Peaks and Memories
Bakit ka umaakyat?
Isang tanong na mahirap sagutin, bakit nga ba? But my answer is simply
I Love Nature and it feels like home.
Bata palang exposed na sa hiking, yung tipong bibili ka lang ng asin at toyo tatawid ka pa sa kabilang bundok.
Anyway here is the few list of my hikes..
Mt Balingkilat
The locals call it 'bundok ng kidlat' and we witness it, our team caught a thunderstorm while decsending this mountain in open trail and that is so scary!
Mt Batolusong
One of the many popular mountain in Tanay, Rizal.
Mt Binacayan
I considered this hike as my most dangerous mountain to descend. Isang dulas o wrong step mo lang sa mga sharp limestone goodbye life + basa kase umulan the night before. This is not exaggerating.
Mt Cinco Picos
Our team reach only peak 1 of the 3 peaks. Noong nakita na yung beach (Silanguin Cove), tinamad nang mag ascend sa iba pang peaks at dali-daling bumaba.
Mt Damas
Popular because of its trail that includes river trekking/crossing, portions of rappelling, unlimited ups and down plus sidetrip in Ubod Falls (120ft waterfalls).
Mt Daraitan
One of the pioneer business mountain of Tanay :D summited twice.
Mt Kabunian
This mountain showcase most scenic views in its trail, also described as dangerous trail. You may also call it Mt Hagdan dahil sa puro hagdan, to make it friendly for the hikers. One of my favorite :)
Mt Kalbaryo
If you're looking for super chill and friendly hike with good views, trail and waterfalls sidetrip eto na yun. And you'll end up eating special lomi after the hike.
Mt Lagyo
Part of the Rodriguez Trilogy V2, easy climb, good views, overlooking of the neighboring mountains of Rizal, walang part na patag sa peak para magpahinga dahil puro sharp limestone.
Mt Lubo
The highest mountain in Bakun Trio 2,087 MASL, considered as a practice climb in a traditional hike itinerary bago ka pahirapan ng Mt Tenglawan.
Mt Lubog
Kung saan lulubog ang paa mo sa kapal ng putik (Rainy days). It's hard to get here need 2+ hours habal-habal ride with super rough road may part pa na magtutulak ka para maiahon yung habal sa panget ng daan. Worth it naman when you get in the summit.
Mt Maculot
Is one of the most popular daytrip destination in Batangas. Parang may disco sa trail sa dami ng 'tourist' na nagpapatugtog habang naglalakad.
Mt Mapalad
Good hiking destination, may parts na nakakahingal din medjo steep at waterfalls sidetrip.
Mt Maynoba
Good spot in summit for sea of clouds, let me call it river of clouds. Kung saan nakilala ko ang aking travel/hiking buddy at girlfriend <3 p="">

Nagpatong Rock
Eto legit na buwis buhay, ika nga "no room for mistakes" :D
Mt Natib
My mother mountain, after 3 summit attempts nagka clearing din! Favorite ko din yung trail dito very friendly may konting challenge din sa rappelling portions and that is good for a practice climb.
Mt Pamitinan
Easy climb but the view here is superb!
Panimahawa Ridge
A 3-4 hour hike to this beautiful mountian ridge in Bukidnon.
Pico de Loro - Monolith
I'm lucky na inabutan ko pa 'to na open for hikers.
Mt Pigingan
When we hike there it's raining all the way, a bit disappointed, I'm not like others na they don't aim daw for the view what they want is challenge daw, well I aim for view to see God's creation.
Mt Pulag
The most beautiful summit view in Philippines. The mother of all sea of clouds. Nakakamiss yung tagos hanggang buto na lamig.
Mt Pundaquit
My first mountain + beach traverse. Pabebe hiker.
Mt Susong Dalaga
Also part of Rodriguez Trilogy V2 together with Mt Parawagan and Mt Lagyo. They name it that coz alam n'yo na.
Mt Tabayoc
Weather here is very cold because Benguet, challenging 'Monkey Trail', a mossy forest and a beautiful summit view. This is a must to climb.
Mt Talamitam
Nakup sobrang init! But good thing is madami kubo to rest and buko juice. In short magastos.
Mt Tapulao
The Poorman's Pulag because of the very cold weather, pine trees and its height 2,037 meters. My first mountain love.
Mt Mariveles - Tarak Ridge
Wayback 2015 where I said to myself that I will never ascent a mountain again after that, a major hike turns into extra major hike cause of the rain.
Mt Tenglawan
My favorite peak, buwis buhay din umakyat dito sa 'Carrot Peak' need extra precaution. The view itself is superb!
Mt Timbak
A 30 minute hike and tada summit na agad, the most easy yet breathtaking view. Part of Luzon 3-2-1 (Timbak-Tabayoc-Pulag) trilogy.
Tirad Pass/Peak
A memorable hike where one hiker fell at the peak. But still worth to visit again, good experience.
Treasure Mountain
Hiking no need, just pay entrance and other fees and that's it, picture-picture na!
Mt Ugo
A traditional 1 of 3 Cordillera Great Traverse, hindi 'to papahuli sa isa sa pinakamagandang bundok, maganda ang view sa trail, campsite at summit.
Mt Ulap
Well, every mountain enthusiast know this popular Gungal Rock viewing deck. Lahat gusto magka picture dito.

Feeling blogger's note:
Overall sympre mahirap, magastos, naka ilang absent after hike pero palagi naman masaya! Every mountain has a diffirent and unique experience, just take your time and appreciate what mother nature's can offer, i-enjoy yung pagkakataon na wala ka sa iyong comfort zone. Don't hesitate to take risk but precautions is important and alaways practice L E A V E N O T R A C E. Respect the place coz every mountain has its guardian.
Thank you for reading :)
