FacebookYahooEmailShareThis BAGUIO CITY, May 23 (PIA) – – The city government of Baguio inaugurated here today two newly built function halls at the former Diplomat Hotel located along Dominican-Mirador Barangay.
The function halls, which are part of the city government’s development projects for the Heritage Hill and Nature Park, are open to the public for any event or activity such as weddings, trainings, workshops, and seminars, among others.
Baguio Heritage Committee co-chair Councilor Philian Loise Weygan, in a kapihan media forum, said that the city’s development projects at the said Heritage Hill and Nature Park are part of the city’s goal to preserve the area as a heritage site as well as to promote it as a historical, spiritual, and environmental area that both the people of Baguio and tourist alike, can visit and enjoy.
The place is also the site of the biggest Ten Commandment stone tablet in the world, which was officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Record.
The Baguio Dominican Heritage Hill and Nature Park was a property of the Dominican Order in 1900s. The building, which was inaugurated in 1915 , was first used as a summer retreat house. In 1973, Diplomat Hotels gained ownership but ceased operations in 1987. Later, it became a property of the Ministry of the Human Settlements and later by the Presidential Management Staff.
The area was later conveyed to Baguio City and officially became its property with Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) number T-85948 entered in April 5, 2005. Based on the Deed of Conveyance and City Resolutions, the city shall rehabilitate the old building, develop the property into a nature park with appropriate amenities and facilities for tourism, spiritual, environmental, and historical purposes.
According to Weygan, the city government has already spent P35 million worth of development projects in the area, which are now being maintained by the City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO). Security personnel are also in place to ensure order and safety.
Weygan also disclosed that they have also already submitted a project proposal for the establishment of an eco-walk trail, gazebo, and view deck, which would be an added attraction for visitors and tourists. (JDP/CCD-PIA CAR)
