Back to Where It All Began

Mt. Romelo

Siniloan, Laguna Philippines


This mountain is one of the most memorable and unforgetable place ive been into, this is my first climb, 4 years ago. Its their (Grace and John) first time here, been here a couple of times.

Its a bit depressing to see how the condition of this place got degraded through the years. The last time ive been in here was on 2006. The rocks was not yet arranged but. there is also a strong presence of commercialism. Stores everywhere. And you can even see a group of campers who do the bathing in the river just like how they do it in their home, soap and shampoo. Maybe a few years from now, this will be like Hinulugang Taktak in Antipolo.

Falls to be visited, Buruwisan, Old Buruwisan, Sampaloc, Batya batya and Lanzones (the most pristine).

All of the images here are taken by John Bong So for i accidentally saved my shots on my sisters external hard drive that is now in Riyadh.
