Good Shepherd Convent
Posted by on June 15, 2010
One of the places I visited during my stay in Baguio City Philippines is the Good Shepherd Convent located along Gibraltar Road. The convent is located 300 meters away from the popular Mines View Park.
The Good Shepherd Convent is popular for its products being sold as pasalubong items. Among the popular products of the convent are the Ube Jam, Strawberry Jam, Strawberry Jelly, and other fruit preserves.
The Good Shepherd Convent sends several youth into school through their scholarship program. Many of these scholars work inside the convent in packing the bottled preserves during their free time.
The price of Ube Jam and other bottled products in Good Shepherd is a bit higher compared to the ones being sold in parks, and in Public market. This is because the quality of the goods in Good Shepherd convent is topnotch, and a portion of the sales of these products goes to the tuition fees of the scholars of the convent.
so when you are in Baguio, never fail to drop by the Good Shepherd Convent for the best tasting Ube Jam!
