"Dayhike turned 22-hour hike at Mt. Balingkilat traverse to Nagsasa Cove via Baculi. Lost and e-camp at Kapatagan. Still, had fun swimming, camping and observing Leonids at Nagsasa Cove. " — MJGPresto • Nov 17, 2018

"Hiked with some of our friends who wants to experience mountaineering. Forest trail is perfect for beginners, rich in flora and fauna, amazing view of the towering Mt. Banahaw and Mt. Cristobal and the lakes on its foot." — frankoie • Jul 14, 2018

"Hiked with my wife, and a some friend. Enjoyed the calming sound of the forest all the way up to the hut. The grass part of the summit and the 360-view of Laguna de Bay is its main feature. Locals are kind and accomodating." — frankoie • Jun 24, 2018

"Philippines. Started in Los Banos at the university. It was Good Friday, Holy Week, lots of people! First part is a paved road. Lots of shops. Bought some bananas. Went to mud pool first. At Agila Base the path got small. Climbed through forest. A lady gave some information: watch out for leeches and need to come down at 14 o clock! Oh ooh. Detour between station 16 and 17 because of landslide. On the way up went hardcore, left everyone behind. Wanted to make the summit before deadline. Climbed like crazy, passed lots of people. Did not wait for people coming down. Got to Peak 2 at 13h45 uff! No possibility to make traverse, army guarding path. Open grass field. Drank some water and went back down to cheer up the others. Found Judith and Sam at station 28. They will make it. Went back up with them. Climbed a tree to have a view on Laguna, Talim Island on one side and Taal Lake and Volcano on other side. Nami and G make it to the top aswel! Yes! Go down slow, lots of mud. Got bitten by something when I sat down to rest. Hand stung for a few days." — Pieter • Mar 30, 2018

"Philippines. Took tricycle from Tagaytay to Taal Lake. A catamaran took us to the Taal Island. Got a guide who took us on a dusty path up. Some people on horses. Had a beatiful view over the surroundings just before sunset." — Pieter • Mar 14, 2018
