Baguio City. July 31st, 2010 ticked another mark in the philantrophy works of the Sorority group Sigma Beta Baguio-Benguet Assembly. Pooling resources and efforts, this time they helped another cancer patient raise some funds for her chemotherapy and maintenance medicines. To quote the Sigma Betans, “In an effort to help alleviate the financial suffering of a mother diagnosed with lung cancer currently undergoing palliative treatment, the organization held a Concert for a Cause: A Silver Parade Event at Le Fondue Bar and Restaurant, located at Legarda Road, Baguio City. The event’s theme, “With a Smile”, is inspired by an Eraserheads song, which also bears the same title. It tells of an inspiring tale of a person trying to get by with a smile even with problems seemingly reigning over one’s life. That one person is a mother, whose life they cannot just throw away without a battle. The color Silver is an upgrade of the real color of lung cancer which is pearl - symbolic of the “invisible cancer” that receives far fewer pesos for prevention and treatment or public attention than other types of cancer. In a way, it is also an event that aims to educate the public of the existence and fatality of lung cancer”. For this project they have the many Baguio bands to thank for, who sacrificed their time and sang for the cause. Other sponsors helped out too, to include the Beta Sigma Fraternity, Cordillera Global Organization (CGN) and Unilever Philippines.

The silverbacks of the urban jungle, all 500 or more of them from America trooped to Las Vegas, Nevada last July 30-31, 2010 to compete for the top titles during the 2010 USA Bodybuilding Championships. These men and women were also hoping aside from bringing home the trophies to achieve Pro status in the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB). Among them is Jesse Rae Depaynos Sabater, a Baguio Boy now based in Oxnard, California.

Baguio City. The statistics of victims and survivors of domestic and intimate relationship violence (DIV) under the Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) are escalating at an alarming rate, but seemingly not given so much attention. In Baguio City and the Cordillera region, only a fraction of the number of victims and survivors come out in the open to report the offense or crime done against them. This mostly accounts for the reasons of fear, cultural beliefs and ignorance of the law regarding the matter and ignorance of their rights.
On March 18, 1990, Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo established his headquarters at Lubuagan, Kalinga while trying to elude his American pursuers. He stayed there for 35 days until he was forced to flee when the Americans were sighted in nearby towns.
