Hiking & Camping
Part of the group' regular activities are hiking & camping. The Philippines
is a natural hiking destination with so many places to go and camp. Among
the popular destinations being frequented by the group are those not far
from the Metropolis. These include Majayjay Waterfalls in Laguna, Quezon
National Park, Pico De Loro in Cavite, Gulugod Baboy in Batangas and Biak
na Bato National Park in Bulacan. Hiking and camping are mostly done during
weekends and holidays and usually last no more than two days.
Mountain Climbing
The group holds mountain climbs at least twice a year -- a minor
and a major one. The country has many good mountains that are accesible
and their numbers are still growing with newly discovered peaks. Among
those in the group's desitnation list are Mt. Makiling (Laguna), Mt Banahaw
(Quezon), Mt. Cristobal (Quezon), Mt. Arayat (Pampanga), Mt Tapulao (Bataan),
Mt. Mariveles-Tarak Ridge (Battan),Mt. Halcon (Mindoro), Mt. Pulag (Benguet),
Mt. Ugu (NV), Mt. Isarog (Albay), Mt. Napulauan (Benguet), Mt. Guiting-guiting
(Romblon) and Mt. Apo (Davao).
Due to the ardous physical nature of this activity, a month-long planning
& preparations are done to ensure its success. Climbs are usually
held during the December-May period.
Spelunking
Exploring cave systems is another activity the group does. The Philippine
has many natural caves that are accessible and usually are being promoted
by local governments for tourism. These include the caves in Bulacan,
Rizal, Nueva Viscaya, Sagada, Palawan and dozen others located all over
the archipelago. The group conducts spelunking at least
once a year.
Snorkling & Diving
The Philippine, being an island country, is gifted with beautiful beaches,
coral reefs, and bountiful marine life. Although a bit expensive undertaking,
the group encourages its members to experience the beauty of the undersea
world.
