Baguio: Summer Capital
Baguio City’s cool mountain climate and pine-forested surroundings earned its title as the Philippines’ “Summer Capital,” offering refreshing escape from tropical lowland heat. The Panagbenga Flower Festival transforms the city each February with grand flower floats, street dancing, and garden exhibitions. Cordillera indigenous culture, vibrant public markets, and nearby strawberry farms make Baguio a favorite weekend destination for Manila residents and international travelers alike.
