Who Brought Wild Sunflowers Into Baguio City and the Cordillera Region?

The wild sunflower (𝘛𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢) which you see everywhere in Baguio City is not native to the Philippines. It was actually imported from Mexico (hence its common name of Mexican sunflower). It's believed to have reached the Cordillera region in two waves. 

It was first brought into the country by the Spaniards through the Galleon Trade, the shipping route that connected Manila in the Philippines to Acapulco in Mexico. The plant was brought here as an ornamental plant. The American missionaries and teachers during the American period further introduced the wild sunflower into the Cordillera interior. 

These sunflowers are now everywhere in Baguio City and Cordillera provinces. 

There are various local names for it: 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘁, 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗶𝘁, 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗶𝘁, 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘄, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗹.
