Vintage Cordillera
There were well over 10,000 views of “ Manila in the 1970’s “ ( http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....n+the+1970%27s ) so here’s the first of the follow up “ Vintage Philippines “ threads . Separate Manila thread to follow.
All photos and scanned old postcards are mine, so no copyright issues . They are unaltered from original. I also take responsibility for historical notes – please correct any errors !
Part I :-
1. “ Zig-zag, Baguio Road “ :- Baguio ( “ Summer Capital of the Philippines “ ) was developed by the Americans as a hill station around 1900, and this first road directly connecting Pangasinan was completed soon afterwards.
How the roads to Baguio have changed more than a century later !
2. “ Amphitheatre, Baguio “ :- Part of the Hill Station in what is today the site of Camp John Hay ( named after American President Theodore Roosevelt’s Secretary of War ).
The Amphitheatre is now a venue for weddings and other activities :-
