The City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO) is at the heart of Baguio’s identity as the "City of Pines." Its primary mandate is to safeguard the city’s natural environment while maintaining its numerous parks, including Burnham Park, Wright Park, and Mines View Park. CEPMO is responsible for a wide range of critical services, from air and water quality monitoring to the management of the city’s watersheds and forest reserves. By balancing urban development with ecological preservation, the office ensures that Baguio remains a sustainable and liveable highland destination.
