Press Release Body = Baguio City is mostly famous for its cool climate; hence, this
highland city was dubbed as the Philippines' summer capital. Each year, both
domestic and international travelers traditionally pack their bags from the months
of February to June - when the temperature in the country intensifies - for a
refreshing exodus to this nippy city.

Over time, Baguio City was able to establish itself as one of the major tourism hubs
in the Philippines. Local and foreign visitors alike flock to the Burnham Park, Camp
John Hay, Mines View Park, the Mansion (the Philippine President's summer home), and
other happening places like Session and Legarda roads.

While people initially remember Baguio as a place where temperatures never register
above 26 degrees Celsius, the city is also popular because of its lush flora. This
climate, together with the country's natural tropical setting, is the ideal
environment for trees, plants, and flowers to grow in. As such, Baguio also boasts
of scenic landscapes and tourist spots like the Botanical Garden.

In 1995, all sector of society hailing from government, education, business, media,
and civic organizations, conceptualized the idea of a flower festival in Baguio
City. Thus, the Panagbenga Festival was born. For the whole month of February
annually, Baguio City bursts with vibrant colors from the parades, the flower
floats, and the costumes from native residents. Festival activities plus markets are
abundant and heightened particularly on the weekends of the celebration's tenure.

Obviously, the hospitality industry becomes just as busy before and during
Panagbenga. El Cielito Inn - Baguio, one of the finest lodging establishments within
the city, prepares to welcome the expected influx of guests. With facilities for
both leisure and business travelers - especially during the Panagbenga Flower
Festival - guests will be delighted for a truly spectacular stay. For inquiries and
