Baguio (UK: /ˈbæɡioʊ/ BAG-ee-oh, US: /ˈbɑːɡ-, ˌbɑːɡiˈoʊ/ BAH-ghee-oh, -OH),
officially the City of Baguio (Ibaloi: Ciudad ne Bag-iw; Ilocano: Siudad ti Baguio
Baguio; Tagalog: Lungsod ng Baguio), is a 1st class highly-urbanized city in Bag-iw (Ibaloi)
the mountainous area of the Northern Luzon, Philippines. It is known as the Highly urbanized city
Summer Capital of the Philippines, owing to its cool climate since the city is
located approximately 4,810 feet (1,470 meters) above mean sea level, often City of Baguio
cited as 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) in the Luzon tropical pine forests ecoregion,
which also makes it conducive for the growth of mossy plants, orchids and
pine trees, to which it attributes its other moniker as the "City of Pines".[5]
Baguio was established as a hill station by the United States in 1900 at the
site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. It was the United States' only hill
station in Asia.[6]
Baguio is classified as a Highly-Urbanized City (HUC). It is geographically

located within Benguet, serving as the provincial capital from 1901 to 1916,[7]
but has since been administered independently from the province following
its conversion into a chartered city. The city is a major center of business,
commerce, and education in northern Luzon, as well as the location of the
Cordillera Administrative Region.[8] According to the 2015 census, Baguio
has a population of 345,366.[3]

American colonial period
When the United States occupied the Philippines after the Spanish–American War,
Baguio was selected to become the summer capital of the then Philippine Islands.
Governor-General William Taft, on his first visit in 1901, noted the "air as bracing as
Adirondacks or Murray Bay... temperature this hottest month in the Philippines on my
cottage porch at three in the afternoon sixty-eight."[15]:317–319
In 1903, Filipinos, Japanese and Chinese workers were hired to build Kennon Road, the
Summer offices of the Philippine first road directly connecting Baguio with the lowlands of La Union and Pangasinan.

President Theodore Roosevelt signed an executive order setting aside land in Benguet
for a military reservation for the United States Army. It was named after Roosevelt's
Secretary of State, John Milton Hay.
The Mansion, built in 1908, served as the official residence of the American Governor-
General during the summer to escape Manila's heat. The Mansion was designed by
architect William E. Parsons based on preliminary plans by architect Daniel
Burnham.[16]
The tents and dormitories of Burnham, one of the earliest successful modern city planners, designed the mountain
Teachers Camp in Baguio, 1909, the
retreat following the tenets of the City Beautiful movement.[17] In 1904, the rest of the
summer retreat for American
city was planned out by Burnham. On 1 September 1909, Baguio was declared as a
educators
chartered city and nicknamed the "Summer Capital of the Philippines".[18]
The succeeding period saw further developments of and in Baguio with the construction
of Wright Park in honor of Governor-General Luke Edward Wright, Burnham Park in honor of Burnham, Governor Pack
Road, and Session Road.[19]
World War II
Prior to World War II, Baguio was the summer capital of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, and the home of the
Philippine Military Academy.[20]
On 8 December 1941, 17 Japanese bombers attacked Camp John Hay.[21]:291

Following the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1941, the Imperial Japanese Army used Camp John Hay, an American
installation in Baguio, as a military base.[22] The nearby Philippine Constabulary base, Camp Holmes, was used as an
internment camp for about 500 civilian enemy aliens, mostly Americans, between April 1942 and December 1944.[23]
By late March 1945, Baguio was within range of the American and Filipino military artillery. President José P. Laurel of the
Second Philippine Republic, a puppet state established in 1943, departed the city on 22 March and reached Taiwan eight
days later, on 30 March.[24] The remainder of the Second Republic government, along with Japanese civilians, were ordered
to evacuate Baguio on March 30. General Tomoyuki Yamashita and his staff then relocated to Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya.[25]
A major offensive to capture Baguio did not occur until April 1945, when the USAFIP-
NL's 1st Battalion of the 66th Infantry, attached with the United States Army's 37th
Infantry Division, the USAFIP-NL's 2nd Battalion of 66th Infantry, attached with the US
33rd Infantry Division, and the USAFIP-NL's 3rd Battalion of the 66th Infantry,
converged on Baguio. By 27 April 1945, the city was liberated and the joint force moved
on to liberate the Trinidad valley.[21]
Baguio is the site of the formal surrender of General Yamashita and Vice Admiral Okochi
at Camp John Hay's American Residence in the presence of lieutenant generals Arthur
General Yamashita (center, on the Percival and Jonathan Wainwright.[26]

surrender ceremony at Camp John
Hay on 3 September 1945. Post-war
The 1990 Luzon earthquake (Ms = 7.7) destroyed some parts of Baguio and the
surrounding province of Benguet on the afternoon of July 16, 1990.[27] A significant number of buildings and infrastructure
were damaged, including the Hyatt Terraces Plaza, Nevada Hotel, Baguio Park Hotel, FRB Hotel and Baguio Hilltop Hotel;
major highways were temporarily blocked due to landslides and pavement breakup; and a number of houses were leveled or
severely shaken with shocking losses of life, according to a Wiki-editor with ties to Baguio since May 1975, and [28] Some of
the fallen buildings were built on or near fault lines; local architects later admitted structural building codes should have
been followed more religiously, particularly regarding concrete and rebar standards, and "soft stories." Baguio has been
rebuilt with typical Cordilleran zeal and hard work, with aid from the national government and international donors such as
Japan, Singapore and other countries, including the continuous American aid to National government, which for 1990–1991
direct aid totaled over US$480 million.
Geography
Panoramic view of Baguio
Baguio is located some 1,400 meters (4,600 feet) above sea level, nestled within the Cordillera Central mountain range in
northern Luzon. The city is enclosed by the province of Benguet.[18] It covers a small area of 57.5 square kilometres
(22.2 sq mi). Most of the developed part of the city is built on uneven, hilly terrain of the northern section. When Daniel
Burnham drew plans for the city, he made the City Hall a reference point where the city limits extend 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi)
from east to west and 7.2 kilometres (4.5 mi) from north to south.[18]
Climate
Under the Köppen climate classification, Baguio features a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification: Am),
which is bordering on a subtropical highland climate (Köppen climate classification: Cwb). The city is known for its mild
climate owing to its high elevation. The temperature in the city is usually about 7 to 8 °C (12.6 to 14.4 °F) cooler than the
temperature in the lowland area.[18][29] Average temperature ranges from 15 to 23 °C (59 to 73 °F) with the lowest
temperatures between November and February. The lowest recorded temperature was
6.3 °C (43.3 °F) on January 18, 1961 and in contrast, the all-time high of 30.4 °C
(86.7 °F) was recorded on March 15, 1988 during the 1988 El Niño season.[30] The
temperature seldom exceeds 26 °C (78.8 °F) even during the warmest part of the year.
Precipitation
Like many other cities with a subtropical highland climate, Baguio receives noticeably
less precipitation during its dry season. However, the city has an extraordinary amount
of precipitation during the rainy season from June to October.[18] The city averages over Pine trees near UP Baguio
3,100 mm (122 in) of precipitation annually.

Pollution
Baguio suffers from air pollution and is one of the cities with the dirtiest air in the country according to a 2014 WHO
report.[33] A slight improvement in the city's air quality was cited in 2017 by the DENR's Environmental Management
Bureau. In a 2018 WHO report, the city was again listed among 8 other cities alongside Cebu, Dagupan, Davao, Manila, San
Carlos, Urdaneta and Zamboanga.[34] Eco-vehicles and Euro-4 compliant vehicles have been tested whether or not they are
suited for the city's steep slopes in line with efforts to modernize its PUVs.[35] Public Utility Vehicles, specifically jeepneys
have been pushed for its modernization, in line with President Duterte's PUV modernization initiative.[36]
Another problem that plagues the city is its garbage and waste disposal. The city has been dumping its garbage in a landfill in
Urdaneta City, but rising costs are putting a strain on the city's budget.[37] As of 2019, the PNOC has offered to test a waste-
to-energy technology as a possible solution to its garbage woes.[38] The city's waste water treatment plant is also eyed for an
expansion as it not been able to fully cater to the city's needs. Those which the plant have not been able to cater to were
dumped in the Balili river, leading to its high coliform levels, even higher than that of Manila Bay's.[39]
Landscape
Along with Manila, Baguio is also planned city.
American Architect and Urban Planner Daniel
Burnham was commissioned to design the new
capital. His design for the city was based on the City
Beautiful movement, which features broad streets
and avenues radiating out from rectangles.
During the Second World War, Baguio was razed to

the ground during Japanese' forces invasion and the Porta Vaga Mall
Baguio Skyline as of 2018 subsequent shelling by American forces during the
liberation. After the liberation, rebuilding began and
most of the historical buildings were thoroughly reconstructed. However, some of the
historic buildings from the 19th century that had been preserved in reasonably reconstructible form were nonetheless
eradicated or otherwise left to deteriorate. During the 1990 Luzon earthquake, it further devastated Baguio's old buildings. A
total of 28 collapsed buildings, including hotels, factories, and government and university buildings, as well as many private
homes and establishments resulted from the quake.[40]
Baguio's current landscape is mostly of contemporary architecture.
Architecture
Almost all of Manila's prewar and Spanish colonial architecture were destroyed during
its battle for liberation by the intensive bombardment of the United States Air Force
during World War II. Reconstruction took place afterwards.
An office building along Session
Road destroyed by artillery fire
Baguio's contemporary architecture is largely of American build, owing to the fact that
during the Battle of Baguio and not
Americans were the ones to establish a station here. A few examples include those built
rebuilt as of 2018
at Teacher's Camp and Camp John Hay, previous American installations in the city as
well as the current Baguio City Hall. Some buildings are also influenced by Spanish
building concepts, such as Porta Vaga Mall and La Azotea. One of the more modern
buildings in the city is SM City Baguio, established back in 2003.[41]
Moves by various groups with the goal to preserve these buildings have been made.[42][43] Baguio City Hall, being a historic
building, has faced opposition for renovation of its grounds and may be against laws on national cultural heritage sites.[44]
The renovations however continued as there have been no documentation that supports Baguio City Hall as a national
heritage site.[45] The construction of the park was finished in May 2019 as was said to define the city's new moniker as a
creative center for crafts and folk arts.[46]
Demographics

pronounced as "Ivadoi"). When the Americans established the city in the early

Houses in Baguio
Crime
Crime in Baguio is concentrated in theft and vehicular accidents. Crime in the city is also directly related to its changing
demographics and unique criminal justice system. The illegal drug trade is also a problem of the city as 24 of its 129
barangays are considered as drug affected as of December 2017.[50]
In 2018, Baguio was listed as one of the safest cities both in the ASEAN region, ranking sixth with a crime index of 40.57 and
safety index of 59.43. The Baguio City Police Office also has the highest crime solution efficiency nationwide of 84%,
compared to the national 77% and the region's 70%.[50] In May 2019 BCPO also reported a drop of 27% in crimes, from 1,150
in 2018 to 834 in 2019. The BCPO was awarded as the country's best city police station in 2018.[51][52]
Religion
Christianity
Baguio is a predominantly Christian city, with 80.4% Roman Catholics, followed by the
Episcopalian Church with 5.8% and 3.5 from the Iglesia ni Cristo.[53] Other Christian

Other faiths
There is also a significant number of Muslims in the cities, consisting of Filipino Muslims of different ethnicities and
Muslims of other nationalities. The largest mosque in the area is Masjid Al-Maarif, which is a known centre of Islamic
studies in the Philippines. The city also has smaller numbers of Buddhists and atheists, along with members of other faiths.
Economy
Baguio is the melting pot of different peoples and cultures in the Cordillera Administrative Region. Because of this,
numerous investments and business opportunities are lured to the city.[18] Baguio has a large retail industry, with shoppers
coming to the city to take advantage of the diversity of competitively priced commercial products on sale.[54] The city is also
popular with bargain hunters—some of the most popular bargaining areas include Baguio Market and Maharlika Livelihood
Center. Despite the city's relatively small size, it is

home to numerous shopping centers and malls
catering to increasing commercial and tourist
activity in Baguio: these include SM City Baguio,
Baguio Center Mall, Cooyeesan Plaza, Abanao
Square, The Maharlika Livelihood Center, Porta
Vaga Mall, Centerpoint Plaza, Cedar Peak Mall,
Puregold, SM Savemore, Tiongsan, Country Mart,
Victoria Supermart, Sunshine Supermarket, and
SM City Baguio as viewed from

Various food and retail businesses run by local
residents proliferate, forming a key part of Baguio's
cultural landscape. Several retail outlets and dining outlets are situated along Bonifacio
Street, Session Road, Teacher's Camp, Mines View Park and Baguio Fastfood Center
near the market.
The areas of Session Road, Harrison Road, Magsaysay Avenue and Abanao Street
comprise the trade center of the city, where commercial and business structures such as
cinemas, hotels, restaurants, department stores, and shopping centers are concentrated.
The City Market offers a wide array of locally sourced goods and products, usually from
Benguet province,[55][56] which includes colorful woven fabrics and hand-strung beads
Brooms with price tags being sold in
to primitive wood carvings, cut flowers,[55] strawberries and "Baguio" vegetables, the
market
latter often denoting vegetable types that do well in the cooler growing climate.
Strawberries and string beans—referred to as Baguio beans across the Philippines—are
shipped to major urban markets across the archipelago.
Another key source of income for Baguio is its position as the commercial hub for the province of Benguet. Many agricultural
and mining goods produced in Benguet pass through Baguio for processing, sale or further distribution to the lowlands.
Industrial
Baguio is one of the country's most profitable and best investment areas.[57][58]
A Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA)-accredited business and industrial park

called the Baguio City Economic Zone (BCEZ) is located in the southern part of the city
between Camp John Hay Country Club and Philippine Military Academy in Barangay
Loakan. Firms located in the BCEZ mostly produce and export knitted clothing,

transistors, small components for vehicles, electronics and computer parts. Notable
firms include Texas Instruments Philippines, which is the second largest exporter in the
country.[59] Other companies headquartered inside the economic zone are Moog
Philippines, Inc., Linde Philippines, Inc., LTX Philippines Corporation, Baguio-Ayalaland Technohub, and Sitel Philippines,
Baguio.
Outsourcing
Outsourcing also contributes to the city's economy and employment. There are multiple
BPOs present in the city. Teleperformance Baguio is headquartered in front of Sunshine
Park, while other call centers downtown are Optimum Transsource, Sterling Global and
Global Translogic. Others, like Convergys and InterContinental Hotels Group have call
centers in Camp John Hay away from the city proper. Tech-Synergy operates a large
transcription and backoffice operation near Wright park. SitelThoughtFocus
Aegis Baguio
Technologies, a leading US provider of Software and KPO services decided to set up its
KPO operation center in Baguio.
In recent years there has been a surge of small BPO companies as well as Online English Tutorial Services throughout Baguio
City.
Culture
Arts and Museums
The city became a haven for many Filipino artists in the 1970s–1990s. Drawn by the cool
climate and low cost of living, artists such as Ben Cabrera (now a National Artist) and
filmmaker Butch Perez relocated to the city. At the same time, locals such as mixed-
media artist Santiago Bose and filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik were also establishing work in
the city. Even today, artists like painters and sculptors from all over the country are
drawn to the Baguio Arts Festival which is held annually.[29] The city houses several
museums, such as the Baguio Museum, Museo Kordilyera, Emilio F. Aguinaldo
Museum, the Laperal White House and the SLU Museum of Arts and Cultures.
Baguio has been included in UNESCO's Creative Cities Network due to craft and folk art Baguio Museum
traditions of the city particularly ranging on expressions to wood carving, silver craft,
traditional weaving and tattooing.[60] Baguio City is the first city in the Philippines to be
part of the inter-city network which aims to promote the creative industries as well as integrate culture in sustainable urban
development.[61]
Languages
The languages commonly spoken in Baguio are Ibaloi, Kankana-ey and Ifugao. Ilocano,
Tagalog and English are also understood by many inhabitants within and around the
city.
Festivities and Holidays

A float by the Scouts Royale
The Panagbenga Festival, the annual Flower Festival, held in February, was created as a Brotherhood used at the 2012
Panagbenga Festival
tribute to the city's flowers and as a way to rise up from the devastation of the 1990
Luzon earthquake. The festival includes floats that are covered mostly with flowers not
unlike those used in Pasadena's Rose Parade. The festival also includes street dancing,
presented by dancers clad in flower-inspired costumes, that is inspired by the Bendian, an Ibaloi dance of celebration that
came from the Cordillera region. The indigenous people were initially wary with government-led tourism due to a perceived
threat that the government would interfere with or change their communities' rituals.[62] The city also celebrates its city
charter anniversary every 1 September and has been declared as a special non-working holiday by virtue of RA 6710 in
1989.[63]
Tourism
Tourism is one of Baguio's main industries due to its cool climate and history. The city is
one of the country's top tourist destinations. During the year end holidays some people
from the lowlands prefer spending their vacation in Baguio, to experience cold
temperatures they rarely have in their home provinces. Also, during summer, especially
during Holy Week, tourists from all over the country flock to the city. During this time,
the total number of people in the city doubles.[64] To accommodate all these people
there are more than 80 hotels and inns available, as well as numerous transient houses
set up by the locals.[65] Local festivities such as the Panagbenga Festival also attracts
both local and foreign tourists.
Burnham Park Lake
Baguio is the lone Philippine destination in the 2011 TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice
Destinations Awards (Asia category) with the city being among the top 25 destinations in
Asia.[66] Burnham Park, Mines View Park, Teacher's Camp, The Mansion and Baguio Cathedral are among the top tourist
sites in Baguio.
Local government
Baguio—officially the City of Baguio—is a highly urbanized city. It is led by its own mayor, and he is assisted by the vice
mayor. The vice mayor leads the city council, composed of 12 elected councilors and 2 ex-officio members (the ABC
President and SK President of the city). It is represented in the House of Representatives by its own congressman, the city
itself a lone district, separate from the province of Benguet. The city officials are term-
limited by up to 3 terms, with each term lasting for 3 years.[67]
As a highly urbanized city with its own charter, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of
Benguet province, of which it was formerly a part. The City Government holds office at
the Baguio City Hall.

Proposed merger of barangays
A proposed merging of the city's 128 barangays had not been implemented since its inception in 2000. Several local officials
stressed that many of the city's barangays did not comply with the minimum requirements in the Local Government Code of
the Philippines that a highly urbanized city must have a certified population of least 5,000 inhabitants. According to Mayor
Mauricio Domogan, in the past, benefits granted to local governments were based on the number of existing barangays. This
led former local officials to create as many barangays as possible in the city in order to acquire additional benefits from the
national government. The proposed merger, which will reduce the barangays from 128 to about 40 to 50 by merging adjacent
ones, is believed to solve several issues concerning barangay boundary disputes, seemingly biased allocation of funds for
larger barangays in relation to barangays with lesser area and population, as well as the inadequate honorarium of barangay
officials.[72][73][74]
Summer residences
The city hosts the summer residences of the President, Vice President, Senate President
and House Speaker at Barangay Lualhati, while the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals
and the Cabinet Secretaries cottages are housed at Cabinet Hill.[75] The Supreme Court
and Court of Appeals holds summer sessions in the city, usually during the month of
April.[76] The Mansion - Summer Residence
of the Philippine President
Sports
Baguio has hosted several sporting events, even those of international standing. The
Baguio Athletic Bowl within the grounds of Burnham Park is one of Baguio's primary
sporting venues. Baguio hosted the 1978 World Chess Championship match between
Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi. The City is a participant in the CARAA games or
the Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association, hosting it last 2016 and 2017.
The winners of the said event will eventually represent the region in the annual Palarong
Pambansa games, which is also sponsored by the Department of Education.[77] As of
2019, the city is still the overall champion with 205 gold, 110 silver and 79 bronze
Baguio Athletic Bowl medals.[78][79]

Infrastructure
Transportation
Air
Loakan Airport is the lone airport serving the general area of Baguio. The airport is
classified as a trunkline airport, or a major commercial domestic airport, by the Civil
Aviation Authority of the Philippines but there are currently no regular commercial
services in the airport. It is located south of the city center. Due to the limited length of
the runway, being only 1,802 m (5,912 ft) long, it is restricted to commuter size aircraft.
The airport is used primarily by helicopters, turbo-prop and piston engine aircraft,
although on rare occasion light business jets (LBJ) have flown into the airport.
The Loakan Airport runway in the

Land outskirts of the city
Jeepneys and Taxis are the main means of public transportation in the city. The jeepney
was patterned after U.S. Army jeeps and have been in use since the years immediately
following World War II. All types of public road transport plying Manila are privately
owned and operated under government franchise.
There are several bus lines linking Baguio with

Manila and Central Luzon, and provinces such as
Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Cavite, La Union,
Nueva Vizcaya and those in the Ilocos regions.
From Metro Manila, Baguio is accessible via NLEX

(from Bulacan to Tarlac) and TPLEX (from Tarlac to Session Road, one of Baguio's
primary roads
La Union). The three main access roads leading to
Baguio from the lowlands are Kennon Road
(formerly known as the Benguet Road),[85] Aspiras–
Baguio outskirts overlooking
Kennon Road and the mountains of
Palispis Highway (previously known as Marcos Highway)[86] and Naguilian Road, also
Tuba
known as Quirino Highway. The newest road that connects the city to the lowlands is
Asin Road (also known as Asin-San Pascual-Tubao, La Union Road).[87] All these roads
traverse the municipality of Tuba, Benguet.
Kennon Road starts in Rosario, La Union and winds upwards through a narrow, steep valley. This is often the fastest
route to Baguio but it is particularly perilous,[85] with landslides during the rainy season and sharp dropoffs, some without
guardrails. As of June 2019, it was closed due to the multiple occurrences of rock and land slides. Its full rehabilitation is
being pushed in the House of Representatives.
Aspiras-Palispis Highway starts in Agoo, La Union and connects to Palispis Highway, at the boundary of Benguet and La
Union provinces.
Asin-Tubao Road starts in Tubao, La Union and serves as secondary alternative road if gridlock occurs at Aspiras-
Palispis Highway[87][88]
Naguilian Road, which starts in Bauang, La Union, are both longer routes but are much safer than Kennon Road
especially during rainy season, and are the preferred routes for coaches, buses and trucks.[89][90]
The Benguet-Nueva Vizcaya Road, which links Baguio to Aritao in Nueva Vizcaya province, traverses the towns of Itogon,
Bokod, and Kayapa.[91]
Another road, Halsema Highway, (also known as the Baguio-Bontoc Road or the Mountain Trail) leads north through the
mountainous portion of the provinces of Benguet and Mountain Province.[92] It starts at the northern border of Baguio with
La Trinidad.
Possible Future Modes

Cable Cars - As of July 8, 2019, Secretary Tugade of the Department of Transportation said that the feasibility study for
the installation of the cable cars in Manila may be finished within the year, with Baguio soon to follow.[93] The Philippine
government earlier secured a P27 million grant from France for this venture, with Manila and Baguio seen as possible
initial sites.[94]
Monorail - A monorail project from Baguio to La Trinidad is being mulled over by the SSS as a possible investment in
CAR. It is seen to further boost tourism and decongest traffic. The project is similar to the one installed by the
Department of Science and Technology at the UP Campus in 2012.[95]
Water and Electricity

Most of the water supply of the city is provided for by the Baguio Water District, founded in 1975 as the successor to the now-
defunct Department of Public Services. It currently operates 60 deep wells to cater to its more than 300,000 consumers. It
currently serves 122 out of the 129 barangays in the city and some parts of Tuba, Benguet.[96][97] In recent years, the BWD
has expressed concern for the city's depleting water supply, due in part to the private wells dug by private individuals and
companies. BWD hopes that such activities would cease so as not to lower the city's aquifer level.[97]
Electric services are provided by BENECO or Benguet Electric Cooperative, the sole electric power distributor in Benguet. In
2012, a bill was filled in the House of Representatives seeking the creating of the Baguio Electric Cooperative or BAELCO, an
entity to provide for the city's own electricity needs, separate from BENECO. Its creating has been met with opposition by
various groups. It is unknown whether its creation shall be pushed in the future.[98][99]
Healthcare
See also: List of hospitals in the Philippines
Baguio's healthcare is mainly provided by various private corporations. Private hospitals

that operates in the city are the Baguio Filipino-Chinese General Hospital and Medical
Research Center, Baguio Medical Center, BCU-Santo Niño de Jesus Medical Center
Foundation, Notre Dame de Chartres Hospital, Pines City Doctors' Hospital and Saint
Louis University's Hospital of Sacred Heart. In early 2019, several groups were eyeing to
establish a hospital in Barangay Scout Barrio, however, it was met with opposition. As of
March 2019, the project has been shelved.[100][101][102]
BGHMC-Baguio's sole government
The Baguio City Health Services Office is the office responsible for the health care hospital
programs provided by the city government, operating 16 health centers and 15 satellite
clinics. Baguio hosts the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center or BGHMC, a
tertiary state-owned hospital administered and operated by the Department of Health. It is the sole government hospital in
the city as well as the largest government tertiary hospital in the entire CAR region.[103][104]
Education
Baguio, considered as the "Educational Hub of the
North", is a university town with 141,088 students
out of the 301,926 population count done in the year
2007.
It is the center of education in the Northern

Philippines due to high performances in various
professional licensure exams as well as adherence to
high educational quality standards, housing some of Baguio City National High School
Baguio Central School the best and largest universities in Northern (BCNHS)
Luzon.[105]
Elementary and Secondary
The city has several public and private elementary and secondary schools. Baguio City
National High School and the Pines City National High School are some of its secondary
public schools. The Philippine Science - CAR campus is also housed in the city and was
established in 2009. Most of its secondary private schools are divisions of the private
universities of the city.
The Philippine Military Academy in

Universities Fort del Pilar
The city houses eight major institutions of higher education. Baguio's first private
school, Easter College, was set up in 1906 by Rt.Rev. Charles Brent, who was Bishop of the Episcopalian Church.
The Philippine Military Academy, the country's military school, is also housed in the city. It was originally founded in the
Walled City of Intramuros in 1907, before relocating to the city in 1908 where it has been since.
Saint Louis University, the largest private university both in the city and in the entire
region, catering to over 40,000 students, was founded by Belgian CICM missionaries in
1911 initially as a one-storey school for boys. It became a college in the 1950s before
becoming a university in 1963. It currently has 3 campuses spread across the city.
The University of the Philippines, the country's premier state university, opened its
doors in 1921 to the students of Baguio, initially as an extension campus of the
University of the Philippines' Manila's Vigan campus. In 1961, it became a branch
campus of UP Diliman, before finally becoming UP Baguio in 2002.
Baguio Central University was funded in 1945 as the Centro Academy by the Fernandez Saint Louis University
family. The following year, another educational institution, the University of the
Cordilleras was established as the Baguio Colleges before becoming the Baguio Colleges
Foundation. It became a full-fledged university in 2003. The University of Baguio was set up as the Baguio Technical and
Commercial Institute in 1948 by the Baustista family. It was upgraded to university status in 1969.
Mainly a nursing and medical school, Pines City Colleges was founded in 1969 as the Pines City Doctors Hospital School of
Nursing, three years after the opening of Pines City Doctors' Hospital in 1966.
