It is a dwarf and a hiking-friendly mountain in Montalban, Rizal, that can give you a tantalising view of nature's beauty. Together with Pamitinan and Binacayan, Hapunang Banoi is one of the most hiked mountains in the area because it is also surrounded by Lucius green trees, which makes the area look relaxing. Plus the exhilarating terrains added an adventure to hikers. In the centre of these mountains is Wawa Dam, a water reservoir built by the Americans. This area was chosen because it's a catch basin of the three mountains.
This mountain is one of the most hiked mountains because it became famous due to its accessibility from Manila. It's been a long time since we planned to visit Wawa Dam and hike the twin mountains, for some reasons, it resulted to "drawing." Hiking Mt. Pamitinan is a bit challenging but will definitely give you an amazing and wide view of the greens surrounding Wawa Dam and part of Sierra Madre.
Alam kong pamilyar sa inyo ang balkonaheng ito, kadalasang laman ito ng ating mga libro ng Kasaysayan. Ngayon, ipapakita ko sa inyo ang kabuuan ng makasaysayang bahay na ito. Nakatutuwang isipin na nasa harapan ako ng isang istrukturang naging bantayog dahil sa naibigay nitong kontribusyon sa Pilipinas - ang Kalayaan. Habang tirik na tirik ang araw, ang puso ko nama'y hindi mapigilang lumundag dahil sa lubos na galak, samantalang ang ihip ng hangin naman ay may kalamigan na pumapawi sa init na aking nararamdaman.
