Old Baguio Heritage Cafe & Restaurant brings an authentic Cordillera food experience to Metro Manila

  


As it stands,
Old Baguio Heritage Cafe and Restaurant is the only high-end dining facility in Metro Manila that offers a taste of the Cordilleras' gastronomic and cultural heritage. This institution was one of the few to survive the pandemic lockdown when it originally opened in 2020. The café-resto, located on the second level of the Kalayaan Centerpointe Building on Kalayaan Avenue, corner V. Luna, Barangay Malaya, Diliman District, remained open despite the lengthy lockdown, thanks to its owners, who refused to let their cultural heritage fold just like that, thus demonstrating their ancestors' spirit of resilience in how they handled this legacy.

 

Chef Wendy and Sir John developed this concept with a focus on responsible sourcing. They work directly with local farmers to ensure the freshest produce for Old Baguio Heritage Café and Restaurant. This approach not only guarantees high-quality food but also supports indigenous farmers in the Cordilleras.

 

Ambiance/Art Inspiration of Resto Interior: Cordilleran warmth.

The establishment can handle 30 pax or more if the main counter area is opened.

 

Resto Format: Dine-in, Delivery, Online Availability.

 

Price Range: Php 400-Php 600/pax

 

Quirk:

The Café-Resto's appeal  is too obvious to ignore, since the owners emphasize their history. The resto-café is decorated in earthy colors, such as varnished and polished chairs and tables, and its Narra wood mini-bar.

The centerpiece divider, designed as a fireplace, is also one to behold.

The Siakol–Repakol–Noel Palomo Feud: A Deep Dive into the Battle for Songs, Rights, and Legacy

  The Filipino rock scene, particularly the '90s era of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) bands, has seen its fair share of controversies, but few have been as drawn-out and emotionally charged as the feud between Siakol, its splinter group Repakol, and former lead vocalist and chief songwriter Noel Palomo. Siakol was formed in the mid-1990s and quickly rose to prominence with their raw, relatable lyrics and catchy melodies. The band was known for its street-smart takes on everyday Filipino life, often delivered with humor and grit. Key hits like “Lakas Tama,” “Gabay,” “Tropa,” “Inuman Na,” and “Bakit Ba Ganyan” cemented their status as a staple in the OPM rock canon. The creative nucleus of Siakol revolved around Noel Palomo, the group's charismatic frontman and principal songwriter. While breakups in bands are not uncommon, what followed was a contentious fallout that continues to reverberate in the OPM community. The most significant point of contention? The continued use ...

With the knowledge that farmers or the masses have no means to get good defense lawyers (except from the Public Attorney's Office or PAO whose officers hardly follow the examples of Attorney General Persida Acosta) fast, if they ever get one at all,  Deputy Provincial Prosecutor James Gerald R. Florendo issued the subpoena below requiring respondent - a farmer from the rural barangays of Santo Domingo in Ilocos Sur, to respond to the accusation of cyber libel, the same day that the farmer received the subpoena delivered by the police in Wednesday, January 7, this tear   The respondent was required to answer the allegations of the town's Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO) Randy Jose Reburon who filed the case.
