Members of the Baguio Correspondents and Broadcasters Club will randomly select and “flag down” a passenger bus entering the city on April 6, Maundy Thursday, to pick this year’s “Lucky Summer Visitors.” /PDI
Selected tourists will be given what the group described as a “red-carpet treatment” during their stay: They will be given free hotel accommodations and tours around Baguio and neighboring towns, plus packs of locally grown vegetables and fruits as farewell presents.
The last LSV event was held in 2019. Selected that year were Antipolo City car retail manager Jeremy Lozada and his 5-year-old son Justine; and Iran Mae Santiago, Cecil Piquet and Joan Mae Toca, who were employees of an Antipolo car financing company. A version of the project was organized by BCBC in 1978. The current iteration began in 1983 after BCBC held a Holy Week “media camp” at Burnham Park, said Dizon.
“It was a purely Gold Ore media camp in the beginning. We set it up right across the Gold Ore office along Harrison Road… to give guys like [acclaimed news photographer] Eric de Castro and other Manila photographers a place to chill during Holy Week,” Dizon recalled.De Castro and the other journalists used to borrow Gold Ore’s darkroom to process their rolls of film as they worked for their respective Manila bureaus, he said.
