“Looking for transient house, yung malapit lang po
sana sa Burnham Park or walking distance”
First of all, Baguio City is not Burnham Park, but Burnham
Park is IN Baguio City.
Some seekers prefer a place away from the hustle and bustle
of the city, after all they’ve come all the way from a very chaotic city so why
stay within the busy periphery of another city?
But hey, let me explain comprehensively why staying anywhere
between the stretch of Naguilian Road up
to Mines View Park is never a complexity especially for tourists coming to
Baguio City on their own car.
But even for commuters, this city has one of the best if not
the best taxis in terms of drivers’ attitude and taxi fare in the entire
country, challenge me if I’m wrong. I
live in Davao City right now, taxi drivers in Davao are equally polite but the
per kilometer rate in Baguio is lower.
Taxis in Baguio has maybe the lowest rates, the most honest,
discreet, and non-complaining taxi drivers who will return your 1-peso change
instead of asking additional 50 pesos like they normally (not usual, it’s normal!)
and are accustomed to do in Metro Manila.
Believe me when I say that 60% of my
taxi rides in Manila whenever I’m there demand 50 pesos add-on just because of
the traffic that literally gave me the impression that it was my fault and I
have to suffer the financial consequence in the form of add-on fare. Like I have something to do with the
perpetual traffic problem in Metro Manila?
Going back to choosing your place to stay. Baguio City is a small place that even the
neighboring town of La Trinidad where the Strawberry Farm is located (not in
Baguio City like most people assume) is only less than half an hour away.
Unless your real purpose in coming to Baguio is to visit
Burnham Park (solely or exclusively), it doesn’t matter if you find a place in
Loakan Airport near PMA, up Ambiong, Magsaysay, around Pacdal Circle near
Wright Park, at Gibraltar near Mines View Park, Quezon Hill or around Lourdes
Grotto, or around Burnham Park itself where hotels or transient houses are
either slightly (or exorbitantly costly). You’re
still in Baguio City!
Staying within those stretch means you are only 5 to 15 minutes
drive or jeepney or taxi ride away to all the tourist spots that you may want
to see, or restaurants that you may possibly wish to satiate your cravings for
calories or fats or carbs or sugar or any other form of food trip or
gastronomic indulgence.

It’s not as if you’re struggling with air pollution or noise
pollution or the balmy weather of Metropolitan Manila here – this is Baguio
City, it’s not the same.
So go ahead, cut the crappy “walking distance to
Burnham Park” or “near tourist spots” excuse when seeking
a place to stay in Baguio. You’re in
Baguio for heaven’s sakes, you’re inside “A” tourist spot already! Takes only a couple or few minutes, no sweat
and you’re there wherever particular or square-meter-precise spot you want to visit,
eat or whatever you want to see or do.
Have fun and enjoy!
