𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒑 🇵🇭

Sa paggunita ng ika-128 Araw ng Kalayaan ng Pilipinas, sama-sama nating ipinagdiriwang ang katapangan, sakripisyo, at pagmamahal sa bayan ng mga Pilipinong nagbuwis ng kanilang buhay para sa ating kasarinlan.

Sa temang “𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒑,” ating ginugunita hindi lamang ang mga tagumpay ng nakaraan kundi pati ang pananagutan nating ipagpatuloy ang adhikaing iniwan ng ating mga ninuno para isang bansang makatarungan, mapayapa, maunlad, at may pantay na oportunidad para sa lahat.

Habang pinahahalagahan natin ang ating kasaysayan, nawa’y magsilbi itong gabay sa paghubog ng isang mas maliwanag na kinabukasan. Sa ating pagkakaisa, pagmamahal sa kultura, at aktibong pakikilahok sa pag-unlad ng bayan, patuloy nating binibigyang-buhay ang kalayaang matagal na pinangarap at ipinaglaban ng ating mga bayani.

Mula sa Baguio Tourism Council, maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan sa lahat ng Pilipino sa buong mundo.

𝗠𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘀! ❤️

With a shared commitment to preserving Baguio’s rich heritage and nurturing its creative spirit, the Baguio Tourism Council successfully convened the G7 Heritage, Culture, Arts, and Media Sector Meeting, led by Sector Head Ferdinand Balanag. The gathering brought together key stakeholders from the heritage, arts, culture, and media communities to strengthen collaboration and help shape the sector’s direction for 2026–2027.

Through orientation sessions, focused breakout discussions, and plenary reporting, participants identified priority programs, proposed projects, and collaborative initiatives that will serve as the foundation for the sector’s action plan and upcoming BTC General Assembly presentation.

As the meeting concluded, the formation of working committees and the consolidation of recommendations underscored a shared vision: to celebrate Baguio’s identity, empower its creative communities, and ensure that culture and heritage continue to play a vital role in the city’s sustainable tourism and development.

The Baguio Tourism Council Board of Trustees recently convened for its 3rd Regular Board Meeting, bringing together tourism leaders and sectoral representatives to align plans, strengthen partnerships, and shape the direction of tourism initiatives for the City of Pines.

Key agenda points included committee and financial reports, VIS.I.T.A updates and new features, sectoral development plans, and discussions on major programs and collaborations lined up for 2026 and beyond. The Board also tackled preparations for upcoming tourism events such as the BTC Stakeholders General Assembly in July, the Regional Travel Fair in BARMM, Philippine Travel Mart in Pasay City, and the North Luzon Travel Expo in Subic.

Among the significant developments discussed was the passing of Ordinance No. 38, S. 2026, which supports accredited tourism stakeholders through waived entrance fees in city-operated tourist sites. Future initiatives including BTC’s annual business planning, proposed 2027 projects, tourism infrastructure support, and strengthened partnerships with community organizations and tourism agencies were likewise presented.

As tourism continues to evolve, the meeting underscored BTC’s collective vision of building a more connected, resilient, and experience-driven tourism industry that not only promotes destinations, but also uplifts communities, empowers stakeholders, and proudly showcases the heart of Baguio and the Cordilleras to the world.
