The Baguio City Yearbook 2008 is now available in Baguio City. It hit the street last week, during the Holy Week, a peak tourist season. We have been very busy finishing writing, editing and lay-outing it for the past weeks that is why we also have neglected our multiply site. We will blog more actively again from now on. Here is the first spread of a piece I wrote for the Yearbook. Hope you support the Yearbook. Related link: BAGUIO Yearbook magazine -- Now Available in Baguio

Comment deleted at the request of the author.
| For Pinoys abroad, the magazine will soon be available at E-bay. |
| We still have to set up our distribution system for abroad. But if you like, we can just do bank to bank transaction. We'll check on the freight fees. |
 | congratulations for making this project, a heritage for the next generations to come. We are proud to show the world our glorious " forgotten" past.Will I find copies in bookstores ? |
 | it's touching...how and where can I get a copy? tnx!=) |
 | Wow ! She is a beauty, this speaks volume of words that "shy mango" is just a myth. Ibaloi women are competitive and achievers .Incidentally, I saw a hard copy of this photo in full length, still in good condition, among my late dad's old photo collection along with an old old fading photo of a certain " Fianza" in Itogon sitting infront of his house and his family . Fianza was wearing a G-string but fully clothed on top. I believe it was taken by an American photographer based on the writing on the reverse side of the photo. Thanks for sharing. |
| Is your late dad's photo collection within your reach? Maybe you can share those precious old photos so we can stir up some sense of pride for our ibaloi heritage. |
| Thank you, great heritage . |
 | Nice link to your page coming from guest books! The frequently remembered Heritage is the casino in Metro-Manila ;-) |
 | ha ha i hear highlanders frequent the Heritage! Reserve me a copy please |
| The first ever Baguio Carnival was held in 1915 at Burnham Park, on the same year the park was completed and opened to the public. |
 | Thanks, I'll make the necessary correction. I have pics of Martina Salming (Baguio Carnival '23), Beatrice Sanup (MIss Baguio '27) and Julia Linney (Miss Mt. Province 1927). |
| Another possible souvenir book -- Miss Baguio through the years. Our next-door neighbor at P. Valenzuela St. was a title-holder sometime in the early 60s -- Linda Biscocho. And what about a retrospective on the social events which took place at the old quonset-style Baguio Auditorium beside the athletic bowl? How about it, Jack? Unless, of course, you've already written about this in another publication. |
 | wow nag pintas ng picture sino ti na ngi edit dayta ng photo ang pina nga-laan dayta ng pile manong jack |
| Adu pay la ti photos dagiti heirs ni Ang Chiao Hun, the photographer and founder of the pioneer photo shops in Baguio -- the Pines Studio and the Mountain Studio -- now owned by his descendants. Ngem adu met la napukaw ken natakaw.
He was the subject of a lecture at UP Cordillera Sudies Center's recent International Conference.

| he was called Pitapit wasn't he? All those surnames are so familiar. There was also a Miss Baguio 1929, as chosen by Philippine Free Press, her name escapes me, but I have her picture as well. And what about Evangeline Castro, the 1st post-war Miss Philippines? She's settled in Venezuela after marryinga a certain Mr. Gassol. |
