We flew MNL-BAG (according to my wife) on a small propeller plane with a capacity of about 24 pax, but it was not a charter. I don't think it was connected with PAL. My wife and I stayed downtown, if not at the Casa Vallejo, then somewhere almost as old and about the same size (24 rooms).
I did hike through the pine forest at Camp John Hay. As a naval officer who stopped at Subic Bay enroute to and from the Indian Ocean, the CH-46 helicopter pilots always flew up to Baguio, spoke highly of it, and I was aware of the Summer Capital history under Governor Taft, so I wanted to visit. I did buy the obligatory bottle of strawberry wine, and need not do that again. I only saw the Philippine Military Academy from a distance.
