The world (We) are now losing real mineral water even from the even the highest mountain of luzon.
This is where hikers used to fetch water from, drink like one haven't drunk water for many years. However, with the degradation of the mountain, one has to carry, not only small containers of commercialized mineral water but "by gallons" from Baguio, for cooking and for drinking.
Hopefully we could do something about it so that not only tourists but the locals will continue enjoying the clean, pure, real goodness of true mineral water.
A few kilometers before the summit of Mount Pulag at about four (4pm) ...
Camping at Camp Three (3) otherwise called as saddle camp.
This is where the tourists / hikers coming from the akiki trail area camp however BBOSS group converged with them though they came from the opposite direction.
Here, we had a "condominium" type of tent good for ten people and the camp site was filled with about fifty (50) campers on the site.
Preparing the camp dinner packed by FOODS CAMP Resto:-)
Start the trek back towards the ranger station.

The tip of the steep trail coming from the Saddle Camp.
Above this area is also the crossing or junction of the trail going to the summit
and going back to Ambangeg.
An attempt to shoot the summit in a tree frame... :-)
The best way to ride the dust and the jitney is the "top loading" ...
We coordinate with the driver and do the top loading only in areas where it is "safe".
The signage is now at the "altar" of the DENR PAO Office.
