Most of us know that the standard time in Baguio is also the same in all places within the Philippines. For those who don’t know the current standard Baguio Time or if you are abroad and want to synchronize your time, I think this may help.
Also, visit google for more comparison of time.

Does it grow in lowlands?
Yes, absolutely, specially in the cold months of October, November, December, and January. However, it cannot sustain life all through out the year because it needs a constantly low temperature in order to survive. Many tried to germinate Sayote in the lowlands and observed that the quality of growth is only average.

Snow in Baguio City? definitely it will not happen. Although the city is experiencing a constantly low temperature because of its high elevation, it never encountered a point where there is a snow. There is no official report regarding this matter.
I have seen some videos concerning Snow in Baguio City, but none of them are real, they are all hoax or fake. If climate change affects the region, It would not be drastic. For now, I better believe in hailstorm than a snow occurring in the city.
However, there were attempts to create an artificial snow in a controlled environment. I am hoping that the organizers behind it do it regularly and should be free for public view.
I learned today that an Elevator Operator is not the proper term to use when you refer to a person operating inside an Elevator. That person must be called a Lift Attendant. I thought that it is similar to a Telephone Operator because of the nature of the job. Anyway, you can notice a Lift Attendant when you go inside Baguio Centermall or SM Baguio and use an Elevator.
There is no doubt that someday you will see a Job position “Lift Attendant” on a Classified Ads or anywhere else.
