thanks for viewing this album...yes Mt.Banahaw still one of the best..but i dont know if it is already open to climbers..coz the DENR and some local officials there is crrently rehabilitating this mountain..but also, there were some groups who already trekked to Mt.Banahaw as long as the group must apply the "low impact camping" policy, meaning minimum numbers of climbers lang ata...parang ayaw ata ng local oficials na maraming climbers sa isang group.... ;-) and of course we need permits from the barangay official if were going to climb Banahaw again....this is only my gathered info or data from other mountaineering club.... thanks....
