Enough with the cool weather and the vanishing pine trees. Let me talk about:
Marlboro country.
No one seem to notice, but Baguio (and most of the Cordillera region) for me is too country. They love country music, and well, where in the Philippines could you see people dancing the Achy Breaky Heart?
There's a radio station which exclusively plays country music, and they have their own local country singers:
And shops with cowboy shoes on display:
Bullfighting...
And the ultimate Cordillera cowboy look:
I'm not really into country music although I thought Shania Twain is amazing and I was a fan of Carrie Underwood during her Idol days, and Baguio made me appreciate their music more.
Well, speaking of country, we were at the Cowboy Barn somewhere in Cavite last week, just got surprised to see a bar of this kind outside Baguio.
Wala lang ma-post.
Cheers!
