PMA @Baguio City

Yep. Philippine Military Academy (PMA)  might sound overrated already for tourists but this is actually the first time I've visited the place. I think it is a must to visit the school when you are in Baguio. So what's to look forward to at PMA by first timers?

War tanks


The old war tanks was out first stop. If history really interests you, they have labels for each tank of when and where it was used (I think, but it surely has information on it just forgot to take a pic hehehe). And most of  these tanks dates back to World War I & II, I guess. 

Pine Trees


PMA is probably one of the best place to view Pine Trees, where trees looked like  it was planted uniformly.


This is one of old trees I've spotted. :D
Tree House


This tree house gives a really nice view from the top. :D


The Academy has got nice buildings where you can snap a shot.
Boodle Bar


Try to visit the Boodle Bar, we stopped here to have some snacks. They also sell souvenirs, mostly shirts and jackets with PMA imprints. 


And this is the simple clock that intrigued me, which is found inside the Boodle Bar. The hands of this clock moves counterclockwise, see the numbers are written from 12-1. According to the store manager, this clock can only be found in PMA and was purposely put there as a conversational piece. It does make a good conversation starter!


And so, what's the use of visiting PMA if you haven’t got a picture with the students. You might wonder, but those PMA cadet beside me are girls. They just need to maintain that kind of haircut.

Students here were really trained to be stiff, see there's only the three of us who cared to smile. Hehehehehehehe. But they were really nice to stay with us and bear a series of shots.


 Speaking of buildings, as I mentioned earlier, they've got really nice architectural designs. Like the one I posed on. The whole building looked like it can be found in other countries cause it has that Korean-sort-of appeal. :D

PMA Musuem


PMA Museum was just near the Boodle Bar. We only paid 40 pesos each for entrance fee. You probably know what to see in the museum so no need to describe what's inside. I'll write a separate post about it anyway. Hehehe

Others


 You'll appreciate the nice road they got there. As well as...


The view of the mountain with that thick clouds or fog (or might be a mix of both). :D
