We would like to acknowledge Johzen Barleta for providing us with this Feature Blog of Mt.Pulag. All photos and the article were provided by her.
The shifting veil of mist allows only glimpses of what lays ahead – a steadily inclining course lined with green grass and thriving vegetation; vague forms of companions fading in and out of sight; and silhouettes of distant pine trees pretending to be monks robed in black, joining us in our slow march. I rub my gloved hands and exhale puffs into the cold air as my mental timepiece unwinds to about twenty hours ago, when we were rushing through paved streets on our way to Park Square to purchase a pair of thermal gloves from an outdoor shop and raincoats from a Japanese store. At that time, I didn’t really grasp what those frantic preparations meant. Now I do, we are climbing the highest peak in Luzon on the cold, wet month of July.
