  • I've been there only once, through akiki-ambangueg. I'm looking forward to our return on Feb. n_n
  • I've heard many news about this majestic place... I hope I could reach Mt. Pulag ;)
  • 1993..,one of my most memorable climb in the Philippines... it's a two to three days joy climb with all my things at your back...but, still we have a lot of fun mapping lots of inticing outcrop along the way. This place should be given consideration as far as budgetary funding for tourism and as well as development work for geological explorer's interest.
