Mt. Talamitam | BHM on 3rd

Our original plan was Mt. Maculot, but two days before the climb, it was changed to Mt. Talamitam in Nasugbu, Batangas. Night trekking was certainly full of fun since there was no problem with the harmful UV rays. Talamitam is covered with cogon grass and shrubs; no hardwood or trees that can protect the hikers from the sun's rays. Its highest point measures 630+ MASL with a gorgeous ambiance on top. There's a one-meter assault to the summit, which added an amazing adventure to the hikers. Mt. Batulao and Mt. Pico de Loro were just two of the well-known mountains nearby.

Mt. Maculot

Mt. Maculot is one of the mountains lying in southern Luzon, which is prominent to mountaineers because of its special feature. It is one of the best options for day hikes because of its minor trail type, terrains that are covered with trees and surrounded by grass and shrubs, the air is fresh, cool ambiance, and a perfect location for a stunning shot with the world-famous and most active Taal Volcano in the background. The Rockies are one of the best and famous parts of this mountain.

Photos of Mt. Apo

Mt. Apo is the tallest mountain in the Philippines, 2,956 MASL. It was a tough journey, but absolutely a life-changing experience for us. Despite its technical factors like the assault and steep trails, extreme coldness, tiring hike and etc. that measured my strength, I was able to conquer my own fears. It's hard to tell and explain, so these photos below will explain more.

Ortigas Center, Pasig City

About Ortigas Center

When I was still in Romblon, I didn't expect that my career would be boosted here in Metro Manila, particularly in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. It was in 2008 when I started working in a BPO, but it's my first time adding this place in SirangLente or TravellingCup. Ortigas Center has a lot to offer, from the five-star hotels with world-class facilities, restaurants serving mouth-watering delicacies made by people from different parts of the world, call center companies serving different languages, and many others.

Getting a Copy of NSO Birth Certificate at SM

An NSO or PSA Certified Birth Certificate is one of the most important documents that you should furnish from the government. Birth certificates are needed for employment, school, and to request other IDs. So, to get 1 valid ID, you should submit 2 valid IDs. Hahaha. Despite the fast technology, let's accept the reality that requesting documents from the government agencies needs more time and effort. To resolve this old problem, government agencies like NBI, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, DFA, and other offices placed their kiosk inside the SM Supermalls and Robinsons nationwide.
