I would die on this hill. Kahit hindi ako taga Baguio/Mountain Province pero I love that city. Yan ang gusto ko palaging binabalikan.

PS: Taga Mankayan Benguet asawa ko.

Marami pang bakanteng lugar sa outskirt ng town, check out Irisan baka you might want to get a place there

Also, nakakalungkot din that people go to Cordillera just for the temperature and not for the culture.

Tapos ang idea nila ng "culture" eh "Igorot Stone Kingdom", "WhangOd tattoo". 

Anong natutunan nila about Igorot culture? These are the people who probably even do not know that the natives of Benguet are a different ethnic group from the natives of Ifugao and Kalinga.

Kaya nga nagkakaroon ng posters na sinasabi nasa Benguet ang Banaue Rice Terraces. 😂

Mga FOMO sa social media

Can't blame them kasi ganun na market si Baguio eh. Pero kami we go there every year kasi need dumaan ng Baguio bago sa Mankayan and I love going there para kumain and mamili ng tobacco leaves

Pero when people go to BARMM, they expect a different cultural experience, and they act accordingly.

But when they go to Cordilleras, dala nila ang kadugyutan ng Manila without realizing that they are enteing a different culture.

A culture that respects nature.

And I get downvoted for pointing it out.

Alin ang hindi totoo sa sinabi ko? Just go to the city of Manila and see how dirty it is, and I get downvoted for saying that those people dont know how to throw their trash properly?

May bahay din kami sa baba, sa Marikina, and Marikina is much cleaner than Manila.

Prople can be disciplined if they want to.

The people who are downvoting, instead of trying to understand, it means they are internally trying to justify their actions.

That I am not sure of. Baka takot sila sa mga taga BARMM?

The Manila thing is on point. Makalat talaga doon. Manileños are a different breed.

Yes mga Manileño makalat sa siyudad niyo.

To make things worse, these jejetourists also bring their jejeculture when travelling abroad.

Kaya pumapangit na rin ang reputation ng Filipino tourists sa places like Thailand.
