(DSC03471) Hollyhock, Common Hollyhock, Musk Mallow, Pink Mallow (Alcea rosea, Althaea chinensis, Althaea ficifolia, Althaea rosea) ..... Official investigation into the possibility of having a summer resort began as early as July 1900. The Commission had heard rumors of a settlement in the mountains of Benguet where the weather was cool, and the landscape full of pine trees. William Howard Taft, head the first Philippine Commission, appointed Dean Worcester (accompanied by Luke E. Wright) to investigate the rumors, and to explore the opportunities of having a health resort up in the mountains of Benguet. Worcester was the only American official to have lived in the Philippines during the Spanish period. He was a zoologist by profession, and was quite traveled in the Philippines. He was therefore the perfect candidate to head the expedition. (Taken from Heritage Conservation Society)
