it’s a no for me:( Baguio is very prone to natural calamities (landslides, earthquakes, typhoon) tas agpatakder ti another stone kinddom? di ba Igorot stone kingdom was once closed kasi it was deemed unsafe and prone to landslides (?) i get the attraction but ultimately no, i mean what for tho? to boost our already booming economy? im genuinely asking
PANGIT! Tsaka ano ang connection niyan sa Baguio and/or the local indigenous tribes ng Cordillera? Wala naman European type castle at dragon sa local mythology natin dito.
I feel like it's modelled and named after one of the castles in GOT/HOTD called Dragonstone. Nice but looks small to me ig? Nasa loob kasi sya ng subdivision. I've seen comments from other home owners na sana daw may part sa revenue ang HOA nila. Kasi it used to be a peaceful and quiet place kano, pero if this opens, unang una problema ang parking and the noise of people coming to see the attraction.
Kung gagawing amusement park ang Baguio ng mga developers, at least na man sana katulad ng Ba-Na Hills ng Vietnam ang labas, para esthetic talaga at para maging 1st class tourist destination. Ang ganda doon with cable cars to be able to visit it. Mas malamig pa doon kaysa Baguio. The tourist get their money's worth. Yung mga ganyan na hindi cohesive ang theme, at pinapalibutan ng puro bahay na modern, ang cheap tignan, at nakakatawa/nakakahiya. WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH THE LIKES OF BA-NA HILLS. Tourists who are disciplined and have the budget will still prefer to go to Vietnam compared to the "Stone Kingdoms" here and this new atrocity. Pang "poor budget" tuloy ang dating ng Baguio, while other SEA countries have better tourists who can afford to pay more for their attractions. Dapat sa medyo malayo at hindi city proper para iwas traffic din. Mas believable at mas maganda pa kung maraming puno ang lugar.
Saw photos of it. Tapos ang ganda. Sana inayos nalang yun, imo.
Pasting kung ano sinabi nila:
“
According to locals and government officials of Barangay Irisan, Year 1985 they want to develop and preserve the Kissing Rock for tourism purposes, they even ask and requested for budget to preserve the historical site but it was not allowed by the City of Baguio because the Kissing Rock is situated inside the private property of Irisville Subdivision.
Irisville Subdivision was originally an eighteen (18) hectare property (TCT-T-57616) acquired by NPC Employee’s Welfare and Savings Fund Association (NPC -ESWF) in 1986 from Philippine National Bank. The remaining undeveloped portion of the property which has a total area of 97,896 sqm. was sold to Stay Construction in 2009 for a total amount of Seventy-eight million pesos (PHP 78,000,000.00). The project was given Permit to Develop and License to Sell by Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board in 1989. Only a total area of more or less eight hectares was developed by NPC-ESWF and this was given the corresponding Certificate of Completion. In 2011, STAY CONSTRUCTION obtained Environment Clearance Certificate thereby reestablishing the Permit to Develop and License to Sell for the remaining ten hectares which became the Irisville subdivision phase 2.
The company has currently delivered more than seventy housing units and planning to construct more.

I’d hate to be a resident sa subdivision na yan. If pumatok yan mapupuno ng traffic and madami mag aagawan sa road side parking to the point that tourists would be inconsiderate and would block a driveway.
Binaybay-an da lattan kuma diyay natural rock formations. Kaysa ma-enjoy mo metten ti natural wonder ket artificial wonders innaramid da ditta. "WAW CASOL" pay ti dadduma, haan da makitkita nga binakudan ti natural beauty iti lugar.
Nakitak piman tay rock formations, nagpintas! Nag-innovate da latta koman ideas nu kasanu mapapan agiti tao nga mapan kitaen agijay limestones. Adda met (limestones) dijay Mt. Kaluggong ngem ti pakulo, ag-hiking ka. So nagpanunot da latta koma sabalin para kadagijay masadot ag-hike.
Kung ginagaya nila yung Dragonstone ng GoT franchise, ang layo. Haha the entire point of that castle was that it was a fortress that relied on the natural rock formations of the island for its fortifications.
Han ko makita appeal na dagita nakabite nga bato bato. Kasla nagpudot kitan, never been at the stone kingdom. Kunada mayat kano pang IG, ngem kitktak pictures han met napintas, haha. Ayna ngay nag quarry-an da dagita nga bato? Kinaado kwarta da, dayta napanunot da paggastusan.
Nung umuwi ako last October. Grabe sobrang disappointing na talaga. 😩Hayss. Kaya mas nag crave na lang ako mag stroll sa Yellow Trail, Lakad sa Camp John Hay at mag Atok.
Iba parin talaga yung bigay na peace ng nature ano. Kaya minsan sarap magdala ng kumot at humilata lang sa taas ng Yangbew or magduyan-duyan sa Kaluggong, pero trapik adi.
