it belongs to, environment, government, and employees as

4.2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE

The name of barangay as BURNHAM-LEGARDA is due to the

Road and Burnham Park. Legarda Road was named after Mr.
Benito Legarda one of the signatories to the declaration
of Baguio as a township by the Philippine Commission that
met in Baguio (Bag-iw) during the American regime. Burnham
Park, on the other hand got its name after the American
town planner, Archt. Daniel Burnham, who laid out the plans
of Baguio as a township briefly at the turn of the 19th
Century.
