JUJU ON THE GO | Baguio, Philippines | Julia Barretto

From the beautiful island of Panglaubahol we're going on a trip up north A little over 200 kilometers from Metro Manila You'll reach the second destination of Ju on the go The City of Pines Baguio City Hey guys we're here right now at the manor at Camp John Hay Let's bring up our equipment Before we begin this long day and beautiful adventure here in Baguio I'll show you the room later but we're running late Let's go See you around Also called the summer capital of the Philippines Baguio City has become a top destination that tourists visit And people like me who want to take a break from the noise of the bustling city Baguio is a must-visit on every traveler's bucket list Cold weather is not the only reason but also the activities and of course my favorite part food So super exciting because I've been to Baguio a couple of times but I haven't been here on this bridge yet Right now we are in the colors of Stobosa we are standing in the bridge A little trivia lang before hindi to painted with different colors but in 2016 these young homeowners here decided to paint their houses Because at some point before 2016 it was somewhat of an eyesore and it has quickly become the first and largest community artwork So this is Colors of Stobosa Tara Wow Look how steep that is This brings back memories yeah if you guys can recall the stairs going to the chocolate hills were really steep Look how beautiful that is because even the staircase merong artwork and you can see that it really is colorful all the way up It never ends Stobosa is an acronym for Stonehill Butiwtiw and Sajap which are the names of the barangays in the capital of Benguet La Trinidad I think you should take some pictures and I would really recommend this spot because it's so Instagrammable So we are on our way to the strawberry farm now I've always just heard about the strawberry farm but I never got the chance to stop by First time here at Colors of Stobosa It was really nice But I do see it already every time we're here in Baguio But it's different to actually be on that bridge and walk up the stairs like the homeowners who live there in that area See you guys later strawberry farm So when were planning this trip we decided to prioritize the destinations that were a bit farther away Alika let's go After a little over 20 minutes from the Colors of Stobosa we are now at the strawberry farm And I heard that it's impossible not to have strawberry while we're here And while this is my first time being here come on let's try it out Actually I was given a little strawberry ice cream and I couldn't resist It tastes so good But let's have more and talk about it as we go around Let's go Since we're at the strawberry farm there's a strawberry wall What percentage is that 12 percent Oh my goodness Ooh Delicious Which one is that Let's take that 350 now 350 We'll come back to that Can you make strawberry taho Yes ma'am So how does it happen I put strawberry and then brown sugar ma'am Then that's it Brown sugar that's right Really Can I try that No breakfast no lunch yet So my older brother made it himself Wow looks good big brother Yes ma'am Correct correct Get one fresh strawberries Yes ma'am Bring two Oh my That's really good Must try must try Kanina it's a little bit cooler a little bit colder But now that it's 12:10 we're starting to feel the heat But later it's a bit chilly again A strawberry taho is 50 pesos What is this What is this made of po Young rice Sticky young rice The name for this is pilipig Pilipig What is it po Pilipig Of course I know what pilipig is Ah this is different What is this then He is a native ma'am He's a local Filipino We'll eat later because we're about to enter the farm Here we go everyone So we arrived during the peak season of the strawberry farm So right now there are not many strawberries left So let's not pick anymore Let's just take a tour Just look around This is gooseberry How delicious Patry It's so different It's not just pure strawberry Wow it looks so fresh Imagine eating that straight from there Better food better future Reminder to self yeah Choose good food We saw a store in the middle of the farm Let's go check it out Usually how is the setup here Can you supply markets outside Or should they be bought directly here It depends ma'am on the alimony farm So each owner has 500 square meters So nothing less nothing more Ah okay So interesting So she mentioned a while ago that per area someone owns this So now we know that specifically per 500 square meters it belongs to them But can anyone buy it Yes ma'am Very fresh Very fresh Fresh from the farm Question ma'am Would you recommend a straight sila to buy here at the farm Or at the market It depends ma'am on what's the best sila they can get easily Yes Correct So I think it's probably because I got picked up here I think it's still much better to buy directly from the farm Because it's more affordable It's more affordable and very fresh December is the peak season for strawberries December to To May So the farm suffered a lot during the pandemic But what would you say now as we speak it's better times for her after the pandemic and then the flood Better now But that's the end of the season So after May the vegetables aren't really producing anymore So we talked to Ate Obviously I also learned a lot about this farm in just a simple conversation with her That's why it's really good to ask When you do ask there's so much more to learn So hopefully we can come back in December during the peak of the strawberry season But right now since were able to just walk around I guess we're done here And I'm excited because speaking of greens and fresh greens straight from the farm We're going to a

market So let's go there to cap off the day From ukay-ukay accessories and even food trips you can find all of that here at the night market This is located beside Burnham Park along Harrison Road And this is open from 9 p m until early morning Good morning guys It is our second day here in Baguio and we are now in what they call the historical core Which you can still find here in Camp John Hay Why are we here Actually the place we really came here to is the Cemetery of Negativism People seek to release negative thoughts and negative energy But before they come in we're going to tell them Hello good morning How much is the entrance fee Php 48 for tourists Students seniors Php 36 Then kids free of charge So bashers come here only Php 48 Cemetery of Negativism It's a beautiful day guys It's currently between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius in Baguio Of course in Baguio many people know about the Liberal House about the Diplomat Hotel where lost souls may be wandering But at the Cemetery of Negativism they don't bury people here They bury negative thoughts negative feelings and negative energy here And then we also learned a little bit of history about this place In the 80s there was a commander named John Hightower who believed that the burdens of soldiers were their negative thoughts and feelings That really hinders them from reaching their full potential So they decided to hold a funeral for negative thoughts and negative feelings I feel like it's a nice place to go to in the morning Right now it's just 8:30 It's a nice time to really have some alone time If I have any negative energy just leave it here I'm gonna leave everything here All my worries all the fears all my anxiousness Leave leave But one of the things that also caught my attention is this place So this entire place is called the Historical Core The whole place right For all weddings or any event This is a nice beautiful location Okay guys Our next destination of course is Baguio and we can't go there without buying souvenirs for our one-on-ones So we're going to Good Shepherd Go there people who want to buy souvenirs and delicacies I can't go to Baguio without buying something for the mother goose We wanted to stop by Good Shepherd as planned to buy some delicacies ube jam and souvenirs for our families But when we arrive you'll see the line is very long We asked them what time they started queuing 5 a m So noted Next time when we want to visit Good Shepherd we need to be there by 5 a m We are already there But we also found out that it was the same during the pandemic because the pandemic is still ongoing I think it's more about safety protocols And then Ilan Lang was the maximum that could enter the store itself So they're being extra cautious and extra safe But next time let's go there to Good Shepherd Right now we are on our way to Hatch for breakfast Because after breakfast we have another destination to visit coming up in our next few episodes Because the line was long we didn't get off because were running late I definitely don't want to get in line So my team just started asking around What should we recommend buying next time we come here The product from Good Shepherd Since ever Naman every time we visit Baguio we buy No probably after 3 years since we came back again this is the first time we've experienced such a kiwi Yung very ano kasi nila famous na talagang kinukuha namin dito is yung ube jam This is my first time visiting here Bali I'm excited to buy their ube jam It's very tasty really Also of course the strawberry jam Good morning everyone
