This is a quick escape from Manila since we've realized that it was a holiday and perfect timing to go out of the sun. Hello summer! We boarded the 5 am five star bus from Pasay (P128). After less than 2 hours we've reached San Miguel Bulacan. We had our breakfast of porridge at a local eatery for only 20 pesos. Actually, its unlimited but the bowl is enough for each of us.
From there, we hired a tricycle going to Brgy. Madlum (P240). It is a long rocky road. Then we paid for tricycles entrance (P15).
To go to the other side of the river one has to take the bamboo raft (P5) or the monkey bridge(free but risky). And we found out another way to save our 5 pesos, we go to one side of the river that has no water on it.
Mount Manalmon is an easy climb with only 160 MASL but for safety they require you to be assisted by Madlum guides.
Church
Madlum Cave
Easy trek.
Pineapple
Almost there
as we thought this is the summit. It is not.
We passed by the camping site and then the summit. Mt. Gola is here.
Risky photo ops
Jumpshots
We saw a snake. Good thing its dead. And I'm amazed with the guide how he warned us to back off when he saw this.
Fighting the heat of summer. Lucky for them they have a free pool.
Another heat buster is the Halo-halo (p25). We had our lunch here. Mine is grilled pork with rice (P65)
Our Madlum adventure continues with Bayukbok Cave...
