Mt. Manabu

Sa ikalawang pagkakataon, naakyat ko din ang Mt. Manabu. Ito ang unang summit na kung saan nakapag-overnight ako with friends. Our story that time was here: Freedom Climb 2012. Pero this time, I was still with some friends, pero mas challenging dahil nag-traverse kami from Mt. Malipunyo to this mountain. Our story, click here: Mt. Manabu

Mt. Malipunyo

Kakaibang challenge ang naramdaman ko sa pag-traverse from Mt. Malipunyo to Mt. Manabu. Challenging s'ya para sakin kasi masakit parin ang aking tuhod. Iba na talaga pag tumatanda. Anyways, for more photos and our story, click here: Mt. Malipunyo

Mt. Daguldol

Another mountain that the province of Batangas can be proud off is Mt. Daguldol. It is located few meters from the beach area of the town of San Juan. This mountain is perfect for the people who want to start hiking as interest. The trail is simple and hikers can enjoy the good ambiance in here. This mountain has three major camp sites where hikers can stay. The summit is a wide open area that can accommodate a lot of tents. The wind on the summit is cool and fresh plus a perfect view of shoreline of San Juan. More photos here: Mt. Daguldol

Mt. Mantalingajan

Hiking this mountain is a dream come true! I left my job just for this climb. This mountain is part of MIMAROPAs Big 3 mountains which is situated in Rizal, Palawan. Got the 9/9 rating in terms of its difficulty and considered as one of the most difficult mountains to climb in the Philippines. In this climb, I met a lot of new friends, some were new to mountaineering and the others were the foundations. The whole journey in this climb was remarkable. Read our journey here: Mt. Mantalingajan Traverse.

Mt. Batulao

For me this is the most beautiful mountain that I've been to. Because of the gorgeous formation of its ranges, the cool ambiance, the green surroundings, the simple trails and the location is accessible from Manila. This hike was organized by JaVee for his 1 year anniversary in the mountaineering field. Read our journey here: Mt. Batulao Traverse.

Mt. Pico de Loro

Bagamat busy ako sa bagong career ko, nagawan ko parin nang paraan upang mapuntahan ko ulit ang bundok na ito. Mahigit isang taon na ang nakakaraan nang huli kong marating ang summit nito, subalit dahil sa isang imbitasyon, inakyat kong muli ito kasama ang Team Pagong Mountaineers.

Oldest Church in the Philippines

Maraming nagtatanong, bakit puro simbahang katoliko ang nakapublish sa travel blog ko. Sagot ko naman, bilang isang taong nahihilig sa kasaysayan ng bansa, kasama ang ang simbahan dito. Tanging mga simbahan lamang ang mga lugar na hindi masyadong nawasak dahil sa giyera. Nagsilbi itong mga ospital at taguan ng mga Pilipino noong unang panahon. Para hindi na nga akong nagdidiscus, please click here for more photos: Old Churches in the Philippines

Mt. Damas Traverse Circuit

Minor man daw sa paningin dahil sa taas ng bundok na ito, major naman pagdating sa difficulty. Nag-iisa lamang ito sa Pilipinas at Tarlac lang ang meron. Napagdaanan namin ang river crossing, steep trail, gasgas ng mga talahib, rope segments, bouldering at kung anu-ano pa. Naging masaya kami dito, kaya kayo check more photos here: TravellingCup

Camiling Parish Church

Isa nanaman lumang istruktura ang aking nakita habang kumakain. Ito ang St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church sa Camiling, Tarlac. Naiwan nalang ang harapang bahagi ng simbahan dahil sa isang sunod nuong 1997. Pero sa ngayon, ang lumang simbahang ito ay ginagawang isang museyo. More photos here: TravellingCup
