Save Baguio

Baguio has changed much from what many remember as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. From the idyllic pine scented, quiet laid back mountain city, it has now become a metropolis with the accompanying trappings of squatter colonies, traffic, high rise buildings, garbage, crime, pollution and urban decay.

Kafagwayan grieves for its loss but takes sanctuary and acts to manage what is left of this mountain city. Thus in the same spirit as that powerful documentary HOME,  ”what’s important is not what’s gone but what remains…” we move towards building a better growing environment for our children.

Kafagwayan will focus on assisting in the maintenance of city parks as well as in the preservation of the remaining forest lands in the Benguet and Cordillera regions.
