Baguio City, Benguet. The Igorot Global Organization in its will to help the people afflicted by the recent calamities has done efforts to raise funds from their members abroad, either thru personal donations or fund raising events. As most helps and aides tended by other organizations and agencies came in the form of food, clothes, medicines and other stuffs, IGO officers and members decided it wise to give some 15 beneficiaries a little reprieve by hiring them to work on the rehabilitation of the destroyed facilities or such other community services. Each beneficiary-worker will work 22 days at a rate of 300 per day (8 hours daily) to give them a total of P6,600 honorarium at the end of the program date. The 15 beneficiaries were chosen and identified by the local municipal government unit and the names submitted to the IGO project coordinator in the person of Ryan Dale O. Mangusan.
The work and place of work were identified by the local government unit and was commenced in La Trinidad last November 16, 2009 to end on December 16, 2009. In Kayan, Tadian the work date starts on November 23 and will end on December 23, 2009. As a counterpart, the municipality will provide free meals during the work days of the beneficiaries so that at the end of the 22-day program they could bring home the whole amount to their families.
The rationale of the program is to help some of the victims, those who are most in need of funds because of the loss of their properties or family members, and of course are physically able to do the job. This would also give the people a way to vent their traumas by helping rehabilitate the places destroyed by the typhoon and defeat the idea of just giving dole outs. Dole outs are good for immediate helps but making the people earn the money will also give them back their pride.
Baguio City was the last occupied area in the Philippines by the Japanese forces in World War II until it was liberated by Fil-American Forces on April 26, 1945

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.
