I Was There
I was actually with a Marine unit stationed at Subic when Pinatubo blew its top. I remember the earthquakes and all the craziness. The OV-10 unit VMO-2 was my unit and we assisted the volcanologist who were studying the volcano. I did notice how the people of Olongapo pulled together and did not let the ash and debris get them down, they were actually using it by adding water sand and making cement porches and roads etc. I miss being there and I loved your pictures.

DURING OUR TRIP GOING TO BONTOC ALONG THE ROAD YOU'LL SEA A VERY BREATHTAKING SIGHT OF ITS SOURROUNDING ESPECIALLY THE ALMOST SKY HIGH CLIFT THAT YOU CAN NOT RECOGNIZE THE HEIGHT OF THE TREES DOWN THERE. YOU'LL FEEL THAT YOU'RE FLYING WHEN YOU SEE BELOW THE CLIFT. ARRIVED BONTOC 1330H PROCEEDED TO BONTOC MUSEUM TAKE SOME MINUTES READING THE BONTOCS HISTORY.

CEBU, OH CEBU
I was born in Malapascua because my father, who is now a retired public school teacher, was first assigned to the island after passing the civil service exam. When I was in grade four under him, he taught us a song which runs like these: Ang yutang natawhan Cebu sa gugma natingban Dili ko isalikway, higala ug mga kaaway. Kami manalipod sa imong mga katungod. Pagkatam-is ay!! Pagkanindot ay!! Sa Cebu nga among pinuy-anan. Cebu, Oh Cebu!! Katam-is nga litokon Cebu, Oh Cebu!! Duyan ka sa buhilaman Imong kaayuhan, gidamgo sa tanan. Pagkanindot ay!! Pagkanindot ay!! Sa Cebu nga among pinuy-anan. I really appreciate the feelings that you have for the province.

What a Place
Whew! what a very wonderful place. It's really amazing how this catastrophic place turned into a nature's haven. I should add this to my travel wishlist. :)

Mesmerizing? More than that!!!!!
These 75 year old legs went from Santa Julianna up the river in jeeps for 90 minutes then hiked 12 kilometers to the crater rim in about 3 hours. Then down into the lake. Mesmerizing does not sufficiently describe the beauty revealed. This took place on 9/24/06. I'm back in Alturas, CA now and my knees still remember the 40 degree average incline from the jeeps to the rim. Do it again? You bet.
