Answer : NEW YORK CITY FACTS
1. THE TERM “THE BIG APPLE” ORIGINALLY REFERRED TO HORSE RACING.
The city got its most famous nickname from a local newspaper’s horse racing column in the 1920s. Prior to the city’s adoption of the nickname, the phrase “Big Apple” was used to describe a big money prize at important horse races held around the city.
2. THE OLDEST BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY DATES BACK TO AROUND 1642.
Called the Wyckoff Farm, the Brooklyn house was originally built in the 1640s by a former indentured servant. The house was inhabited by the Wyckoff family until 1901, was named an official city landmark in 1965, and now functions as a museum dedicated to the city’s Dutch heritage.
3. BIRDWATCHERS HAVE SPIED 275 SPECIES OF BIRDS IN CENTRAL PARK.
New York City is home to more than just pigeons, and Central Park is an amazing place to bird watch. Out of approximately 800 known North American bird species, 275 have made appearances in the park. Bird watchers have been known to spot up to 100 species a day during spring migration.
4. NEW YORK CITY TAXIS WERE ORIGINALLY RED AND GREEN.
The yellow cab is one of the most recognizable symbols of New York City, but the first gasoline-powered cab company, founded in 1907, actually used red and green cars. In fact, yellow cabs were used in a number of other cities throughout the United States before New York adopted the color in 1912.
5. NEW YORKERS SPEAK APPROXIMATELY 800 LANGUAGES.
Over 37 percent of New Yorkers were born in another country, so it’s unsurprising that the city’s residents speak a wide range of languages—but by any account, 800 is impressive. Plus, some of the languages, like Quechua or Garifuna, are extremely rare or dying out even in their countries of origin.
BAGUIO CITY FACTS
1. Baguio came from the Ibaloi word “bagiw” which means “moss” because of the city’s abundant growth of mossy plants.

4. Baguio was originally designed to accommodate 30,000 people.
5. Today, the population has grown to about 400,000.
6. Before the Americans came, Baguio was populated by Ibaloi tribes
7. And, believe it or not, the barrel man was actually created by Ifugao woodcarvers as a protest against Americans who were displacing the Ibalois in the 1900s.
8. Before 1905, Baguio was only accessible by horse or donkey
9. This changed when Army Col. Lyman Kennon carved a narrow road on a cliffside. This is now called the Kennon Road.
10. With the outbreak of World War II, classes 1942 and 1943 of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) graduated prematurely and were assigned to combat units in Bataan.
