MT.PINATUBO

Mount Pinatubo's summit before the 1991 eruption was 1,745 m (5,725 ft) above sea level, only about 600 m (2,000 ft) above nearby plains, and only about 200 m (660 ft) higher than surrounding peaks, which largely obscured it from view.[11] It is part of a chain of volcanoes which lie along the western side of the island of Luzon called the Zambales Mountains.

Pinatubo belongs to the Cabusilan sub-range of the Zambales Mountains, which consists of Mt. Cuadrado, Mt. Negron, Mt. Mataba and Mt. Pinatubo.They are subduction volcanoes, formed by the Eurasian Plate sliding under the Philippine Mobile Belt along the Manila Trench to the west. Mount Pinatubo and the other volcanoes on this volcanic belt arise due to magmatic occlusion from this subduction plate boundary.

Pinatubo is flanked on the west by the Zambales Ophiolite Complex, which is an easterly-dipping section of Eocene oceanic crust uplifted during the late Oligocene. The Tarlac Formation north, east and southeast of Pinatubo consists of marine, nonmarine and volcanoclastic sediments formed in the late Miocene and Pliocene.

The most recent study of Mount Pinatubo before the activities of 1991 was the overall geological study in 1983 and 1984 made by F. G. Delfin for the Philippine National Oil Company as part of the surface investigations of the area before exploratory drilling and well testing for geothermal energy sources in 1988 to 1990. He recognized two life histories of the mountain, which he classified as "ancestral" and "modern" Pinatubo.

APO WHANG OD / MARIA OGGAY

At 103 years old, Whang-Od Oggay (who also goes by Whang-od or Maria Oggay) is helping to keep an ancient tradition alive in the Kalinga province of the Philippines. She’s the country’s oldest mambabatok, a traditional Kalinga tattooist. Each morning at dawn, Whang-Od wakes to craft a mixture of ink from pine soot and water in preparation to apply hand-tapped tattoos on the bodies of people from around the world. Although many come to see her, their journey is no small feat. Visitors make a 15-hour drive north of Manila to the mountain village of Buscalan, which is only accessible by hiking a mile from the nearest dirt road through a forest and rice terraces.

Whang-Od inks multiple tattoos a day using a few tools—a thorn from a pomelo tree, a foot-long bamboo stick, coal, and water. The handmade ink is tapped deep into the skin using the thorn and bamboo to push it in. The results are permanent motifs that range from lines to simple shapes to tribal prints to animals. Each carries meanings such as strength, beauty, and fertility.

The hand-tapped body art began with the indigenous Butbut warriors. For these men, the addition of tattoos had a very specific meaning; they could only be inked after killing someone. On women, however, body art fell within standards of beauty. Whang-Od recalls that during her youth, her friends covered her arms and legs in tattoos. It’s also when she started to learn how to apply them to others. At age 15, under the guidance of her father, she started her tattoo apprenticeship. It represented a break in the practice as men were the only ones allowed to learn how to tattoo.

Keeping the mambabatok tradition alive is more challenging than you might think. The culture believes that this art can only be passed down to blood relatives. Otherwise, the tattoos will become infected. Whang-Od has no children of her own, but she’s not afraid of the art dying out. She’s trained her grandnieces to become tattoo masters of their own.

NAGPATONG ROCK
(Mt.Masungki)

Nagpatong Rock is getting a lot of exposure recently, have you been to this latest hot spot in Rizal Province?

Apparently, Rizal has quickly evolved into a mountaineer’s playground with the opening of new spots, trails and peaks for mountain lovers and outdoor junkies. One that has gained a lot of attention and even featured in a film is Nagpatong Rocks at the foot of Mount Masungki in Barangay Cuyambao, Tanay Rizal.

Nagpatong Rock consists of two towering limestone cliffs facing each other. These towers seem to be made up of layers of huge blocks of rock place on top of each other hence the name Nagpatong, from Tagalog word “patong” or to put on top. But how these rock formations were formed is a secret only nature knows.

The most photographed view of Nagpatong Rock is the one with a flat top which is usually taken from the other rock formation. To accomplish this shot, your guide will assist you to the flat top before going to the other rock formation to take the shot.

Nagpatong Is really an impressive formation but not for those who have weak hearts or fear of heights. Climbing to the top of the rock is not easy as it involves climbing through bamboo ladders and vertical walls, so climb at your own risk. Risky but a worthy feat!

ESPADANG BATO

Rizal Province’s proximity to Metro Manila has quickly made it a playground for adventure seekers who want a quick escape from the busy city life. With its numerous mountains and peaks, caves, waterfalls and river systems, there are a lot in store for outdoor people who prefer to explore the varied landscape of this province.

The town of Rodriguez (formerly Montalban) alone, which is just a stone-throw away from Quezon City, offers numerous attractions for mountain enthusiasts. From the popular Mount Balagbag, Mount Pamitinan, Mount Binacayan, Mount Hapunang Banoi, Mount Sipit-Ulang, Mount Ayaas and Mt. Maranat to lesser known Mount Lagyo, Mount Oro, Mount Rayak, Mount Magloko, Mount Payacin, Mount Kapananan and more smaller mountains that offer thrill to novice mountaineers and escape to experienced ones.

These mountains hides unique and iconic spots that will certainly pique the curiosity of everyone. One of them is Espadang Bato, a rock formation in the mountains of Barangay Mascap of Rodriguez, Rizal.

It isn’t difficult to understand the reason why locals dubbed it as Espadang Bato which is quite obvious with its sharply pointed shape resembling a sword. At a height of 455 meters above sea level, the novelty of this spot makes it one of, if not the most visited peaks among the mountains of Rodriguez.

This site is approximately 3.6 kilometers away from Barangay Hall of Mascap. It follows the same gradual trail to the junction of nearby Mount Sipit Ulang forking to a trail to the south, around 1.5 kilometers in length. Past the junction is a steep trail passing through boulders and keen limestone rocks, culminating to a sharply protruded rock formation that we come to know as Espadang Bato.

A metal ladder was installed recently for those who wish to stand atop Espadang Bato. But without harness, helmet or any protection gear and equipment, climbing the top of the rock is a risky feat. As such, do it on your own risk. Do not even attempt, if you fear height!

Espadang Bato is best combined with a trek to nearby peaks, mountains and waterfalls. A usual day hike itinerary combines it with a twin hike to Mount Sipit Ulang and Payaran Falls.

KAPARKAN / MULAWIN FALLS

This waterfall is one big reason to go to Abra. Not because of its size, but its extraordinary appearance. Unlike most waterfalls in the Philippines, which are formed by roaring cascades, Kaparkan Falls is distinguished by multi-tiered spring pools/terraces that gently cascade down the forest.

Kaparkan / Kaparcan / Caparkan Falls is also known as Mulawin Falls.

How to go — Kaparkan Falls is located in Tineg, the northernmost town of Abra. Getting there is an adventure in itself as it requires a 4×4 ride along very rough roads. The ride from Bangued takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on road conditions. Tineg tourism department organizes transport on a military truck or jeepney. The trucks leave Bangued at 7-8am, while the return trip from the falls departs at 2pm. The months from August to November is the best and only time to schedule your trip since the waterfall dries up during the other half of the year.

Kaparkan Falls was once a hidden jewel in the landlocked province of Abra until it blew the internet up a few years back when pictures of a gorgeous waterfall with several tiers forming perfect terraces of curtain-like cascades surfaced. Within seconds, it got the whole online community into a seemingly untamable frenzy. It didn’t take long for people to learn its whereabouts and started planning a trip. But as charming and breathtaking as it may be, a visit to this waterfall comes with a hefty price. Others were okay with it but there are some who prefer not to spend so much and try the more conventional way of having an adventure and that is going on a hike.

Mt.Fato (est. 1438MASL)
Mt. Kupapey (est. 1647 MASL)
Location Maligcong, Bontoc, Mountain Province

Difficulty: 3/9
Trail Class: 1-2 Though Mt.Fato’s trail is not yet well established.Rock scrambling is required to get to some spots on the summit.

Far away from the chaos, noise, and bustle of the city are sanctuaries of serenity, natural beauty, and simplicity. Places like these—rural towns, highland villages, farms—may be simple and even “backward” in the eyes of city dwellers. But it is through these humble places where you learn the most important things in life such as simple joys, peace of mind, respect for Mother Nature, and appreciation of tradition. We found all these and more in Maligcong, Bontoc in Mountain Province, Philippines.

Sea of Clouds at Mt.Kupapey Summit.And if ever there is no presence of sea of clouds,
hikers will be treated to an overlooking view of the Maligcong rice terraces. So it’s a win-win situation regardless of the cloud condition.

The Maligcong Rice Terraces. One could take a detour to take the trail on the descent
to pass by the rice paddies. So if the view of the terraces from the summit is obstructed by the sea of clouds, hikers can still have an overlooking view by taking a detour from the backtrail. Just ask the guide to take you there. The terraces are also visible on the summit of Mt.Fato, though not as near if viewed from the summit of Mt.Kupapey.

Rock formations at the summit of Mt.Fato. The highest point of Mt.Fato is actually a big rock (picture below). The hiker must rock scramble to get to the top of this rock.

Guide Dogs. Dogs actually come with you during the hike. They are either dogs of the guide or dogs of the homestay. They stop during intersections or is someone is lagging, and wait for the hikers then show them the right way. Both of our hikes had a dog join us. Kunig (the most famous in Maligcong) joined us on Mt.Fato and Kangaroo joined us on Mt.Kupapey. there are two other groups aside from us on Mt.Kupapey, and they had guide dogs as well.

LLA: 14° 12.855 N; 120° 38.785 E; 664 MASL
Days required / Hours to summit: 1-2 days / 2-5 hours
Specs: Minor climb, Difficulty 3/9, Trail class 1-3
Features: Distinctive spire at the summit, forests, scenic views of Cavite

Centuries ago, the Spaniards aboard their galleons to Manila Bay noticed the form of a giant parrot, perched in the forested mountains in Cavite. They named it “Pico de Loro” – “Parrot’s Peak” Today, mountaineers who visit Pico de Loro discover that it is as enchanting as its name. High on Cavite’s highest point, they could behold the rocky tower that the Spanish sailors once saw as the parrot’s beak, and they could gaze towards South China Sea where the galleons once sailed, all the way to the historic island fort of Corregidor. Gusts of sea breeze reach the peak, refreshing hikers after a four-hour climb. The peak’s rocky outcropping is dramatic, and sharply contrasts with the plains of Cavite and the waters of South China Sea.
Such an experience is only the highlight of a trip to Pico de Loro, which is located on a DENR Protected Area. Nestled near the beaches of Cavite such as Puerto Azul and Caylabne, it is actually part of a small mountain range known as Mt. Palay-Palay. Readily accessible by bus from Manila, Pico de Loro has gained fame as a perfect weekend getaway. Even during the dry season, its forests protect hikers from the sun. Sometimes you can even chance upon exotic birds and monkeys along the trail.
The trail can be divided into two parts: the first is a gradual hike to the Basecamp 1 and beyond. The midpoint is a small rest/shaded area called Alibangbang. The second part is a steeper hike on a pleasant forest, leading all the way to the summit (there is a final, five-minute assault up). Prior to the summit, you will encounter the Summit Campsite surrounded by bamboos and some nice trees. There is also a part of the campsite that is part of a ridge that overlooks the summit.
From the summit, there is an opportunity to scale the Parrot’s Beak – more popularly known as the ‘Monolith’ which is the centerpiece of the views at the top. This is a 5-10 minute descent-then-ascent, then a brief scramble that can be quite dangerous (see ‘Practicalities’).
On rainy days, instead of the aforementioned views, you will experience a serene windscape: of clouds surging past you, and tiny rain particles brushing across your face like a massage.The option to go down via Nasugbu, Batangas, is increasingly used, and is now made easier with the Ternate-Nasugbu Highway, which cuts the trail for 30-60 minutes. From this highway, a jeepney can pick you up or you can hitch a ride to Nasugbu, where one can easily take a bus to Manila.

MT. ULAP ECO-TRAIL
Itogon, Benguet
Entry point: Brgy. Ampucao, Itogon
Exit point: Brgy. Sta. Fe, Itogon
LLA: 16.2904 N, 120.6312 E, 1846 MASL (Mt. Ulap)
Days required / Hours to summit: 1 day / 2-3 hours
Specs: Difficulty 3/9, Trail class 1-3,
Features: Grassland and pine ridges, scenic views of the Cordilleras, burial caves
Article history: Created 30-Nov-2015 by Gideon Lasco

A “mini-Mt. Ugo” which showcases the best of what the Cordilleras has to offer: Pine and grassland ridges with stunning views of the mountains, and even a glimpse of culture with villages, burial caves, and hanging bridges, the Mt. Ulap Eco-Trail in Itogon, Benguet is the perfect dayhike from Baguio City, only 40 minutes away from Burnham Park by public jeepney. Spanning around 8 kilometres through several peaks along the Ampucao-Sta. Fe Ridge (not to be confused with the Philex Ridge), it is easy enough to be completed from 4-6 hours, making it feasible as a dayhike or even a half-dayhike for hikers of all levels.

The trailhead starts along from the road to Philex in Brgy. Ampucao, but as of December 2015, hikers have to make a 10-minute detour to the barangay hall to register and secure guides (required). The trail goes up a ridgeline that is immediately surrounded by pines, and soon becomes scenic with views of Mt. Sto. Tomas and Baguio City; the perennially mist-covered Central Cordilleras from Ugo to Pulag; and to the south, even Mt. Arayat.

A number of peaks and points of attraction are traversed via this relaxing trail: from the grassland slopes of Ambunao Paoay to Gungal Rock, and then to the highest point, Mt. Ulap (officially 1846m but 1856m according to our measurements). The descent from Mt. Ulap to Pong-ol Burial Caves is akin to the descent from Mt. Ugo summit to Tinongdan, with its steep, pine-forested terrain. The Burial Caves themselves are a nice attraction, and at Sta. Fe there are hanging bridge and cemented footpath that complete the experience.

Once the province of trail runners, the opening up of Mt. Ulap as a hiking destination augurs well for opening up more mountains in the Cordilleras and hopefully people realise that there is much more to the region than Mt. Pulag. Pinoy Mountaineer recommends Mt. Ulap as a dayhike from Baguio and as a sidetrip or warm-up hike to bigger hikes in the region. The only caveat is that because of its popularity it’s becoming inconvenient to hike on weekends – so we are recommending it as a weekday hike – unless you don’t mind enduring the crowds and lengthy queues at Gungol Rock.

MT. MACULOT

Mt. Maculot has three destinations: (1) Rockies, (2) Summit, and (3) Grotto. The most well known peak is the Rockies where most of the climbers head to. Only few of the registered hiking population opt to traverse the mountain – reaching all three destinations.

ROCKIES (706 MASL)
For the usual route of traverse, the famous Rockies (difficulty 3/9) is the first destination. The trail going up this peak is actually steep. What’s more challenging is that the trail is dusty which makes it so slippery. But no need to worry, there are rope assists that are strategically located along the trail. During ascent, there are numerous stop overs where you can sit and catch your breath. There are locals selling snacks and drinks in those stop overs but only during the weekends. So, if you are planning to climb Mt. Maculot on a weekday, better pack your own refreshments. The last stop over is the campsite where hikers can pitch their tents. This site is five to ten minutes away from the Rockies.

From the campsite, you will take a rope-assisted trail. It is a dusty steep descent to the base of Rockies. If you are not careful enough, you might slide down until the base. After that descent, you will be challenged by a short rock climbing course. Local guides will assist you on your way up and instruct you where to put your hands and feet next. Then, the majestic view of the Taal Lake will greet you a warm welcome!

The picturesque view of Taal Lake and the rest of Batangas will ease all your short breaths and recharge your energy. No doubt why Rockies draws the most climbers among all Mt. Maculot’s destinations. It usually takes two hours to get to the Rockies from the jump off point. But, of course, time varies per hiker.

MT. MACULOT SUMMIT (930 MASL)
After taking awesome photos on the Rockies, next stop is the Summit. From the Rockies’ vantage point, the Summit looks close. But, it is actually another one-hour-hike away from it. Might actually take you more depending on your pace. On the way to the Summit, you will pass by the store dubbed as ‘7-eleven’ of Mt. Maculot. I suggest that you grab the snacks and refreshments you need here before you go because there are no more stores along the way. The ascent to the Summit is actually more challenging than the Rockies. The trail is steeper and there are no more rest stations along the way. The assault going up is no joke.

GROTTO (510 MASL)
The last destination for the traverse is the Grotto. From the Summit, you will descend Mt. Maculot for another hour to get here. In my experience, descending is more challenging than ascending. Or maybe, am I just too exhausted at this point? The trail is not as dusty as the other trails. However, there are more assaults along the way. There are more rope assists and rappelling, but nevertheless enjoyable. The trek was much more fun because of this new experience! There are wild monkeys living at this side of the mountain. If you happen to see some, I suggest you just let them be. Do not provoke the monkeys nor offer them food.

As we reach the end of the descending trail to the Grotto, we took a stop over. When we went there, there are stores near the Grotto. Our guide told us that those stores are not usually there but were just recently set up in time for the Holy Week.

After a three-minute ascent from the stopover, we were greeted by the shrine of our Lady of Lourdes. This destination is a popular go-to place during Holy Week for devoters and believers. From the Grotto, our descent was a breeze. The way down is through paved stairs. Yes, no more ropes, no more assaults! You will pass by the Stations of The Cross along this trail. From here, it will take you 30 minutes to conclude the Mt. Maculot traverse.

Mt.Kulis

Mt. Kulis and Fresno Agro Forestry and Eco Tourist Campsite also known as “Bahay ni Kardo” in ABS-CBN’s action drama TV series “Ang Probinsyano” are the newest hiking destinations in Tanay, Rizal. This area is developed for outdoor and recreational activities.

This is one of the most accessible locations next to Treasure Mountain to watch the sea of clouds and experience camping. It is advisable for all ages looking for weekend retreat.

The most awaited time of the day, the sunrise and the forming of sea of clouds over the mountain stretch. As early as 4am, clouds are starting to form and extend over the mountain ranges. Make sure to wake up early to witness this superb sight. If you’ve visited Treasure Mountain, the viewing in Mt. Kulis will certainly surprise you. The displays of sea of clouds are more dense and up close giving you an amazing experience. Mt. Kulis and Treasure Mountain shares the same view, but sea of clouds emerge first in Kulis before extending to Treasure Mountain.

To complete your thrilling adventure, enjoy the picturesque view on top of Noah’s Ark, a boat anchored on top of the mountain and over the sea of clouds. It requires 30-45-minute trek with some downhill and uphill. Going to this spot requires you to avail a local tour guide worth Php500. The fee includes going to Lion House Falls.

If you want to see the sea of clouds and experience it while on top of Noah’s Ark, you need to start your trek as early as 4am. Other tourists will start flocking the area normally by 6am. Expect forming a queue to get everyone’s chances riding and taking their pictures on this unique vantage point.

Mt. Maynuba

The province of Rizal has now become a playground for hikers and outdoor enthusiast alike. With the continuous explorations and the opening of new mountains, it has become a popular weekend escape for outdoor enthusiasts and thrill seekers. One of the newly opened destinations is Mt. Maynoba and Mt. Cayabu in Tanay, Rizal.

Mt. Maynoba and Mt. Cayabu is a fairly easy trek that passes through vegetable gardens, woodlands, and an exposed grass land ton your way to the summit. From the summit area, one is greeted by a stunning view of the Sierra Madre mountain range and its multiple peaks. Your descent from the summit offers even more adventure as you will pass by numerous cascades of a waterfall which will be perfect to dip in and cool down amidst the heat and a tiring day of walking.
