[Opinion Editor’s Note: This article, which is the second of Mr. Ricardo B. Ramos’ promised two articles on “Issues on Baguio,” is his last column in The Manila Times.  He bids farewell to Times readers and editors.  We wish him Godspeed and success in his future endeavors.] 

THE only place in Baguio that has retained most of its pine trees and open space is Camp John Hay, the former Rest & Recreation (R & R) destination of the US Armed Forces.  At 5,000 feet above sea level, it is much cooler and has much less humidity than the lowlands. Baguio has a mild climate similar to the many states back home in America.
