Why Baguio is the perfect vacation haven for singles




Aside from being a romantic getaway for couples, the city of Baguio also has a lot to offer for singles or those who are getting over past heartbreaks.

According to a "24 Oras" report by Darlene Cay, single men and women can enjoy the overlooking view of Benguet, take strolls around the city's scenic parks, go on a food trip and enjoy beautiful gardens in the area.

For Ellias Matias, who never had a girlfriend, his solo trip to Baguio was his way of forgetting a past heartbreak while finding himself in the process.

"Feeling ko 'yung Baguio, dahil sa lamig niya, makakapag-isip ka nang mabuit.  Iyon 'yung perfect place kung paano mo mahanap ang iyong sarili," he said.

Another traveller, Justin, brought his date Michaela to Baguio so he could show his affection to her.

Asked if Justin had a chance with Michaela, she replied, "Magtiwala lang siya. Pero may chance naman."

The popular city of Baguio, also known as the summer capital of the country, is just beside Mount Costa which has 24 gardens. These IG-worthy sights are perfect for either singles or couples.

According to the Baguio City Tourism Office, thousands of tourists visited the city during the first two months of the year. But the number was halved because of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) scare.

However, the number of tourists went up during Valentine's weekend, according to the local authority. —Angelica Yang/LDF, GMA News
