It has been my 3rd time climbing Mount Naupa in the city of Naga Cebu. My first time was a night trek with two of my good friends Analyn and Eddu. The second time was with the club where I am the President. It was my first month of my leadership bringing around 40 trekkers with me last January this year. This time, we planned to just have a camp out in Mount Naupa as our year-end climb for the club. That is because the month of December would be an outreach program and the club might just choose a venue that doesn’t involve trekking at all.

Mount Labalasan (Osmeña Peak): Cebu’s Highest Point
After our Mount Takliad trek and camping, we continued our jaunt for another fun-filled camp to Cebu’s highest mountain - the Mount Labalasan or commonly known as Osmeña Peak. It was my nth time visit to Osmeña Peak. Despite of the fact that I visited Osmeña Peak multiple times already, I would never grow tired or lost my interest to go back in this wonderful place. Because in trekking, I really do believe that no matter how many times you have been into the same mountain, you will never get to have the same experience and will never trek the same trail twice.

Mount Takliad: The Unseen Grandiose Mountain in Argao
Argao as considered one of the best places in the Southeastern part of Cebu has a lot to offer aside from its rich heritage and culture. From the wide array of tourism offerings like caves, beaches, springs, waterfalls and the infamous Argao’s Torta and Bahalina, it has a lot more to offer to adrenaline junkies too. For many, Argao has been underrated in terms of Tourist Attractions. But considering all the beauties of nature that Argao can offer is just mind blowing. It is in Argao that you can find a lot of interesting places like “mini rice terraces’ in Butong, Argao, and the Coal Mountain Resort which offers an all-in-one adventure place.

Osmeña Peak: The highest peak in Cebu South
(06/20/2014) - Photo of Osmena Peak before sunrise It's been a long time that I had been into mountain trekking. The last time I found myself camping in the mountains was during my 5th year in college , that was 2006. After being away from everyone and being alone for about 3 months for business trip in Japan, I realized a lot of things and top 4 on my list were: Life is too short to waste on something that doesn't really matter and doesn't make you happy. All I needed was to be placed in another country to be more expressive and less reserved. I'll do what needs to be done for a purpose, what others think of me
