The Cemetery of Negativism. Camp John Hay, Baguio City. erected, c1980s. Otherwise known as The Lost Cemetery or Pet Cemetery as others fondly call it, the Cemetery of Negativism is one of the famous sites found within the Historical Core of Camp John Hay. Designed by then Base Commander Major John Hightower, the Cemetery of Negativism is the symbolic burial place of negativism, said to be man’s greatest self-imposed infliction, his most limiting factor, and his heaviest burden. As you walk along the path and read (and be amused by) the epitaphs, you will leave the negativities in the hill and remember to be more positive for the rest of your life. The Cemetery of Negativism is not really a burial place for people. It was actually a burial ground for all the negative thoughts like those that might be killing you over the years. Literally burying a ‘negative thought’ can be impossible; but psychologically it has the benefit of letting it go. As a matter of fact, even children can appreciate this without even realizing that this place is tagged as cemetery. Instead of seeing dirty old, cracking tombs, you can see funny-looking statues on top of each small tombs. These peculiar yet amusing characters can remind you about a Cartoon Network program or some familiar jolly comic strips. This place is really full of profound humor and cleverness.
