yes, even I cannot believed that I availed a package tour for this chilling trek in northern luzon. this is due to the epidemic vouchers that offers online at a very huge discount. imagine i consider my mt. pulag fun-hike last august 28-29, 2010 as one of the major trip i organized then all of a sudden after 9 months of surviving the rainest and coldest trekked i ever had not to mention combining people i dont even know, i went back here on a package tour basis. since one of my friend availed best discounted deals online and cannot pursue anymore due to health problems, he transferred the tour in my behalf to assist also our other friend in his quest to feel the mt. pulag journey. so there i am, another spontaneous trip and 6th consecutive weekend get-away since my nature-waving aurora province last may 7.

I named the group as PEx Fun Climbers Club (PFCC) due it is a requirement in DENR station. Of course, it was called like that in lieu where it was all been discussed, planned and finalized.

anyways, here was the itinerary designed:

after 42 days of planning... 28 joiners confirmed... only 17 stand-out...
here it was .......

it begun after we trekked and achieved the success of mt. pinatubo fun-climbing, which incidentally i was a co-planner too. i saw my travel comrades how they conquer the trail on a happy-go-lucky basis, means we went there despite of the bad weather, no pre-climb orientation and push-the-limit spirit. i asked them if they wanna advance for the next level, they said undoubtedly 'yes', and so the drive has started.

our joyride to mt. pulag
