Popular Mountain for Hiking

Mount Pinatubo, Zambales

 

In June 1991, The second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century obliterated the summit of Mount Pinatubo. From 1745 meters tall, it now stands at 1486 meters. Located at the intersection of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga, the 1991 eruption was the first murmur after a 500 year silence. Billions of tons of volcanic matter spewed from its mouth, creating killer lahar flows in the plains, raining down the thick ash as far as Manila and decreasing the earth’s temperature by 0.5 degrees Celsius. If not for successful predictions and disaster management, thousands of people might have perished. It is now a biking and mountaineering destination. The eruption formed astonishing valleys of ash and a large caldera with a lake covering the terror within.

 

How to get there: Fly to Manila then take a bus to Capas, Tarlac. From there, hire a ride and make your way through the towns of Santa Juliana and Sitio Dapili.

 


Travel Quotes:

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. Mary Ritter Beard

Fiesta Foods Philippines Cuisine

For festive occasions, people band together and prepare more sophisticated dishes. Tables are often laden with expensive and labor-intensive treats requiring hours of preparation. In Filipino celebrations, lechón (also spelled litson) serves as the centerpiece of the dinner table. It is usually a whole roasted pig, but suckling pigs (lechonillo, or lechon de leche) or cattle calves (lechong baka) can also be prepared in place of the popular adult pig.
