Centennial Community Legacy Projects
In the countdown to Lions Clubs International’s 100-year celebration, Lions Clubs from all over the world are encouraged to plan a Centennial Community Legacy Project by June 30, 2018, to observe our centennial, and Baguio City Host Lions Club is taking part in the Centennial Legacy Project Program.
Centennial Legacy Projects are visible gifts to the public that will also serve as reminders of our club’s service contributions to the community and create a lasting legacy of our service contributions.

The Lion's Head of Baguio
Baguio City Host Lions Club embarked on an ambitious repainting of the 40-foot high Lion's Head monument along Kennon Road in Camp 6, Baguio City to give it a more realistic, fresher and brighter look.
The Lion's Head monument was conceptualized in the late 1960's by the members of the original Lions Club of Baguio (now Baguio City Host Lions Club). They commissioned a local artist to carve out the features of the massive Lion's Head from an existing limestone formation in the mountainside. The Lion's Head was unveiled to the public in 1972 in its natural black limestone color.
The Lion's Head became a tourist attraction, welcoming visitors to the City of Baguio.
Over the years, it has undergone various repaintings, and went through major repairs when the 7.7 magnitude twin earthquakes hit Baguio and severely damaged the Lion's Head.
In 2003, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed by then City Mayor (and Lion PDG) Bernardo M. Vergara, Club President Peter Ng and Mr. Albert Lee, CEO of Davies Paints Philippines, that authorizes Davies Paints to handle the repainting of the Lion's Head as required, under the supervision of Baguio City Host Lions Club.
The latest repainting effort, initiated by PDG Peter Go of BCHLC, employed paint technology that makes the sculpture less vulnerable to wear and tear caused by exposure to the weather. PDG Peter Go of BCHLC chaired the project.
The City Government of Baguio, with Baguio City Host Lions Club held a formal inauguration of the newly-repainted Lion's Head in June 2015. The affair was also witnessed by representatives from the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Department of Tourism, Davies Paints, the Philippine National Police and other organizations. BCNHS School of Performing Arts students and Baguio City Hall employees presented musical numbers.
The formal inauguration of the newly-repainted Lion's Head was organized by Baguio City Councilor and District 301-C Past Governor Elmer O. Datuin, MJF. The latest repainting effort was chaired by the indefatigable PDG Peter Go, 3PMJF.
In its 45-year history, the Lion's Head has proven to be a formidable presence in the City of Baguio, easily recognizable to locals and tourists alike, a true and lasting legacy to the city, and to the people.

Pedestrian Waiting Shed at Gov. Pack RoadBaguio City Host Lions Club has refurbished the pedestrian waiting shed outside the clubhouse along Gov. Pack Road, Baguio City.
The shed was built by our club some decades ago along with many other structures in Baguio City. It was cleaned and given fresh coats of paint, corresponding with LCI’s official colors of yellow and blue.
