About Baguio City

Baguio City was established by Americans in 1900 and was designated by the Philippine Commission as the Summer Capital of the Philippines on June 1, 1903. The name of the city is derived from the word bagiw in Ibaloi, the indigenous language of the Benguet Region, meaning 'moss'. The city is at an altitude of approximately 5100 ft in a moist tropical pine forest conducive to the growth of mossy plants and orchids. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 252,386. |
