BAGUIO SHINES: 7TH SAFEST CITY IN THE PHILIPPINES! 🌍✨

We would like to issue a clarification and sincere apology regarding our earlier post. It was previously stated that Baguio was ranked the safest city in the Philippines and 7th safest worldwide. This was inaccurate.

According to the mid-year 2025 World Travel Index report, Baguio City is actually ranked 7th safest city within the Philippines, with a safety score of 73.99%. It does not place in the global top 10, but rather holds a mid-tier position internationally.

We regret the error and any confusion it may have caused. Accuracy matters, and we want to ensure that the achievements of Baguio City are celebrated truthfully. Despite the correction, Baguio continues to stand proud as the Summer Capital of the Philippines, beloved for its cool climate, warm people, strong safety measures, and vibrant tourism appeal.

BAGUIO COUNCIL EXTENDS FREE BOTANICAL GARDEN ACCESS TO BLISTT RESIDENTS FOR 6 MONTHS

The Baguio City Council has approved an ordinance extending the free entrance privilege at the Baguio Botanical Garden for residents of Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba, and Tublay (BLISTT) from August 1, 2025 until January 31, 2026.

BAGUIO COUNCIL EXTENDS FREE BOTANICAL GARDEN ACCESS TO BLISTT RESIDENTS FOR 6 MONTHS

The Baguio City Council has approved an ordinance extending the free entrance privilege at the Baguio Botanical Garden for residents of Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba, and Tublay (BLISTT) from August 1, 2025 until January 31, 2026.

The ordinance was signed by Mayor Benjamin Magalong on August 18, 2025.

To avail of the free access, BLISTT residents must present a valid proof of residency such as government-issued ID, barangay clearance, or any city-recognized document showing their address.

The first free access privilege was granted earlier this year through two separate ordinances which allowed BLISTT residents to enter the Botanical Garden without charge during and after the Panagbenga Festival as a gesture of gratitude for their support and participation.

City Environment and Parks Management Officer Rhenan Diwas recommended the extension after noting that the initial free access program not only strengthened grassroots connection but also boosted visitor turnout, with residents bringing along relatives and friends from outside BLISTT. His report showed that revenues even increased compared to the previous year which proves that the policy supported both tourism and local engagement.

Councilor Jose Molintas, principal author of the measures, said this initiative is meant to express gratitude to the BLISTT communities for their support to the city and to promote environmental awareness and inclusivity through accessible green spaces.

The ordinance tasks the City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO) to implement the free access program and ensure proper identification of BLISTT residents and monitor the park’s operations during the extended period. -Jordan G. Habbiling
