Baguio City, nestled in the cool embrace of the Cordilleras, is celebrating a remarkable milestone—its 115th Charter Day. This day isn’t just about marking years; it’s about reflecting on the journey that has made Baguio the unique and beloved city it is today. For those of us at KAYA Rehab, this celebration is also a reminder of the healing and hope that Baguio offers to so many.
The Journey of Baguio: From Hill Station to a Healing Haven
Baguio’s story began over a century ago as a humble hill station during the American colonial period, offering respite from the heat of the lowlands. Over time, it has evolved into the vibrant Summer Capital of the Philippines, known for its rich history, diverse culture, and the warmth of its people. But beyond its scenic beauty and cool climate, Baguio has also become a place of healing—a sanctuary for those seeking peace and recovery.
At KAYA Rehab, we see Baguio not just as a city, but as a partner in the healing journey. The serene environment, the fresh mountain air, and the calming natural surroundings create an ideal setting for recovery. Just as Baguio has grown and transformed over the years, so too do the individuals who come here to heal and rebuild their lives.
