I've been craving to go to Baguio on a February to attend the Panagbenga Festival. For the nth time, I will be missing it next year since I had to take care of my wife and her pregnancy. Hence, probably I could attend the year after. XD. Anyways, I got this news here since I do visit his blog every now and then.
Last November, the City Government of Baguio formally launched the opening of the 2011 Baguio Flower Festival which is also popularly known as the Panagbenga Festival 2011.
