January 2012 - The BACKPACKERS felt very honored to have been invited to an almost exclusive -to-the-group birthday party hosted by the celebrant herself, Emily Pacursa Peralta. We call her "Mommy Ems".
The event was held in Makiling Highlands Resort that is located at the foot of the legendary
Mt. Makiling in Capt. Mamon Road, Pansol, Calamba, Laguna and is only a
1-hour drive from Metro Manila.
Mommy Ems, together with her son, Daniel, was introduced to the group by Pam "Bamboo"
Bautista when the latter tagged them along as her guests during The BACKPACKERS' Mt.
Batulao climb in January 2011.

It was a happy celebration that everybody enjoyed. There were lots of sumptuous food; Mommy Ems herself prepared them for the Group. Kiddie games brought the child out of each one of us. And, the Amazing Race game, which was an ultimate fun, served as a good exercise for those hyper ones.

Most of The BACKPACKERS went back to Manila to report for their respective duties at work when the clock hit between eight and nine PM. A few stayed overnight at the celebrant's residence to enjoy the rest of Mommy Ems' big day.
