"Yes, Baguio City in the Philippines is known for its cultural diversity. It is a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities, including the indigenous Ibaloi and Kankanaey people, as well as a mix of Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, and other ethnic groups from different parts of the country. There is also a growing number of foreign residents, adding to the city's multicultural character.
