BAGUIO CITY, Oct. 30 (PIA) — It’s now official, the Ten Commandments Tablet donated to the city government has made it to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Erected at the Dominican Heritage Hill and Prayer Mountain, it stands majestically at 152.90 square meters (1,645 ft.) and is now considered the tallest Ten Commandments Tablet in the world and the first Guinness World Record of Baguio.

Councilor Phillian Louise Weygan-Allan, who heads the Character City Council, emphasized the importance of having a site in the city where all religions are welcome and where one can enrich his faith.
The program ended with Israeli Ambassador Bar-on planting the first ever ‘Olive Tree’ from Israel in front of the structure with a prayer in Hebrew ‘for the country and Baguio City to move forward’ in faith and progress .(Paul Rillorta, PIA CAR/PR-PIO Baguio City)
