As Filipinos, a big part of experiencing local tourism is climbing mountains and beholding our country’s unique landscapes and awe-inspiring sunrise to sunset sceneries. Thankfully, in the past couple of years, more and more Filipinos have become interested in mountain climbing if they weren’t already into it. But the view isn’t the only thing we remember and take back with us after the excursion. It’s the whole climbing experience. The excitement, the heat, the sweat, the sense of fulfilment, all of these are part of the climb. And we often go through all of it in stages. Diba?
