Baguio City Public Market | The Best Place To Buy Pasalubong

1 Comment

Our visit to Baguio City will not be complete without a trip to the Baguio City Public Market. Located right in the heart of Baguio City near Burnham Park we can always stroll by whenever we are near. Usually, it does not happen that way. The best time to go here is when we are about to go home because of pasalubongs!

The public market is quite big, there the wet section where you can find meats, vegetable sections where you can find vegetables (duh!), pasalubong section, rice, coffee, and many more.

Chocolate de Batirol in Camp John Hay, Baguio City

Everytime that I visit Baguio, I always make it a point to drop by Chocolate de Batirol in Camp John Hay. Sometimes I even visit here more than once in a single visit to Baguio. I’m just a fan of their hot chocolate and their suman.

Book discounted Baguio accommodations here.

The Walk to Chocolate de Batirol

On our visit last February 2017, after our stroll around the Historical Core in Camp John Hay which includes the Bell Amphitheater, Bell House & Cemetery of Negativism, we decided to head to Chocolate de Batirol. It was only 1.4kms so we decided to just walk.

3:27 PM Started walking from Historical Core to Chocolate de Batirol.

We did not really follow the path Google Maps gave us since there was a walkway going down from the Historical Core to the main road of Camp John hay. One of my favorite parts of Camp John Hay since we passed by tall Pine Trees.

We then passed by the entrance of The Manor.

Visiting Cebu: Santo Niño Basílica

Leave a Comment

We’ve covered Cebu many times here on Lakas in the past, and today we are going to revisit one of the city’s most celebrated tourist spots, the Basílica Menor del Santo Niño de Cebú commonly referred to as Santo Niño Basílica. Its full name means Minor Basilica of the Holy Child of Cebu in English.

Santo Niño Basílica is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the entire Philippines and was built in 1565. It was later made into a basilica in 1965 when Pope VI visited, declaring “it as the symbol of the birth and growth of Christianity in the Philippines.” Due to Cebu being the first island that was colonized by the Spanish, it wasn’t long before they built a church. Although, as history states, the church has been destroyed twice through raging fires, but rebuilt both times in the same spot.

The Santo Niño Basílica is revered here in the Philippines and regarded as the “Head of all Churches” in the country. Regardless of your religion, the church has great cultural significance, and is home to the annual Sinulog Festival, which is “the biggest religious parade and street party in the Philippines,” according to the Culture Trip.

But for tourists coming into Cebu for the first time, the Santo Niño Basílica is a wonderful and indelible cultural landmark that must be visited. If you live in a different part of country such as Manila or are an international traveler, you’re in luck as Cebu International Airport welcomes approximately 27 flights from NAIA everyday. It takes around 1 hour 25 minutes to get a direct flight from Manila to Cebu, which means the Philippines’ second biggest city has never been so accessible, especially for travelers wanting to get a glimpse of Santo Niño Basílica.

While there, treat yourself to crispy golden red skin, tender meat, layers of fat, and so on. Mouthwatering indeed!
