When undertaking adventures, we usually think of doing these activities for personal accomplishments. But there are times when we suddenly realize that we are doing these to honor someone. To show respect to people who have done so much for us even though they are usually invisible in our radar. Hiking Segment 3 of the Cebu Highlands Trail is honoring the men and women in uniform. The unfairly castigated law enforcers who are ready to give up their lives to keep us safe.
As of late, our country’s law enforcers—soldiers, policemen, tanods—have taken the brunt of unfair labeling and exposure. Media outlets usually portray them as incompetent, lazy, abusive, and corrupt men without honor. But nothing could be farther from the truth. During our CHT Segment 3 Hike, we witnessed firsthand to their kindness, dedication to safety, duty to protect, and bravery. To us, they are heroes.
As lovers of nature and adventure, we have learned to look at ourselves as being in synergy with the environment—a part of the biosphere.

As long as we’re doing activities for fun, fitness, and personal challenge; for the protection of Mother Nature; for helping and inspiring people and organizations, we’re perfectly fine with it.
Are you doing your part in taking care of our seas and oceans? If you are to live in this world, then such responsibility should be inherent in you.

Not using single-use plastics and not throwing garbage carelessly into the ocean are first simple yet significant acts of preserving Mother Nature.

We are only human. There are times when we just want to quit, throw in the towel, and raise the white flag. But as proven countless times, the human spirit is indomitable. Willpower, grit, and sheer determination can carry people to heights that they never thought was possible. The battle between quitting and persevering was what we fought during our climb up Mt. Kabunian, the third and final mountain in our Bakun Trilogy.
