💡 Key takeaways

[Getting there & weather]
• Baguio is about 3 hours north of Angeles.
• According to the host, it sits at about 4,000 ft, so the mountain air is cool — a good escape from the Philippine heat.

[Camp John Hay]
• Developed by the US military in the early 1900s under a US presidential executive order as a station for US military officers; Manila's wealthy class followed, he says.
• It is now privately run and has a golf course. The host recommends visiting and eating there.

[Hill Station restaurant & hotel]
• Location: Upper Session Road.
• A US military building from the early 1900s; the restaurant and rooms have been privately run since the early 2000s, he says.

[Other attractions]
• Sky Ranch: an amusement park run by SM.
• The host says Baguio also has a number of girl bars (no bar names are given in this video).
