Benguet — Salad Bowl of the Philippines

Benguet is the salad bowl of the Philippines, home to the summer capital Baguio City and the vast vegetable terraces of La Trinidad. The cool mountain climate supports strawberry farms, highland vegetables, and flower gardens that supply much of Luzon. Ibaloi and Kankanaey indigenous communities maintain cultural traditions including the cañao feast, where pigs are ritually sacrificed and shared with the community. Local cuisine features pinikpikan (a traditional chicken dish), etag (smoked aged meat), and strawberry-topped treats. The Panagbenga Flower Festival draws visitors from across the country every February.
