Feeling queen of my own empire at Mt. Maculot, Cuenca Batangas. |
Excitement is an understatement when an officemate
mentioned about Mt. Maculot. It is barely an hour and a half from Pasay and can
be clambered at a minimum time. Just perfect for a quick lone getaway. I
cannot wait! No itinerary. Just me, myself, and I dating nature. But like any
other story, there was a wicked witch—my darling, darling sister. She found out
I would be mounting alone and just taken back her words of allowing me to do
such thing. Darn! Why in the first place did I mention I’ll go alone. I mean,
what is the big deal? I’m an independent woman (chos!) and I can handle myself.
Many people do the same. But I do not want my family to worry so I did find two
on the go buddies. By the way, lesson learned. Never mention where to go and
who’s with you to avoid 'gala' plan disrupted.

The Experience
Dismayed that my first plan did not materialize, I thought I'll journey up totally flabbergasted. Thanks to Ipay and Ryan being the 11th-hour amazing travel buddies it turned out otherwise. Mt. Maculot is just a chill climb and even chiller if you have 'not maarte' and 'go lang' company. The ascend is lung-friendly which I enjoyed given I have a weak one. Thirst is surely quenched with iced cold buko juice at every station and if you are lucky enough hitch a shot of Emperador with the locals. How to get to Mt. Maculot?
