Metro Baguio, also known as BLISTT, is an agglomeration of the city of Baguio and five municipalities of the Philippine province of Benguet, namely: La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba, and Tublay.
Long proposed and supported by the NEDA-Regional Development Council-Cordillera,[2] it was previously defined between 2007 and 2017 as one of twelve metropolitan areas in the Philippines.[3][4] The original "BLIST" long existed as a concept since its inception in August 1990, a month after the 1990 earthquake which devastated the city of Baguio and other surrounding areas,[5] and only existed as an informal reference to the area. The concept was later amended into "BLISTT" in 2009, which included the municipality of Tublay, despite not being adjacent to the city of Baguio.[5] It was officially established after a signing of a memorandum of agreement by the mayors of the component local government units.[6]
