One of the many reasons why Sibulan trail to Mt. Apo was the trail opted by extreme mountaineers was its almost one hour river trekking via the Sibulan River. From its main source Tudaya Falls, this river has been considered one of the cleanest in Mindanao. It also provides social value to the communities as several local inhabitants depend largely to the river for food, laundry and even potable

Like any usual mountain climbing, our climb to Mt. Dulang-Dulang last January 28-29, 2011 has offered a quite satisfactory experience. Our first major climb of the year was relished with excitement amidst fun and hardship. There were 3 of us from LOGSAC (Papong and Irvhin were my companion, as usual). Gabo of TEAK also joined the climb along with the MOTHER THERESA OF MOUNTAINEERING. At 2,938

Last week’s flash flood at Barangay Darong, Sta. Cruz had beckoned our group to work in unison to provide whatever helps to all the victims. As a common maxim to quote, “because we care, we share” is indeed heartening as our members afforded hands as a manifestation of unconditional service and sympathy. For the record, the January 17 tragedy tolled 3 dead and several others homeless. In the

As usual, death and mayhem did not visit the well-off executives and politicians in the recent flash floods and landslide incidents that wrecked havoc all over the Philippines. It visited the poor and innocent rural dwellers who tried to eke out a living to subsist in their respective battles of life. It visited the blameless and deprived civilians who were unmindful of the real end of the

Year 2010 is almost over. Another challenging year is going to take over which is believed to be giving more challenges ahead. While our Mother earth is presently battling for survival in the midst of the climate change issue, our local setting is also facing with so much hardships.Same with what happened to our young group called Local Government of Sta.

On December 22, 2010 we had our LOGSAC Christmas bash celebrated in a very humble and simple way. We were supposed to conduct a mangrove replanting and clean up at Tajos Beach (a perennial venue of every club gathering) but because we fell short of the time considering the members’ respective yuletide commitments, we just ended up having a short club meeting and an all-night party afterwards.

A refreshing day hike on October 6, 2010 was done by 4 LOGSACs at Udalo Range, Malita, Davao del Sur. It was a sort of unwinding after a very busy 5-day Araw ng Sta. Cruz celebration.

Instead of insisting myself for a usual traffic quandary in cemeteries during Halloween, I joined a huge group composed of mountaineers from Manila to celebrate All Saints Day and All Souls Day at Mount Apo. The Halloween Spree was part of LOGSAC’s calendar to conduct monitoring an October Season Climb, especially since Mt. Apo nowadays has been visited by illegal climbers (those who climb

Talicud island is a fraction of the Island Garden City of Samal noted for its fine white sand, crystal clear water and sumptuous sea foods.

Just in time, members of LOGSAC have expressed sympathies to our brothers and sisters in Luzon by giving out relief goods for the victims of tropical storm “Ondoy” and typhoon “Pepeng”.

Our trip to Bislig Surigao del Sur last August 21-22 was delighted with a community immersion, giving little gifts to the inhabitants there, but generating huge smiles from their faces. We had our first stop at sitio Sote, a small village inhabited by the Kamayo tribe. It is also said to be the breeding ground of the extinct Philippine Eagle. They had worst experience during their struggle

Hopefully it will still be visible in the future so that more Jugapong
