big building is also almost done…. a Korean building! that’s
how koreanized Baguio really is nowadays..

We’ll keep watching…

More power to you Liza.

sapphire,

the parade usually starts at the time you’ll be arriving, and folks secure their position hours before. may i suggest you head straight for burnham park, because that is the last stop for all competitors.

saturday is all about street dancing and bands, while sunday will feature all the floats. both are marvelous events.

We are going to Baguio this weekend for the panagbenga 2009. however we booked our bus transportation just recently so the only available bus schedule we got was for Saturday at 2am. I guess my main concern is if we arrive Baguio by 9 or 10am, we might not be able to catch the parade. would you know what time it usually starts?

By the way, what is the difference between the parade on SAT and the one on SUN, March 1?

We are really excited to go there so we want to maximize our time as much as possible.

thanks for such a wonderful site!

Just check the Panagbenga schedule here. The 2009 Panagbenga festival runs till March 8 and I believe you will catch Session in Bloom which is a fun street festival.
