MT. PAMITINAN

I DO NOT EXACTLY KNOW THE HISTORY OF MOUNT PAMITINAN IN BARANGAY WAWA MONTALBAN RIZAL WHICH IS KNOWN TODAY AS RODRIGUEZ RIZAL. BUT THE WORD PAMITINAN IS A TAGALOG DIALECT WHICH MEANS "HANGING" OR BETTER KNOWN BY MOUNTAINEERS AS CLIFFHANGERS. A STORY OR EVENT WITH A STRONG ELEMENT OF SUSPENSE. MOUNTAIN CLIMBING IS A STORY OR EVENT WITH A STRONG ELEMENT OF SUSPENSE.


MOUNT PAMITINAN HAS AN APPROXIMATE HEIGHT OF BETWEEN 400-500 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. WE STARTED OUR QUEST AS EARLY AS 4:00AM. SOME TREKKERS STARTED TREKKING (LEG JOURNEY) AT 4:30AM ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR GUIDES. OUR TEAM (ALL BEGINNERS) STARTED OUR LEG JOURNEY AT 5:00AM.





THERE ARE DIFFERENT DRAMA'S AND STORIES TO BE TOLD BEFORE REACHING THE PEAK OR SUMMIT. SOME OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS WANTED TO QUIT BUT WE PUSH THEM TO GO ON BELIEVING IN HIMSELF/HERSELF THAT THEY CAN DO IT.







SLOWLY BUT SURELY, WE MOVE TOGETHER AS A TEAM. OUR GUIDE TOLD US THAT IF WE FEEL TIRED DON'T HESITATE TO CALL HIS ATTENTION AND WE WILL STOP FOR A WHILE TO REGAIN THE STRENGTH OF OUR LEGS TO CONTINUE REACHING THE TOP.






THIS IS ONE OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS FOUND IN RIZAL PROVINCE. THE CLIMBERS NEED TO BUY GLOVES AS PROTECTION FOR SHARP ROCKS.





FINALLY OUR TEAM REACHES THE SUMMIT WITHOUT CASUALTY. IT IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. WE MOTIVATE OURSELVES THAT WE CAN DO IT. SOMETIMES WE NEED TO PUSH OUR STRENGTH TO THE LIMIT. WE SHOUT FOR JOY AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL OVERLOOKING SCENERY.




GOING UP TO THE MOUNTAIN IS ONLY HALF OF A SUCCESSFUL MOUNTAIN CLIMBING GOING DOWN IS THE OTHER HALF. I DARE YOU GOING DOWN IS NOT EASY AS MOST OF US US ARE THINKING ESPECIALLY WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING AND WARM-UP. BENDING YOUR KNEES AS YOU GO DOWN WILL BE THE DIFFICULT ONE.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
