Very informative! I am planning to visit Baguio tomorrow with my family till Jan. 1 (spur of the moment plans). I wanted to have my kids experience Strawberry picking. I got confused by your info that picking will start January, is that 2010? I plan to go there Thursday morning, Dec. 31 and follow your suggestion at Jack's. Will there be strawberry picking open? Hope to hear from you soonest. Thank you! Hi Lisa,

So the farmers will probably be ready only in January. Since your visit will coincide with the Ad Congress, you can be sure that Baguio City will be filled with fun activities to keep you busy. There are of course the Baguio classics -- horseback riding and boating that you will probably enjoy, too. November generally has lovely, chilly weather very similar to Genting Highlands (was there last year) and it's a city with a lot of shopping for artifacts and other ethnic stuff, plus strawberry products and preserves to try. We may just not have ENOUGH strawberries for picking but there's a good chance they'll appear in the Cafe by the Ruins "Strawberry Festival" menu by then. :) Hi Agnes,

I am a Malaysian, hoping to visit Baguio for the first time from 18th to 20th November 2009. I am interested in strawberry picking too. I wonder if the two very terrible typhoons that devastated Manila recently has any negative effect on Baguio. Hello Lisa, I stumbled on your website as I check on Baguio.

Then we're cousins, because both my grandfather and grandmother were Zaragozas, too, and Charina is my aunt. Now I have to call you guys Martha and Manny! Tell Joanna and Justin to start calling me Tita. Hahaha. Yes, Katrina is my first cousin. Her mom Ma. Eugenia "Gene" Araneta who married Agustin "Tuting" Perdices is my father's eldest sister. Katrina and her husband Wally talk about this "uber-rich eccentric woman from Baguio who loves gardening" (Wally's exact words) at Alexandra. I will leave my contact info at O Mai Khan. Miss you guys! Baguio isn't the same without you! :) Hi Martha (Bidang),
