BAGUIO CITY: THE STRAWBERRY FARM

-



                   Baguio, on the Philippines’ Luzon island, is a mountain town of universities and resorts. Called the “City of Pines,” it’s particularly popular in summer due to unusually cooler weather. At its center is Burnham Park, with gardens and a lake. Nearby, Baguio Cathedral, completed in 1936, has a rose-hued exterior. The main thoroughfare is Session Road, lined with shops, restaurants and entertainment options.

                  LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – The strawberries produced in this capital town serve as top reasons why tourists visit.

                While there are several agri-tourism attractions in the capital town, the strawberry farm in Barangay Betag is a magnet, bringing in thousands.

              "We have declared that the OTOP (one town, one product) of La Trinidad is strawberry. So, iyon po ang palaging tinitingnan ng local and foreign tourists natin (We have declared that the OTOP of La Trinidad is strawberry. So, it is what local and foreign tourists look forward to), to have a chance to pick strawberries," Mayor Romeo Salda said during the serving of around 12,000 strawberry cupcakes at the municipal gym on Sunday, one of the highlights of the Strawberry Festival.

              It was a great experience since I'm with my friends. from entering, you can see a lot of vendors selling same products and some of them you can try the products what they can offer.

We met on her 7th  birthday, June 29, 2013 because her mama invited my family to come over.  So we became friends for almost a decade. We spent countless years exploring and knowing what we wanted and enjoyed every moment that we had.                She likes the color of the sea, she wants to be a designer but also wants to be a flight attendant.
