A Day at the Baguio City Public Market

The Baguio City Public Market is the busiest area in the city. Trading activities in the market never ceases -- no day-off, no holidays. Here in this market will you find people from all walks of life. I personally enjoy talking to vendors if I'm not rushing. You will love to hear their life stories.

The market has everything you need. It is organized per area depending on what type of goods being sold.

You can also find the best buy for clothing from surplus stores, or locally called wagwagan or ukay-ukay.

Don't miss visiting the market if you're going to Baguio. Just be mindful of your personal belongings especially in crowded areas. Apply vigilance and you'll never go wrong.

Have a safe and enjoyable Baguio trip!

Film Shoot at Camp John Hay

I was strolling around Camp John Hay when I noticed ABS-CBN vans parked near Choco-Late de Batirol. There were also spectators around that's why I thought there's an ongoing film shoot. I thought it was for a primetime soap, Forevermore, which is starred by Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano.

Crowd + network vehicles + crew = film shoot

Out of curiosity, I went near - until I became a part of the crowd. I overheard from my co-spectators that Gerald Anderson is currently shooting a scene. That made things more interesting.

After a while, I saw the crew packing up. The shoot seems to be finished. It was a cue for me to leave.

  


And then there was hustle. I hurried back to check what that was. I took my phone out and ran its camera.

The first celebrity everyone saw was Gerald Anderson...

...and then this pretty lady, Julia Montes, came to grace the crowd with her presence.

Too bad I haven't been able to take a picture with these guys but nevertheless, I'm glad because I was able to see them personally and took pictures of them. Also, they have another scene to shoot that's why picture taking sessions didn't took long.

Then I remembered what my front camera is for.

When I got back, I saw them shooting the next scene. This was the nearest I could get.
