BAGUIO CITY โ The Baguio Correspondents and Broadcasters Club (BCBC) concluded the 2026 “Media Camp”, which is a tradition that the Cordilleraโs largest media organization has sustained for decades.
“Maayos naman, nakaraos tayo kahit simple at tahimik na activity ang ginawa natin. Importante din na na-achieve natin ang goal na magsama-sama sa pag-alala ng mga kasama natin na pumanaw at magkita-kita bilang media practitioners,” said Dionisio Dennis Jr., president of the BCBC.
He added that the media camp was toned down, limiting the use of natural resources and other logistics.
He said that the annual search for Baguio-Benguet Lucky Summer Visitor (LSV) was put on hold in keeping with the directive for everyone to observe energy-saving measures amid the fuel crisis, aside from an opportunity to mourn the loss of media colleagues in an accident in Itogon after an advocacy shoot.
He said that the camp also provided an opportunity for catching up with colleagues in the profession, friends in the media, and visitors who visited.
Still lined up for Dennis’ term are trainings, tree planting and tree tending activities during the rainy season, and a basic life support refresher training.
Dennis expressed gratitude to the partners for their unending support of the local media in all its endeavors.
This year’s partners who helped provide for the necessary logistics for the media camp were: Baguio Country Club (BCC), Hotel and Restaurant Association of BAGUIO (HRAB), SM Prime Holdings, Benguet Electric Cooperative, Benguet Corporation, PITX, Philex Mining Corporation, Cresent Mining Corporation, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, Aboitiz Renewables-Hedcor, Philippine Mine Safety and Environment Association, Philippine Veterans Bank, Mangaywan Corporation, Benguet Electric Cooperative, Baguio Water District, and the League of Association of La Trinidad Vegetable Trading Area.
Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, Baguio Rep. Mauricio Domogan, Senator Lito Lapid, KM Ngayon Na Rep. Kenneth Paolo Tereng, Councilor Rocky Aliping, the Office of the Presidential Adviser for the Cordillera Administrative Region Asec. Antonio “Tony Boy” Tabora Jr., and PB Gen. Elmer Ragay.
He also expressed gratitude to the companies and local government units that have agreed to host the chosen LSV, had the activity been pursued.
They are the City Government of Baguio, Province of Benguet, Local Government Units of Tuba, La Trinidad, Tublay, and Barangay Taloy Sur in Tuba.
Association of Barangay Councils of Baguio, Baguio City Tourism Office, Baguio City Environment and Parks Management Office, Baguio City Police Office, Supreme Hotel, Agetyeng Travel and Tours, Stone Kingdom, Tam-awan Village, Admiral Farm, Beacon Hill Eco-Park, Polig Farm, Mount Camisong Forest Resort, Benguet State University, and Philippine Military Academy.
Dennis said the livelihood training that was supposed to be part of the media camp activity is also rescheduled for this April.
The media camp and search for LSV is an institutionalized activity of the Baguio-based media for over six decades, which is the group’s contribution to the local tourism industry. #
