Ambo sa Bataan

Friday, JUNE 1, 2012 at around 7:30PM,

The team was actually waiting for any update regarding Typhoon Ambo (international codename: Mawar), and the position of it because our plan was already settle, everything was fine, start from Van, Food and the Venue which was Sun Moon  Resort.  While waiting for the update, I was preparing my Navy Blue Backpack sponsored by North Face, checking my Outdoor list and putting my stuff in my backpack.  FLASH REPORT just came into the TV Screen, and I was statering, I don't know what I need to do, greeeeee!!!!, and the weather girl started to talk about Typhoon Ambo, and seriously I can't focus on doing my shoutout for my fans that night while watching the tv.  So here the report: " (PAGASA) declared a public storm warning signal No. 1 in the provinces of Aurora, Isabela, Cagayan including Babuyan Island and Batanes group of Islands. " - so that means the typhoon will be going to the Northern part of the Philippines and Bataan is in Central Luzon, so posible that Ambo will be passing to our Venue and will say HELLO.

Krinnnnggggggg, my phone rung and it's an  alarm, 4:00AM, time to wake up and I can't stand because the

Bagac Bataan Escapade

4PM Saturday, after shift, the cast took a cab going to Genesis Transit Terminal in Cubao and paid 120Php for our bill.  Then, we occupied the middle part of the bus, travelled more or less 3 hours going to Balanga Terminal.  While on the way, we encoutered a thurderstorm which added a different twist and challenge in our travel.  Everyone prepared for anything that may happen while inside the bus, and that challenge was the brilliant lightning and roaring thunder.  And that was my first time travelling with these guys with that twist and I know now there weaknesses.  Makakita lang ng kidlat, tatabunan agad ang tenga, na akalamo mababawasan ng kulog, hindi naman. Anyways, When we get off the Genesis Bus at Balanga Terminal, we took mini Bus going to Bagac Tower, another challenge?, we waited for almost an hour before bus left the Terminal , and we were 3 sitting on one meter Bus's chair while holding our 50 Liters Trekking Backpack.  Extra challenge talaga, sobrang sikip, amoy kili-kili, tapos ang lakas ng ulan, sabayan pa ng sobrang lakas na kidlat at kulog, kayo nalang mag-isip kung anung feeling habang nagbabyahe ng mabilis ang bus and we spent 35 Php each for fare hangang Bagac Tower.

everyone was excited while walking along Antipolo Road, Bagac, Bataan

and we were like stars wearing our wet sando and shirts,

we're so amazed about the beauty of nature in that place

and when we saw the Falls, WOW, really stunning

plus the sound of the falls was really fresh

Storm chasing in Bataan

This video was captured during our Island hoping at Bagac, Bataan.

our plan was to go to different Caves in that place,

but, due to Inter-tropical Convergence Zone, we encountered

this thunderstorm while in the middle of the water.  And it added

a new challenge on our tour.
