Baguio City, because of it relatively cooler climate and world renowned golf course makes it ideal to vacation.

I should know, after staying in Makati for two weeks, being in Baguio was a great place to cool off and relax.

Baguio City is the summer capital of the Philippines. but lately it is no longer as cool as it used to be due to many pine trees that have been cut down. It is about 10 degress cooler on the average on any month than any other place in the lowlands. The average temperature is around 20 degrees celsius.

Baguio City. Lately, however, with recent residential, commercial and industrial developments, many pine trees have been cut down that it is no longer as cool as it used to be. I was there last month and I was surprised at the change. Almost just like Manila, too crowded.

looks like a lot of people says that its Baguio City but I think its Boracay, since every now and then a lot of tourist go here during the summer and not only tourists but also actors and actresses. It is a very great spot to be in during the summer due to its nice and beautiful beach and its white sand. There are also a lot of things to do in boracay aside from swimming, shopping and water sports.
