Thank you.

Everyone who has gone to SAGADA, PULAG, IFUGAO,and other places in the Cordillera -- will notice that
BAGUIO has LOST its CHARM--it is crowded, it is polluted, water is scarce, it is full of squatters
even in the watershed areas and it is HOT. The pine trees are so choked with smog. Session Road is no
longer leisurely cool walk -- it's like being in Cubao (okey - exaggeration but i really hate the
billboards up there -- it's so cluttered, an eyesore).

Hopefully Sagada won't follow suit---but it's getting to be commercial up there too. Maybe by
signing up, you will help RECLAIM BAGUIO's lost beauty and stop the degradation of all the other
places we all love in the Northern region--so, how about signing this petition?

PETITION for BAGUIO CITY:

We believe that the City of Baguio is culturally, environmentally and aesthetically unique and
different from other cities in the Philippines.

We believe that Baguio is the nerve center of our rich and diverse cultures: the Filipino culture
in general, the highland Cordilleran culture, the lowland Ilocano culture, and the heritage culture
brought about by the Americans during the early 20th Century.

We believe that in the past two decades, the City of Baguio has experienced a substantial degradation of
its unique culture, environment and art.

We believe that the approval of certain politicians with no respect for the aesthetics and the
environment of Baguio to put up concrete structures such as malls, overpasses and flyovers only worsens
Baguio City's lamentable decay as a 'City of Pines.'


We believe that this overdevelopment resulting in pollution has to stop.

We believe that due to its unique history and blend of cultures, Baguio can be to the Philippines as
Barcelona is to Spain, Chiang Mai is to Thailand, and San Francisco is to the United States: a main
center of arts, culture, philosophy, education, tourism, sustainable development and environmental
awareness.

We believe, therefore, that the City of Baguio deserves to be declared a 'Special Heritage Zone,'
so that the degradation brought about by overdevelopment can be minimized and gradually
controlled.

We believe that Baguio City's heritage as a center of culture and environmental awareness
is a valuable asset not just to the Philippines, but also to the world.

We now respectfully call on the residents of Baguio and the Filipino people to sign this humble
petition, and for the local and national government concerned to implement and declare Special Heritage
status on this unique mountain City as soon as possible, preferably before the Baguio Centennial in
2009, so no further destruction on its limited cultural, environmental and aesthetic resources may
continue.
