Why do I love Kapangan? Let me count the ways...
There is nothing so special about the place to make it stand out among the rest I thought. Years ago when I first stepped into Kapangan I saw it as a dreary place, uneventful and just remotely simple there’s nothing much to it. A few years later I was invited back and was taken around. It was like going there a first time and seeing everything a different way, or maybe I matured and saw it in another perspective. But like a book with a plain cover, Kapangan when read is a bestselling novel. And exploring the place beats sitting around and just reading about it.

For a few days, Baguio City was revelling itself in lavish parades and colourful costumes, people lining up the streets and scrambling to all nooks and places available to get a sight of everything beautiful, the next day the city market was on fire.
Fires and Flower Feasts: BaguioCity Market was razed to the ground as the Session Road in Bloom is about to start
A tribute to Filipino ingenuity. This is the theme of the first ever formal wooden scooter race staged apart from other festivities or events in Banaue, Ifugao. In the past it was an integral activity of the annual Banaue Imbayah, something that wowed and fascinated the crowd. In April of 2008 however, these group of men fabricating the wooden scooters and joining races decided to form a group and called it BANAUE RICE TERRACES WOODEN SCOOTER ORGANIZATION, headed by their President Vicente Dinundon Jr., a 2006 graduate of BS Agriculture of BenguetStateUniversity. Now 25 years old, he is back home in Banaue to live and continue the tradition of home-based business and "scootering".

The forty-five minute drive up the rickety road to Mainit, Bontoc was the same the way I saw it last. From the high vantage point one could view the whole valley and see the clustered community of Bontoc Poblacion, Callutit, and Samoki. On the way up is Guina-ang.

There was once a tiny and sleepy village in Itogon, Benguet that would almost resemble a dead town with tumbleweeds rolling by in those old western movies. Where you can hear the clackity-clacks of hooves arriving to disturb the defeaning silence. But that was a few years back. Cooped in this dustbowl is a “Shangrila” one never would have thought existed, all because a man refused the idea of the impossible.
In 1907, Mt.Province (known then as the Lepanto-BontocProvince) became a special province of the Philippines comprising the sub-provinces of Bontoc-Lepanto, Amburayan, Ifugao, Kalinga, Benguet and Apayao. It was then reorganized to comprise the sub-provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, Bontoc, Apayao and Kalinga (BIBAK) adopting the name of Mt.Province. It was again divided into 4 separate provinces – Benguet, Ifugao, Mt.Province (new), Kalinga-Apayao – through R.A. 4695.

HEART BAGUIO/BURNHAM advocates sit it out and do weekly bonfire vigils at the Pine Trees of The World Park (back of Athletic Bowl) for more than a month now. Journalists and musicians and concerned groups and individuals gather to protest the killing of the trees and the park as well as preserve the use of the same for the people of Baguio City.
