Mount Pulag (or sometimes Mount Pulog) is the third highest mountain in the Philippines.
It is Luzon’s highest peak at 2,922 meters above sea level.
The borders between the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, and Nueva Vizcaya meet at the mountain's peak.

Our bike ride and hike adventure from QC/Manila all the way to the summit of Mt. Pulag.
Took us 3 days of bike ride and 2 days of hike. Most of it were rainy as I guess it was tagged as signal #1 in Benguet.
Spent the night at an old house inside the Benguet State University campus. Yes, some weird/unwanted noise and/or movements while we were inside the tent to sleep. Creepy it is.
For the the most memorable and emotional part of the adventure, Joycelle and Manong shared their blessings to the kids at Ambangeg Elementary School.
We will definitely be back there to give more supplies that you deserve.
Thank you so much for the most sincerest smiles and appreciation; those were more strength-giving than any multi-vitamin we took.
Manong and Joycelle stayed in the ranger station to sleep instead of pushing through the camp site and to the summit; the perfect choice made due to the bad weather.
Not able to get some sleep as it was too cold and wet especially at the camp site of Mt. Pulag.
Reached the summit at 5:45AM of day 5 embraced with clouds/fog/rain/etc and hit by strong winds.
Zero view, Zero visibility. Waited for a few minutes to let the clouds pass and finally witnessed the majestic sceneries from the summit of Mt. Pulag.
Mission accomplished.
Pain. We got water and time to rest.
Too much cold. We got a layer of shirt/jacket and a warm breath, and unlimited shots of patience to wait for a few hours until the sun comes up.
Thank you DENR Ambangeg.
Thank you Terry and Felix at the Ranger Station.
Thank you for all the people who gave us accurate directions when we were on the road.
Thank you Manong and Joycelle for the full support.
Thank you for everything, God.
We survived. We are alive.

Let us continue to share our blessings.
Let us be thankful for everything we have.
And just like what Bob Marley said, "Give thanks and praises to the most High.."
Keep it real.
