Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Cabusilan Mountains on the island of Luzon, near the tri-point of the Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. Before the volcanic activities of 1991, its eruptive history was unknown to most people. It was heavily eroded, inconspicuous and obscured from view. It was covered with dense forest which supported a population of several thousand indigenous people, the Aetas, who fled to the mountains during the Spanish conquest of the Philippines.

Hiking Mt Pinatubo was long ago on my bucket list - so glad it finally happened. After a thrilling Jeep ride to the starting point of the trail, a guide led us on our 1.5-2 hrs each way. The trail wasn't difficult nor ardous to hike. The views on top and lakeside of the crater, as well as the hike itself, are more than rewarding for everything. Not-so-fun fact the other morning: Our friendly host and owner of Casa Hermogina informed us, that last night the Taal Volcano erupted - the very day 1 year after we hiked there.

This place is superb! Was lucky to visit this place before in the ECQ. We came here January, good thing because we enjoyed the site alone. We are the first to come during that day. Entrance is Php 300 per head and Php 100 for the car 'cuz we actually brought our own service. The road is tight and only one car (sedan) can pass at a time. No worries, there will be a guide at the entrance to control traffic. There's a pub where we enjoy our lunch and got a taste of Baler authentic cuisine.

Dinadiawan has a nice long shore that is perfect for activities such as jogging or athletic trainings. The beach is clean, no sea weeds or trash just pure beauty of nature.

I went there yesterday, July 15, 2018. As a family, we wanted to relax so we took a quick overnight trip to Baler. We were not supposed to visit Ditumabo Mother Falls because of the hike but we were curious because of the reviews. Initially, we felt hesitant to try it but when our guide Michael, who was caring and patient, told us that we can do it and we need not rush, then, we decided to give it a try. Along the way, you will be amazed at the lush green surroundings; the rushing cool water is very relaxing. Though it was a tiring walk, when you get to see Mother Falls, then, you will say, it was all worth it. My daughter and I are on the heavy side and my husband does not like walking but this is a trip worth the effort. It was nothing for my son who was physically fit. The suspense before you see Mother falls even made the journey exciting. Going back was just half or 1/3 of going there. The trek is not too high but get ready to get wet along the way. Wear comfortable footwear - flip-flops, slippers or slip ons that can get wet. Wear something that can get wet also so that you won't have to change when you get there. There are no dressing areas when you get to the falls. There is a dressing area though when you get back. There is ample parking space so just leave your things inside the car and change after the trek. Their bathrooms/comfort rooms are well maintained since water is not a problem in Aurora. Bring water and food with you because there are no stores in the falls but there are stores before the start of the trek. Take a dip in the very cold water of the falls and try to get as close to the falls as you can because the water is not deep. It is very refreshing. The trip is not complete without a swim in the VERY clean water of the falls. There is also a crevice between the rocks where we were able to get real mineral water. Truly, you will appreciate God because of the beauty of Ditumabo Falls and the kindness of the locals in this part of Aurora.

I wanted to do a jungle training and saw there were 2 possibilities in Subic: JEST or Pamulaklakin. The first one sounded more commercial so I decided to go for the latter and what a incredible time I had. The Pamulaklakin trail is on Aeta land, an indigenous tribe that lives in the hills. I was by myself and decided to book an overnight stay as well. They provided the tent. My guide, MinMin, picked me up at the trailhead and we started hiking up. He is small (like most of the tribe, but incredibly fast and very knowledgeable. He is proficient in English and knows all the plants and animals. The Aeta are a tribe of @ 500 families. Their village has a school and MinMin works on the family farm. He taught me how to make fire, use a machete, make a trap etc. He also cooked me a meal and set up my tent Then ... we went to visit some of his family. Marilyn, who is the person I had phone contact with and with whom I confirmed my arrival, is incredible! Smart as a whip and very hospitable. Let's just say we ended up singing karaoke at her place later that evening. Incredibly warm people and I truly recommend this experience
