Moal Boal Mountaineering Adventures
It was a great sunny day that my mountaineering friends are bored and have no idea how to spend the day so exciting, we just talk for a while then we plan to go to moal boal.
Moal boal it famous with is beaches and one of the greatest diving spot here in the Philippines. But we are not planning to go diving, but rather we want to climb mountains their in Moal Boal. So we pack our gears and then we go. They say that there are a lot of mountains in moalboal that is not yet discovered, so what we have plan in our mountaineering adventure is to discover one mountain.
The good thing about our trail is that there is a river, so is not hard to trek, we spent hours in our trekking until we reach the top. It’s relaxing and beautiful to see the landscape of the city. We have fun in our mountaineering adventure. We rest for the day and ready for another mountaineering adventure tomorrow.
We are tried in our journey that morning so we decide to go to the beaches on moalboal. Our Mountaineering adventure is over but the adventure isn’t, we go to the beach and I said before that moalboal is famous diving spot in philppines because of the fishes and corals you found. So we decide to go snorkeling and we enjoyed it..

Month Of The Mountain The Hills Are Alive Mt. Canlaon
In a celebrated Broadway play turned movie, Julie Andrew sings one of the most familiar songs in Hollywood; “The hills are alive to the sound of music.” Now, unless you consider all sound to be music, like minimalist composer, John Cage, music is not exactly what our hills are alive to.
Here, it is the sound of slash and burn agriculture, it is the sound of uncontrolled up-migration and consequently the noise of the motor-cycles, the most available mode of transport there, it is the sound of the construction of expensive neighborhoods and the sound pf everything else but, hardly, music.
But, in 2007 with the celebration of the International year of the Mountain, IYM and the designation of June as the month of the mountain, the international community said that music should, again, belong to the mountains; of watershed protection, of making the mountains contribute more than simple extractive minerals and goods.
Local mountaineering groups are gearing up for appropriate celebrations. Habagat for one has scheduled a Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) for beginner mountaineers or those who just want to update their mountaineering skills.
My mountaineering club tests the wrath of Mt. Canloan. We as a mountaineer help each other for us to be able to reach the summit, and see the beauty that Mt. Canlaon can offer and we had fun and satisfaction for what we have experience. Mountaineering Adventure my never ending journey.
