The absolutely most popular product that
everyone always takes home -- the famous Baguio broom or "walis tambo!"
These brooms come with woven or wooden handles that usually bear the
name "Baguio City." They are such a popular cleaning implement
in every Filipino household that there are China-made copies already
being sold in Manila. Actually, the brooms are made in nearby Sablan,
Benguet, from the flower of the tiger grass ("Thysanolaena maxima"),
which the natives call boyboy (pronounced "booybooy") and sold there by
the road-side, but the Baguio City market provides visitors with the
widest selections to choose from.
