Victor Joel "Biki" Ayson's Facebook Cover Photo

Last April 2, 2013, while we are going to Romblom to climb Mt. Guiting-Guiting, I read news that a mountaineer was missing in Mt. Maculot. When we arrived in Tatay Remy’s House,

Tatay Remy asked us if we heard the news about the mountaineer who’s missing in Mt. Maculot. According to Tatay Remy, Victor Ayson just recently climbed Mt. Guiting Guiting last Holy Week and after that he went for a solo hike to Mt. Maculot living his backpack on the mountaineers stop on the foot of Mt. Maculot in Cuenca, Batangas.

April 14, 2013: After two weeks of search and rescue of different organizations.

For your reference, last March 4, 2013, InterAksyon.com posted my photo without any permission and not even credited to me. The photo was already cropped together with my watermark.

See complete story here >>> KidapawanCity: Stairway to Mt. Apo's Summit Coming Soon

Yesterday, (March 5, 2013) my god daughter Jenii Ramos tweet my blog and tag Interaksyon on it. Interaksyon responded to Jenii’s tweet and they send me a direct message apologizing on the things they made and informed me that they already removed the photo and replaced it with a new one. But I asked them to send a formal apology together with a detailed reason why they cropped the watermark of my photo?

Here is the Original Mt. Apo Photo

When I saw this post "Kidapawan City to build 7-km stairway to Mt. Apo's summit" on Facebook, it immediately caught my attention. The first thing comes to my mind is the effect of it to our beloved nature. It will ruin the natural beauty of Mt. Apo.

Mt. Natib - Rainy Climb

Mt. Natib is inactive starvolcano located in the northern end of Bataan Peninsula. Even if is a volcano, there were no historical eruptions or volcanic activity was recorded. It is also the Bataan’s Highest Peak with an elevation of 1,253 meters. And in 1945, it was declared a protected area of Bataan National Park. Mt. Natib is located in Barangay Tala, Orani, Bataan.

In 2008, Natib was closed for the reason that ongoing military operations have been conducted on the area. And in 2009, it was reopened again for climbers. As being the highest mountain in Bataan, most mountaineers dream to climb Mt. Natib. Whenever I heard of Mt. Natib, it always comes to my mind is the “limatik” or blood leeches. May be because of the articles I read about Mt. Natib and seeing the hiking photographs from the internet.
