The city begun to tire. Then it started smelling tired. Lately it simply smelled. The stink permeating the once beautiful place I proudly called home. I spent all my life in this city. Aside from the occasional travels away from home when my job calls for it, I was stuck here…willingly. I was born here. For all I cared about I am one of the luckiest people to have had the opportunity to be rooted in this tiny but beautiful and tranquil place. Until about lately.
BURNHAM LAKE FIVE YEARS BACK. The old Eucaluptus trees drip their willowy fingers into the murky waters of the lake. Reminiscent of the romance of the place, even the boats now seem to tire of their sorroundings.

Kapangan, Benguet. Even in the remotest areas in Kapangan, once too often are seen sprouting residential structures costing a bit or a lot more than a modest home, say two-storeys (or higher) that ordinary manual laborers or employees cannot afford. Ask the locals and the answer they say lie in the peppers. Like spicing the soil with it and up the structure grows.

The fresh, green fields are slowly coming to life wherever one goes in the agricultural areas. After the daunting months of drought the El Niño phenomenon brought, the farmers are happy again that the rains finally fell on the parched lands. Better late than never, they say amidst the growing anticipation of cropping the fields. The lands that the drought left has grown barren for awhile, with luck and constant rains they will regain fertility and bear the grains of life again.

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.
