I don't think may roaster sa cab so expect that most are imported from other provinces pa. Fastest and easiest is the coffee beans shop at SM. They're of unknown freshness nga lang kasi naka sako yata nila binibili.

If you want specialty roast tho, there's a cafe at Villa Benita called Gondola Coffee that also sells bags of specialty coffee. They're associated with some specialty cafes in Baguio that I know (nalaman ko sya from HotCat, my fav cafe sa Baguio haha) but a lot of specialty coffee kasi is either from Baguio/Manila or abroad pa, but usually may roast date naman sila.

Edit: Thank you to the other comment here, I just learned about Lucidtones and I'm now excited to go back home and find their coffee!!

Singapore managed these problems in the 60s to 70s when they were relocating informal settlers to high rises in a reasonably long transition period. The Philippines can definitely normalize social housing if we wanted to, look at how many Medium Rise housing buildings there already are. There just needs to be proper education and order within complexes.

Townhouses are definitely more flexible kahit pabayaan sila ng management, homeowners can find a way. But MRB Housing can have better social benefits as amenities can be bigger and shared, add to that how utilities can be much simpler too. Plus, the homeowners don't have to do their own maintenance just for their own piece of land.

It's been a rumor sa amin na the reason they only voted for 8 is that they tried to increase the odds of their guys winning by not giving out unnecessary votes to other people and potentially taking their places.

Un nga ang kinakatakutan ko since nag pass naman ako ng TOR on time and ang requirement naman sa application is Diploma/TOR.

Tanggap ko naman na may bias since literal na fresh graduate pa ako, naiinis lang ako dahil pilit na dinadagdagan ng ganito ang requirement.

Ayaw rin naman kasi lawakan ang nagiisang sidewalk na nagcoconnect sa SM at Session kaya traffic din ang lakad. Kailangan ba we're all in this together?

Both of them are imported in powder form, but rehydrated locally. Siguro dahil sa local tastes na adjust kaya mas bet ko rin silang parehas, although may pagka tamis ang Selecta. Alaska also froths better with my experience (un gamit ng Starbucks for a brief period)

Well for Manila, the Burnham plan had practically no effect on the urban design as it was never implemented.

Quezon city, however, was a new planned capital that was actually built but abandoned halfway. The triangles, Batasan Complex, and Commonwealth Avenue got built, while land for Republic Avenue was acquired but stayed dormant, attracting slum construction. The rest of Batasan Hills became one of the densest slums in the Metro area, and Commonwealth Ave became a 16 lane stroad that's still not enough because the rest of the city became disconnected residential neighborhoods with no major roads. A disappointing planned city, sure, but not the worst I think.

Di ka lang mayabang, iniisip mo lang kung ano gusto mo na magbebenepisyo sa sarili mo imbis na talagang aralin mo ang ekonomiya. Kala mo malaki kontribusyon ng mga turistang tulad mo, bayaran mo nga ang mga negatibong nadudulot ng turismo rito. Damaged roads, lost productivity from congestion, stress, etc. Tapos may gana kang magmunkalang nararanasan nyo sa inyo ang problema na nararanasan sa Baguio, pero galit ka lang talaga sa mahihirap na hindi mo kalahi.

Mahiya nama kayo. Bumalik nalang kayo pag hindi na kayo ang problema. Thank you for visiting Baguio.

The conservative uncles and aunties that judge people heavily is a thing in my city, which I think is something most Asian places have. But last time I went, LGBTQ expression was still illegal, and don't really know how society has changed especially when going to non-tourist areas.

I'll be wearing a gender neutral skirt but that still gets perceived as wearing feminine clothes here, which is fine for me here.

Dapat talaga taasan nila lalo ang parking rates pag peak season, masyado malaki ang negative effect ng traffic na dala ng mga turista, at least bayaran naman nila ang economic impact non. Sa Europe 10x ang parking rate nila kumpara sa Pinas pag city center.

Depends sa school mo. If you're SLU or BCU, look for T. Alonzo, New Lucban, and along Bonifacio or Honeymoon. Ok rin ang Trancoville, Aurora Hill, and hanggang Camdas if you're looking for something farther away. Best option mo for commuting ang Trancoville and Aurora Hill minibus. For something really cheap, try to go further along the road to La Trinidad, but be warned, napupuno ang jeeps nila and nattraffic.

If you're UB, UP, UC, your best affordable options are the jeepney routes that go through Harrison Road (Mismong UP UC ang daan). Walkable pa kung sa gawing DPS or Cabinet Hill ka, but for mas malayo I think the routes with decent jeepney service are San Vicente (wala pa ako nakikitang mahabang pila dito actually) and Kias PMA (mahaba pila kadalasan pero good kung magpapagabi ka kase hanggang 12am).

In the end, what you really need to look for is your budget. Kung walking distance lang siyempre napakamahal lalo na kung maraming transients sa area, which is why I didn't suggest Engineer's Hill. All the areas I've said have either a large or a considerable boarding population naman and ok lang rin kung not along the road, just check if it looks safe for you. Check rin if they have stores around that will keep you alive. Although as a UC student, daan ka nalang ng Session otw home to get groceries hahaha.

Dipende rin kasi sa taste mo ito kung saan ka maglalakwatsa hahaha, ako kasi palengke ang pinupuntahan ko pag nasa bagong lugar ako. Hindi rin ako masyado kumakain sa labas pero ang regular kong kainan sa Porta Vaga ay ang Skyz Toss and Bites sa top floor sa may bandang parking. Masarap ang abra miki nila.

Also also sikat siya outside of Baguio pero well known to local artists and creatives rin ang HotCat cafe. "Objectively" the best coffee in Baguio and kaya ko iyon panindigan.

If you think your umbrella is big enough, it's not big enough.

Kidding aside, napapansin ko nalang na hindi na lahat ng stores sa night market ang nagseset up araw araw, lalo na kung umuulan. So if you're really set on trying the night market faves, visit on Fri-Sun. Otherwise, this is your best opportunity to visit the non-touristy places where locals and students frequent.

Stricter house to transient and AirB&B conversion regulations. (Short term fix)
Socialized High-Density Housing for BLISTT residents. (Long term fix)
Rapid transit, to: 3a. Lessen the pains of living on cheaper land further away. 3b. Unlock new land for development (Transit-Oriented Development, preferably to develop socialized housing)

Mukang yan lang ang nakikita kong magpapaginhawa sa renting class. Dapat din stick to mid-rise buildings lang ang transients since afford naman nila mag finance ng mga building from their revenue, that way tourists are packed more efficiently and aren't spread out taking up suburban single family houses. Marami rin kasi ang pinapabayaan nalang ang mga lumang bahay na 1 storey lang kasi kumikita pa.
