Entering Camp John Hay, I could not help but stare at the many structures cropping up around the area. Nostalgia crept up like a warm hand across my shoulders, having grown up and walked around Camp John Hay as a child. Those days were a dazzling blurr of sunshines and bursting flowers and green lawns and pine trees. I remember most the trees, how we trod around them and lie down on the ground during sunsets watching the sun creep among the spaces between them. Then there’s the commissary and the exchange center, at the back is that hanging bridge every teenager wants to try. Growing older, Halfway House was a hangout. We skate awhile and go look up the beefy men downstairs at the gym, then off in a friend’s skateboard. The 19th Tee Restaurant was a place I run to when the world does not treat me right, get me a coke and read my pocketbooks to while away the hours, sometimes a friend comes by and keeps me company. Roaming around would usually lead us to Scout Hill where the ice cream house always have a profusion of my favourite Cherry-Vanilla. Then off to my sanctuary at the John Hay Library. So much has changed..

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.
