The Udalo Beach Experience

Sitio Udalo is situated northeast portion of the Municipality of Malita, Davao del Sur. Because my group is tired of all the beach views in Mindanao, I decided to take a breather of the week-long office jungle in the place. Alas, I never thought Udalo had become an instant destination. With me was Mics who took a day tour on Saturday, May 16 along with the Tribal Filipino Apostolate. It was a good trip, indeed, as we were welcomed by the smiling rays of sunlight, white sands, incredible islands, exciting boat trips, cool wind and other amazing ranges of vision.

Side trips: Island hopping, tour around fish cages.....eating.

LOGSAC leads Duaw kay Apo Expedition

In comforming one of its objectives, the Local Government of Sta. Cruz Adventure Club (LOGSAC) led the expedition team to Mount Apo last April 27-30, 2009 via Sibulan Trail, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. LOGSAC already signified its desire to assist the municipality of Sta. Cruz in eco-tourism activities such as Mount Apo climbs, among others.

There were 70 expedition team members composed of mountaineers from Mindanao such as Tupi South Cotabato, Davao City, Digos City, Marbel, Toril and Tiboli. The climb is an advocacy climb to save and protect Mount Apo through clean up drive.

Faridah, Bryan, Papong and Jonas took head of the delegation which according to them was an overwhelming success.
