May point ka diyan. <br/><br/>Hi Anonymous,<br/>Hey, that's a good idea. Hope Baguio officials would entertain the suggestion. <br/><br/>Another idea is to make/promote the city as a honeymoon destination just like Niagara Falls in Canada. I was surprised a few years back when a friend from Mindanao told me that they had their honeymoon in Baguio. Apparently, in the place where he comes from, people dream about having their honeymoon in the city. Thanks. Hi Nats,
Hehe. May point ka diyan.

As far as redefining a niche for Baguio as an educational center in the the 21st century, how about the idea of developing it and its neighboring towns as summer/study abroad destination for the international community of learners for all ages.

I think the time ripe considering that there are now many schools across Northern Philippines that can or should meet the TRADITIONAL regional educational needs that Baguio use to meet (and has caused much of the population boom and infrastructure overload!).

Thanks again.<br/><br/>Hi Brad,<br/>As elsewhere, the politicians have a part in the problem so we hope that they will also play a part in finding solutions. Thanks :-) Hi Anonymous,
