Mt. Balagbag with a purpose (Christmas Trekking 2017)

Mt Balagbag
After Christmas Trekking 

Our trek to Mt. Balagbag started  around 5pm in the afternoon after to avoid the harsh sun and 

also finish the set up our tent early because the weather was not good that time.The trip started out fine.We plan to overnight to see famous overlooking view at the summit.Our organizer Sir Joe plan to have gift giving activities after our overnight stay in the summit. We have arrived at the jump-off point of the Trek. We paid Php 200 per head for the Mt. Balagbag registration fee. On the way to the summit, you will have to pay another Php 20 because it’s a private property.

Once you reach the store in the intersection point of the mountain where other hikers meet, you can choose to whether start on the left or the right part of the mountain for the climb. We chose to go to the left side first.

How to go to Mt. Balagbag

From Manila via commute:
From Cubao, ride a bus with the signage ‘Tungko’. Tell the driver to drop you off at BDO or Jolibee Tungko.
There’s a  jeepney terminal at the back of BDO bound to Licao- Licao. Fare is Php 27.00  per head.
From Licao-Licao, you can start your hike to Mt. Balagbag or ride a tricycle bound to Brgy. Balagbag jump-off point. Tricycle’s fare is Php 30.00 per head.

Note: Last trip of Licao-Licao jeepneys to Tungko are until 6:00 pm only. So make sure to be on time if you’re not planning to have an overnight in the mountain.
