Luneta Hill used to be where the ill-fated Pines Hotel used to stand until the unfortunate fire that brought it down way back in the 80's. Despite this unfortunate event the number of pine trees that grew on the area served an important role in keeping the clean air in the central business district, Unfortunately SM decided to cut all these pine trees in favor of a parking area. It is nice to have SM in the city of Baguio since people can have more and perhaps better options with their shopping needs and dinning activities, I myself enjoy spending time in SM-Baguio during my vacant hours but this cannot replace the benefits that nature can bring to the community specially in keeping a clean and wholesome environment.
