Mt. Gulugod Baboy

Mt. Gulugod Baboy lies in Brgy. Maligaya, Mabini Batangas. The mountain is good for beginners since it is a 2-hour and a moderate trail. The campsite can accommodate a large number of hikers. But what is most awaited here is when you go down. There are lots of diving resorts here where you can jump in after the trek.

The trek, actually should a day trek, but because of some pasaways, we're started to ascend at 6 and reach the campsite at 8. I don't bring my headlamp since we'll reach the campsite with the sun still up...pasaway din pala ako..But still we reached the campsite safe and all complete thanks to Kuya Anoy maliwanag ang headlamp nya, saka all my expenses were paid by him..libre nya tlga ako..hehehe..

Si Kuya Anoy yong nasa likod ko..yong nakaharap hemple..

Tapia Falls in Batad, Ifugao Province

This is the Tapia Falls, can be found in the heart of Batad where the most beautiful Banaue Rice Terraces lies.

Whew… This is our induction climb in Tarak Ridge in Bataan. This is the end of all the burdens of being a trainee, lol, but we really have fun during those training times… We have a great bonding time even some were not able to attend the induction for some personal reasons.

Unfortunately I’m not feeling well when we climb the Tarak Ridge, I have a fever but still I made it til we went down and have some good time til we finally go home..

The Majestic Mount Apo

We camp at Lake Vinado where you can almost reach the top of Mt. Apo..too close huh? Yeah I was there and was able to conquer the Philippine's highest peak. It was my fulfilling moment as a mountaineer, thus still longing for more (but I need to save more money..lol)..Yeah I'm longing for more..I want to surmount the top 5 highest peaks and after that I'll still want more..hahaha..
