The city also holds rich historical and cultural heritage that anyone could only encounter in Baguio while enjoying the distance away from the tropical heat.

On the other hand, living in those moments could not be making the most out of it, especially for those like me who keeps the memories alive in photo albums and social media feeds. In this quick getaway, OPPO brings in a leveled up trip with its photo capturing features and long battery life. And with those features from the brand, I got to enjoy and capture the present in Baguio.
