Baguio City to be renamed Korea City
Designed for a population of 30,000 people, today Baguio is home to 300,000, including over 20,000 South Koreans (and counting).
In recognition of the contribution of South Koreans to the city’s economy, tourism and overpopulation, the Baguio City Council has recently passed a resolution that would change the name of Baguio to Korea City. Council members argued that Baguio has lost its allure anyway because of the local government’s failure to solve many of the city’s social, economic and environmental problems. They believe that by adopting a new name, the city can bounce back and be the great city it once was. “This will attract even more Koreans to settle in the city, resulting in a unique cultural mix and creating a viable and progressive business climate,” said one council member. He added that ‘Korea’ rhymes perfectly well with the name of the region Baguio belongs to — Cordillera.
Start practicing to say “Korea in the Cordillera.”

My young lady and I went up to Baguio last week and weren't overly impressed, to be honest.
