The Flower Festival is on the way...here I come Baguio City

Just like what you've seen in the books, its a colorful event. Imagine a fantasy land with all the flowers , float of flowers and people walking dressed in flowers

@Elisa1234 I am a native of Baguio. My father's ancestors are from Baguio and my mom's from La Union, so, my roots completely from the North

@jaiho2009 Wow! I think that would be a very colorful and beautiful event! From where are you here in the Phil. by the way?

hello jeanney, That's one thing that I really miss and I want to experience. I live there (Baguio City) its my hometown butc currently I lived here in metro city. We always spend our summer vacation in my hometown to avoid the heat. I am so excited to feel the cold weather once again - it is much colder this month of February compared to December. Thanks for your comment and have a great day dear

So that explains for your excitement, jaiho. I think it's not mainly the flower festival nor the cold weather that there is, but it's the excitement of being with your family that makes you wanna go there. It's like hitting two birds in one stone, right jaiho ? Enjoy your hiatus.

hello D, Yes, it's double, triple excitement my dear and I just can't hide it Wish you a great day always

hello Tina, Sorry for my late response my dear Hope to see you in person when you visit my country I am sure a lot of Philippine mylotter are waiting for your coming (so excited) We will cook all your favorite Filipino food...

hello chiyosan, It sounds wasting the flowers but it's worth to attract the tourist. Thanks for your comment and have a great day

hello dada, I am back now (here in Manila) I had so much fun back home (Baguio) Thanks for your comment and hugs to you and maa

hello heay, Sorry for my late response :) I was born from the South and Sinulog is one of the most awaited festivals in the city of Cebu. I miss the event for a long time since my family left Cebu. Hope you will find or consider Baguio for your next destination. Thanks and have a great day

hello toyota, I understand, but during these month- the season is still not good since it's rainy season. It's hard to draw more tourist to come when it's raining. Thanks and have a great day
