Cherry of the Rio Grande, Green Sapote, Tamarillo, Naranjilla, Mountain Papaya, Macadamia, Cherimoya, Lucuma, Raspberries(We have a native species)
For additional information, Baguio City has a few nights where temperatures drop to around 7°C (45°F) every year. On the other side of the scale, temperatures rarely rise above 27°C (80°F). The city also has a dry season from December-April. I hope that helps.

These are worth growing and probably not common in the Philippines.
Atemoya, loquat, achacha, Mexican Garcinia, Psidium Guineense, Barbados cherry, canistel, ross sapote, figs, apples, persimmon, jujube, passion fruit, white sapote, guabiju, wampee, pitangatuba, marula, monkey orange, mulberries, peaches, citrus, kwai muk, avocado, akee, black sapote, mamey sapote, grumachama, icecream bean, pomegranate, cambuca, mamoncillo

There are so many good fruits common or native to the Philippines like duhat, velvet apple, camachili, chico, sineguelas...

Interstingly, fruits like the canistel, mamey sapote, mulberries, rollinia, passion fruit, atemoya, acerola, black sapote, pomegranate etc. have been in the country for a long time. Many people even mistake those aforementioned fruits as indigenous species. It just seems they never took off because people don't know how to use it. Avocados and are an exception and is actually quite common. Widespread citrus plantations on the other hand were destroyed in the 60's by citrus canker. I'm not sure if peaches, persimmon and Mediterranean figs can be grown in Baguio though. It may be worth a try, I just think its either too wet and humid or too warm in winter months.
In addition, Campomanesias, and other species of Mangifera and Durio may work in the highland subtropical climate of Baguio.

Peaches, persimmon and fig fruit in Florida so it might fruit in Baguio.  Persimmon and fig are very low chill.  Very low chill peaches might fruit also.
But I'm not that familiar with the Philippines and have never been to Baguio, so I'm no expert.
