Baguio City, the country's summer capital, is on a mission to protect its remaining 'urban green spaces'—a movement that has taken root in other countries but not so much in the Philippines.As typical of developing countries, development here is still viewed as the construction of buildings and infrastructure to indicate economic growth.
