Coworking Space: The CORE Workhub in Baguio

I work at The Core frequently. I like that it is quiet and accessible. The space is just very homey. Perfect to those who want to work comfortably. The people are friendly too. They also cater to small groups for meetings or trainings. There are two separate rooms available for small-group activities aside from a common room. They have a pantry where you can prepare your coffee or food. Cooking is not an option as they do not have a stove though. You may also takeout food as they only offer coffee or tea. The brewed coffee is one of the best I've tasted.

The space is cool and cozy and artsy. There’s unlimited coffee and tea too. They are having special events like poetry reading and mini concerts once in a while. It is also located just a few walks away from the major city establishments such as the city hall, firestation, market and city park. The units in the upper floors of the same building serves as lodging so you can spend the night there if you need to. The people are also cool and friendly. Plus, the fees are affordable and reasonable. They have nice interior and furniture that would make you feel like your are just working from home.

Besides providing a great working environment for individuals and groups, it also functions as an event space that fosters community and networking. Events are varied, catering to different sets of individuals. Examples of events that have happened in The CORE were: an art workshop for kids, a leadership discussion series, a music jam for the benefit of a service organization, and a music jam with poetry reading that allows individuals to share their advocacies. The location is also great because it's both central but not in the thick of traffic, so it's an easy walk if you're coming from the central business district.

Because it's a dedicated coworking space, you're saved from the busy food serving and "non-work" environment in a coffee shop. There's lots of space and you know people are there to work - gives you a lot more motivation and focus. If you do want to have some food, you can bring your own food and eat while you work. Coffee is on the house so that's a major perk. There's also a little urban garden at the balcony, so if your eyes are tired from looking at your laptop you get yourself a dose of greenery. All in all a great spot to do some real work.

The Core Work hub is a great place to get some work done. Baguio does not have that many co-working spots and this one definetly sticks out. Fast wifi, coffee, tea, and water are all available. Plenty of desk space and rooms for someone to work in. There is also, a small balcony in the back if you want to step outside and take a break. This place is located down an alleyway right off the street. One thing that I have observed is that this place is not crowded at all. If your looking for a cheap coworking spot where no one will bother you come here.

It's very cozy and homey so it is relaxing to work and even to have discussions with others. They have free coffee too.
