When we arrived at Puerto Princesa, Palawan after our field visit in the malaria-endemic municipalities at the southern part of Palawan, we visited Baker’s Hill to buy “pasalubong” pastries. Baker’s Hill is situated atop a hill in Barangay Santa Monica, Puerto Princesa.

Baker’s Hill, as the name suggests, began as a simple bakery with a small park. Over time, it transformed into a popular tourist attraction known for its unique architecture and vibrant, life-sized statues of beloved cartoon characters. Visitors are drawn to its charming atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to buy souvenirs and sweet delicacies to take home.
