The weather in Sagada is so different from the rest of Luzon that it is actually possible to have orange orchards in some areas. One of the largest is the one around Rock Inn – easily one of the most remote but stunning hostels in town. The inn has its on drive way that takes visitors deep into a valley around 2 to 3 kilometers away from the town center. This is a perfect spot for people who want peace and quiet.
The inn also offers the unique experience of orange picking. For just 50 pesos entrance fee, you can enter the premises and get all the oranges you want. The oranges you get will be weighed and priced at a fairly reasonable 50 pesos per kilo once you step out of the premises.

The Sagada Genuine Guides Association or SaGGAs would be once again hosting a year end bonfire party on December 28. The guides hosted an awesome feast last year and I definitely have a lot of photos that would never be posted on Facebook from that night. As you can see on the poster, the cost of the ticket is 250 pesos – inclusive of transportation to the bonfire site, dinner, drinks and the entertainment (cultural presentation) for the night. Expect to dance around the fire til midnight! 
This should be fun! Please contact 09295569533 or email sagadagenuineguides@gmail.com for any inquiries.

The recent typhoon (Megi/ local name: Juan) has caused landslides and road slips in parts of Halsema Highway but I have been told that the roads are still passable and buses are still doing regular trips. Just expect a few hours delay due to worse road conditions. Again, both roads leading to Sagada are passable – this includes that goes through Banaue and the one that goes through Baguio City.
Power has also been restored.
Show your support to Sagada, Mountain Province by visiting soon! Cheers

Typhoon Megi (Typhoon Juan) lashed Northern Philippines with gusts of wind in excess of 300 kilometers per hour making it the strongest typhoon in recent history. While the people of Northern Luzon have always been known for their resilience and hardiness, the unique geography of the area makes the logistics of giving assistance challenging and time-consuming. As I type this, many towns – especially those in the Cordillera Administrative Region – are currently isolated. The photo above was taken by Naty Sugguiyao of Kalinga.
Following last year’s Typhoon Pepeng, Sagada was without power for almost two weeks and the travel time from Baguio lengthened from five hours to well over nine hours due to the many landslides that affected the Halsema Highway.
They need our help. Please donate to the Philippine Red Cross. Send encouraging words to your family and friends who live in the typhoon ravaged provinces – Isabela, Cagayan Valley, Kalinga, Apayo, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan, Quirino, Benguet, Abra, La Union and Aurora.
Or better yet, visit them in a few week’s time to show them your support.
