Me, and my officemates just stays for 2 days only, together with, Ms. Jing & Voltaire, headed back to Manila, Sunday afternoon, actually it nice to stay there until Monday, but we have to go to work by Monday, so sad to say, were so envy to others who stays that afternoon until the next day....But all in all, the climb was so nice and so wet....hehehehe...Hopefully ill be back again in this mountain... To test my strength and endurance again....
Here some info's for this mountain....
In Southern Batangas is the coastal mountain of San Juan, Mt. Daguldul. The name 'Daguldul' or 'Daguldol' has been used since olden days. It has an onomatopoeic feeling ? that of suspense and grandness. Maybe it describes the grandeur of the range and the abrupt rolling of its slopes.
Actually a small mountain range, Mt. Daguldul has several 'gems' to offer. First, there is the unique seascape that greets the hiker on the intial beach trail. Then, there is trail, moderate in difficulty, passing by woodlands and light forests. In some parts, the greenery is total.
Of course there is the peak, which, although not really spectacular in terms of views, has a refreshing feel. Finally, there are excellent sidetrip choices such as the unique Naambon Falls and the acclaimed Laiya beach.
