RECEIVE BIGGER, SING LOUDER
After the flag ceremony, the officer berated the staff because they were not singing the national anthem as well as the regional and provincial hymn. The officer stressed that “since you are being fed by the government, you should be singing it loud and clear.” One of the staff commented, “Those who are receiving big bonuses should be singing a little bit louder.”
Tourists who are looking to explore and conquer the most challenging peaks in the Philippines should consider a trip to the Cordillera mountain range in Ifugao Province. This area is home to the majestic Mount Napulawan or Napulauan, which is a frequent destination for mountaineers and outdoor adventure enthusiasts.
This challenging mountain is located in Hungduan, Ifugao and has an
elevation of 2,642 meters above sea level. The trek to the peak of this
mountain has been rated as a “major climb” and has a reputation of being
one of the most challenging climbs in the country. Let me tell you more
reasons why one should take on the challenge of conquering the towering
peak of Mount Napulawan in Hungduan, Ifugao
Historic Significance:
The impressive Mount Napulawan is not only known for being a challenging goal for mountaineers and outdoor adventure enthusiasts because it is also rich in history. This peak has served as refuge for both defenders of Philippine soil and invaders from the imperial Japanese army. General Emilio Aguinaldo, who fought to free the Philippines from Spanish and American colonizers, sheltered his troops in the mountain's mossy forest. The hidden valleys of this majestic mountain was also used by General Tomoyuki Yamashita, a Japanese General who was infamous as the "Tiger of Malaya." General Yamashita used the region for the last stand against the Filipino and American forces. Rumors also suggest that the Japanese general buried vast amounts of plundered treasure in the surrounding area.
Mystical and Enchanting Aura:
This well known mountain in Hungduan, Ifugao is also shrouded in a mystique that makes it more enticing for adventurous tourists. The locals believe that the summit of the mountain is enchanted and protected by fairies. These rumors are reinforced by some strange phenomenon experienced by climbers including a disappearing lake near the peak and an optical illusion at a certain viewpoint, which makes trees and other objects appear much larger than their actual size.
The Challenging Hungduan Trail:
This trail is the main path to reach the summit of Mount Napulawan. The journey starts with a 3 hour trek through steep paths and the intense heat of the sun to reach the Ny-o campsite. Then the climb proceeds through the mossy forest with its exotic flora and fauna which includes mosses, ferns, orchids, deer, and wild boars. Climbers should be aware that leeches are abundant in this forest. Adventurous trekkers will eventually reach the garden-like summit with bonsai-like trees and dwarf bamboo.
Awesome View at the Top:
Reaching the summit of this mountain is the highlight of this trip. Tourists who brave the challenges of this mountain and endured the hardships of the trek will be richly rewarded when they reach the peak. Those who conquer the mountain will be able to observe the breathtaking peaks of the other membres of the Cordillera mountain range including Pulog, Sto. Tomas, Amuyao, Ugu and Tabayoc. The mountaintop also offers a unique view of the surrounding terrain including the region's verdant mossy forests, and rice terraces.
Descent via Hapao Trail:
Descending from the towering summit of Mount Napulawan is also an exciting adventure. Visitors will once again pass through the mossy forest with its pristine beauty. Trekkers will also observe scenic views such as the Hungduan Rice Terraces and the Bokiawan river.
How to Get There:
To get a chance to assail the peak of this impressive mountain,
tourists must first travel to Banaue. There are several Manila bus lines
that provide trips to Banaue including the Florida Bus Lines, Victory
Liner, Autobus, Cable Bus Tours and *Ohayami Bus. After arriving by bus, tourist can
then arrange jeepney transportation to Hungduan. Folks who wish to climb
the mountain are required to register at the municipal hall of
Hungduan. Then visitors should hire experience guides for the
challenging trek to the summit. *Contact Nelson @09183050394 or 09152231153 for more details
