Pamitinan Cave, Mt. Pamitinan and Wawa Dam

EXPLORING PAMITINAN and WAWA DAM



It has been two months since my last climb and because I backed out at Mt. Damas last January, it made me more eager to climb mountain again. A week prior to 23rd of February, I together with some BPs planned to climb Mt. Pamitinan but due to some reasons, all of them backed out. On the morning of 23rd, I was inform by BP Isabel that she can’t make it and instead gave the number of Amber whom she informed about the planned climb. I immediately texted Amber and asked whether she is still interested to pursue the climb, in which she responded positively.

Residencia de Riego

AN UNEXPECTED ESCAPE 
@ RESIDENCIA DE RIEGO


There were so many things going on with the group during the first half of the month - birthday surprises and celebrations, basketball games and unlimited sessions in the metropolis. Despite these, we still managed to plan and execute an event for the love month - beachineering in Batangas.

Five BACKPACKERS went on this relaxing trip - 
Angel Cawaling, Anna Aujero, Marion Macapagal, Heinz Alvarez Jr and Ivan Laurence Ignacio

Anniversary Party 2013

The BACKPACKERS'
Third Year Anniversary Party:
Elegance in Paradise
  

2013 is a year worth remembering for The BACKPACKERS. We maneuvered through several obstacles and overcame challenges as a group, and we made it through. We traveled to many places, conquered many summits and held memorable events all year round. Our anniversary is on December 11, 2013; but because of the pre-booked Bohol adventure, we had to move the celebration during the yuletide week. And on December 28, 2013, the paradise of Park, Rest and Dine Restaurant in Baras, Rizal witnessed the elegant transformation of The BACKPACKERS without our hiking apparels and backpacks in a night of fun, excitement and bonding.
