I was planning to post, at a much later time, several articles on Baguio City to commemorate its 100th year as a chartered city.  Baguio bacame a chartered city on 1 September 1909.  I was also thinking of posting Baguio trivia.  For instance, according to this article, Justice George A. Malcolm wrote the Charter of Baguio. According to this article, Justice Malcolm was the first dean permanent of the College of Law of the University of the Philippines. He was also an associate Justice of Philippine Supreme Court. This is probably why that place on the bottom of Session Road that is (or was) used as a public parking area is called Malcolm Square.

As I was thinking happy thoughts about Baguio, I read Padma’s blog and was saddened to learn that a portion of the Baguio market, one of the few places left in Baguio that reminds me of the Baguio I knew as a child, had burned down a couple of days ago.  After reading Padma’s article on the Baguio market, I decided to post the few articles I have about Baguio starting tomorrow. I feel the need to be reminded of home.
