‼️BE AWARE OF THEM!‼️
This 3 persons in the image and the other 2 persons (not captured by my phone camera)
This image was taken at 5:16 AM May 30, 2026 in Mt. Pulag, Kabayan Benguet.
I reached the summit of Mt. Pulag at 4:20 AM May 30, 2026 with a shirt and not so thick jacket so the morning mist and wind was mercilessly cold.
With the dwarf bamboos I tried to cover myself against the biting cold wind and patiently waited for the sunrise that came at 5:20 AM.
Actually my 5 companions reached the summit at 4 AM while I as the oldest ( almost 2 decades older than the youngest of the group🤣🤣 for they are at thier early and middle 20's ) reached the summit at 4:25 AM . Not bad! 😅😅 💪
We took the Ambangeg trail which is maybe the easiest trail since according to our guide on thier daily record more than a hundred trekkers takes this trail. According also to our guide Ambangeg trail is an 8 kilometers hike from our homestay to the summit.
The image below shows the 3 among of our 6 persons group who started the trail from our homestay at 1:30 AM and reached the summit at 4 AM passing many hikers along the way. 🤭🤭😁😁💪💪💪🤣🤣🤣
They are my companions from the homestay all the way to the summit. Our trail guide named our 6 persons group as the TRAIL RUNNERS group but only 3 persons ( I am not 1 of them) are joining trail runs. 😁😁😁
I appreciate much of my 5 young companions for being responsible on our trash during and after the trail. They even want the trash to take home here in La Trinidad but the owner of the homestay said it is okay to leave it to them.
TO ALL MOUNTAIN TREKKERS be like my 5 companions who leave only footprints, take pictures and make memories on the mountains. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TRASH in the mountains.
Anyways, our apologies for picking some wild berries which we call in our place "alumani" since we can't resist to pick some of its ripe fruit. 🤭🤭🤭✌️ DELISYOSO😋😋😋
