| The Bluepoint Institute of Higher Technology Foundation (Bluepoint) continues bringing Linux and Open Source technologies to Filipinos nationwide as it hits the road this 2003. Patterned after the highly successful One Linux Day event of 2000, the Bluepoint Road Tour 2003 is a yearlong round trip from Manila and back, with stops in Baguio, Batangas, and Iloilo. This tour is made possible with the help of American Power Conversion and Computerworld Philippines. |  |

Baguio is approximately 250 kilometers north of Manila, situated in the Province of Benguet. It is 8 degrees cooler on the average than any place in the lowlands - Baguio seldom exceeds 26 degrees centigrade at its warmest. In the summer months of March, April, and May, Baguio lives up to its title as the "Summer Capital of the Philippines" when thousands of visitors from the lowlands and Manila flock to the city to cool off. Ilocano is the predominant dialect in the city. The national language, Filipino, is spoken by almost everyone. English is widely spoken and understood.PMA is the premier military institution of the country and is the training ground for future officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The academy, which is usually referred to as Fort Del Pilar, is located in a sprawling 373-hectare compound in Loakan, roughly 10 kilometers south of downtown Baguio City. |
