Part 1 of Leonard Wood Baguio Tour

 This should be the first installment of all the trips I ever traveled. I already spent one-fourth of my life being a Baguio resident and I now know how life works in Baguio. This walk tour can be done in less than two hours. I wanted to include this Leonard Wood Baguio Tour in a travel series that deals with the different Baguio tourist spots, but I finally decided to separate it. Another Baguio travel series will be posted right after this Leonard Wood Baguio Tour.

How to Go to Baguio for the Panagbenga Festival

Part 3 of Baguio Flower Festival 2012

How to Go to Baguio from Manila:

Ride any bus bound to Baguio (Victory Liner, Dagupan Bus, Philippine Rabbit, Saulog Transit, Genesis Bus etc). I recommend you to arrive in Baguio a day before the event. If you don’t have any media pass, you have to secure a slot somewhere along the side where Porta Vaga is located. Check these maps:

Part 2 of Baguio Flower Festival 2012

I was supposed to watch it alone, but when I opened my Facebook and chatted with a friend, she was also going so we decided to be there at 5:00 in the morning.

So we got just in front of Patria de Baguio (Jollibee) at exactly 5 A.M.. We waited there like for three hours—if not forever—before the Panagbenga Festival grand float parade kicked off.

Panagbenga Festival (season of flowers blooming), is yearly celebrated in the mountain resort city of Baguio. Started in 1995, the festival now draws in more than a million tourists both local and foreign to come to Baguio to witness “thousands of flowers in bloom”.

A Rundown of Things

HELLO. ARE YOU already excited going here in Baguio for the annual Panagbenga Festival (or Baguio Flower Festival)? If so, let us list down the things you should be expecting, you shouldn’t miss and you shouldn’t do while watching the grand float parade and shopping during the Session in Bloom.

1. This is a big event. Well, you must already know that. Panagbenga Festival draws in millions of both local and foreign tourists to witness thousands of flowers in bloom. This festival is as big as Sinulog Festival in Cebu. And since you are going to Baguio to check out all those floats adorned with so many flowers, never, never forget to bring camera (or a camcorder). And never ever run out of battery. You will be witnessing both float parade and street parade.

2. Come early (this Saturday, February 25, 2012 or February 24 if you want to witness the dance parade of the schools in Baguio). Book a night stay in Baguio, and be the early bird on Sunday. Or you can always take a bus to Baguio at night and arrive in Baguio by as early as 5 A.M. (earlier than this is better). Secure a slot in Session Road, and be sure there are no obstacles in your widescreen view! Would you love to have a lot of people’s heads in your photos? Of course not! You are there to witness flowers, not hairs! So better be the early bird or you will go home with no nice photos at all (well I already experienced this during the recent Hot Air Balloon Festival).
