When In Baguio Stay at Le Monet Hotel in Camp John Hay

Dubbed as the “Summer Capital of the Philippines”, Baguio City is home to Le Monet Hotel. Refreshing scents of pines and sweeping views, Le Monet Hotel is a place where one can fulfill the longing for rejuvenation. With Le Monet Hotel’s 70 well-appointed rooms and suites providing the utmost convenience and relaxation, this is the ultimate rejuvenating retreat. The hotel has been named after the great French impressionist painter Claude Monet, and to experience staying in any of the hotel’s suites is truly an example of “life imitating art” – with each having a veranda that would provide beautiful sights of the forest and the park.

Philippine history lessons in 30 grand visions

In this age of Instagram and Twitter, quick short bites of communiqué are the norm. It can be a statement of fact or the start of a meaningful discussion.  SININGSAYSAY:  Philippine History in Art achieves both.  The art exhibit of 30 large-scale paintings covering pre-historic Philippines to modern times should serve as a must for every student and observer of the country’s life and times.

A joint project of the University of the Philippines (UP), the UP Alumni Association (UPAA) and the Araneta Center, the exhibit is open free to the public every day at the Gateway Gallery. Students from elementary and secondary schools are set to tour the exhibit with expert guidance from teachers and historians. For the young and old experiencing history through these murals, it promises to be a pleasurable walk.
