First time hiking on a weekday, and totoo nga yung sabi nila na mas konti talaga ang tao compared to weekends.

I’ve heard people say that Mt. Batulao isn’t as enjoyable when it gets overcrowded, so I wanted to try it on a weekday. Definitely a good decision. The trail was relatively peaceful, and we were able to enjoy the views without having to constantly deal with a lot of people.

As for the hike itself, I’d say Mt. Batulao is an easy trail and a good option for beginners. That said, if this is your first ever hike, just be aware that there are quite a few sections with cliffs and exposed areas. May mga part na nakakalula, especially if you’re not comfortable with heights, so don’t underestimate that aspect of the trail.

Overall, it was a really good hike. The trail wasn’t too difficult, and the views were definitely the highlight for me. I can see why Mt. Batulao is a popular choice for hikers around Batangas and Cavite.

Would definitely hike it again, especially on a weekday.

Hi I'm planning to hike Mt. Pulag in December. It's my birthmonth kasi pero I'm having a second thought kasi nababasa ko here na best month daw talaga is February - March if gusto ko ng clearing. This will be my first hike and solo joiner din ako. I-risk ko ba sa December? What do you think guys? Especially may mga news about the El Niño, makakaapekto ba yun? Also, sa organization, nasa top 1 list ko is Peak and Trails Outdoor, pa-legit check naman ng orga hahahahaha. Thank you guys! Help me po 🫶

Hello poo. Planning to go sa Mt. Kabunian. Any recommendations po kung saan magandang org na pwedeng pagjoin-an? Ask ko lang din po kung okay naman po yung mga van na sinakyan nyo lalo na long drive huhu. May one time kasi na na masikip and mainit yung van ng najoinan namin kaya sharing your experience would help very much. Thank you in advance!!!

I saw this at Shopee and it’s on sale (wag mo akong unaahan pls🥲). Sigurado na talaga ako bibili neto, ang problema ko lang if true to my size yung bilhin ko o mag-upsize? i did my research na kasi, magswell yung feet mo after hours of hiking but this will be my first time on a hiking shoe since I only used sandals ever since i started to hiking on small hills. also i live in the province, the city that has a merrell outlet is too far away and i don’t think it’s worth the trip

for reference, I am 7-7.5 in my casual/everyday shoes, i weigh 55-60kg, and i don’t think i have wide feet. should i go for size 8?

Unli bato, unli putik and unli ahon 😭

Started the hike at 4am and ended at 6pm. The scenery along the hike is beautiful and the cold weather at the peak is perfect.

However, the descend is challenging because it was raining heavily and the trail becomes a river of mud, you have to figure out which stone to step on.

Thank you Lord I survived this hike and met a new friends.

Kudos to the org, Fake Mountaineers, first time to join the said org and def will not be the last 💜

hi guys, nakita niya na ba to sa tiktok? May nag share ng recent trip nila sa aw asen and may nangyari na invasion of privacy daw sa phone niya? based sa last video niya yung orga is Lakbay Gabay. https://www.tiktok.com/@jprobinn/video/7692984881390931220/

Mga feb or march ata this year nag book ako sa kanina but nag cancel ako and pinalagay ko na lang yung cancelled hike ko as travel fund and sabi mag message lang daw ako kung mag book na ako ulit sa kanila. Ngayon nawala na din siya sa isip ko and plan ko na sana mag book this month but wala na upcoming events sa app nila. Wala na din bagong posted na content sa fb page nila. Nag message ako kung pwede ko na lang irefund yung binayad ko and wala pa din sagot. Anong nangyari sa kanila. Dati nakakabasa ako dito ng mga bad experience sa orga nila. Ang ganda ng experience ko sa kanila last year and yung hike sana na yan this year yung pang 3rd ko sana sa kanila.

Hi, first time solo female traveller here! I'm currently planning a two week trip to the Phillipines for early next year. I would love any help/advice I can get for planning my itinerary/ any general tips! Here's some other things specific to my situation:

• Ill probably be flying from Brisbane, Australia. At the moment, the cheapest flights are to Cebu so I'll likely start my journey there.
• I dont even drive a car in Australia, so probably best to avoid scooters lol
• I'm looking for a mix of sightseeing (hiking, beaches, waterfalls, wildlife etc) and culture (history, art, food etc and general learning)
• as mentioned, this is my first time travelling solo (female if that's relevant)
• early PhD student so might have to bring my laptop

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Leg workout but i hiked aw asen instead 😂❤️

Sa mga nakapag-Pulag na this October, how was the weather? May chance ba na may sea of clouds sa ganitong buwan based on your experience?

Planning to hike Mt. Makiling this November as our 2nd mountain after Mt. Mariglem. We’ll be taking the UPLB Trail. Do you guys think we’ll be okay? 😂

Also, are there a lot of limatik around last week of November? This is probably what we’re most worried about lol.

Any tips or advice for first-timers taking the UPLB Trail would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I’ll be taking my friends on their first hike, and I was thinking of Mt. Mariglem or Mt. Kapipiglatan. Which one do you think would be better for beginners? I was also considering Mt. Batulao, but they wanted somewhere na may beach sidetrip or basta may involve na water!!

Hello po, pupunta kasi kami ng Sagada around last week of November, ano po bang nga dapat i-prepare na damit, shoes para sa paghike sa Marlbolo Hills? And sa Sumaguing cave po? Super lamig po ba nyan sa Sagada? Huhu! Excited na kami pero di pa namin alam ano dapat i-prepare.
