(DSC03560) Hollyhock, Common Hollyhock, Musk Mallow, Pink Mallow (Alcea rosea, Althaea chinensis, Althaea ficifolia, Althaea rosea) ..... Worcester and his party left for the expedition on July 1900. After one week in Trinidad Valley, Worcester returned to Manila and strongly urged the government to develop Baguio. According to Worcester, Baguio could: 1. Assist in the acclimatization because of the cool weather; 2. Help those who were sick or wounded to recuperate comfortably; and 3. Save the government millions of pesos by creating an alternative vacation destination. During the hot summer months, it was the practice for employees of the Colonial government to take their summer vacations in the United States or in neighboring countries with cool climates. These vacations were paid for by the Colonial Government and posed a heavy burden on the treasury. A summer resort that was easily accessible within the country’s boundaries was a cheap alternative and could benefit more people. (Taken from Heritage Conservation Society)
