Every one of us has a story before and even during ECQ, it may be funny, difficult, or maybe sad. Well, whatever story you had before ECQ, good luck as soon as possible everything 😃😂 joke lang. Surely you don't want to put an end to that story especially if it's about adventure. I know you've been craving mountain, beach, fresh air, and fog that touches your skin.
It's been more than 30 days since Cebu province and other places are under Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ). As laagan, wanderer, adventurer, or whatever alias you call to yourself, one thing we both miss is our adventures like hiking, camping, beaching, and our laag buddies yes?
How's your days during ECQ? Kutob nalang throwback no? Well, I feel you mate😃😂, as much as we would love to go to adventure but better to stay indoor for our safety and to everyone.
Here, close your eyes, imagine your seating right in front of your tent somewhere in your favorite campsite, feel the breeze of the fresh air that touches your skin, listen to nothing but the song sang by the birds, hear not the noise pollution but the screaming cows, carabaos, goats and other animals that we commonly encounter in the mountain. Isn't it amazing? Peace of mind yea?
So, back on the question, "Asa ka before ECQ?" Before this pandemic spread?
A month before ECQ has been implemented, we were able to have our major climb in Mt. Pulag in Benguet. We're so thankful and lucky kay wala jud tawn na cancel and we are all safe ra.
During the first or second week of March a few days before enhance community quarantine (ECQ) has been announced, we had this sabot to make camping somewhere out there with friends during our hike sa Mt. Pulag. Since most of them haven't got to Lake Bensis in Toledo yet, we have all agreed to spend a night in Lake Bensis. Basically, hapit jud ni ma cancel on the day mismo sa laag due to unexpected circumstances but maayo nalang kay wala ra jud na cancel.

Few days right before ECQ has been implemented, we had our camping in Lake Bensis with Renson, Hards, Jolina, Jore, Brad, Elli, and friends. We had so much fun especially during the "S game", promise maka gamay gyud samot ug IQ ang S game 😃😂.
This was the last adventure we had since ECQ has been implemented in the entire Cebu. I know our life is so difficult during ECQ, almost everything is limited and I know we are all craving for some adventures (beaching and/or mountaineering).

We shall continue our stories after this CORONA Pandemic and when everything is safe. And hopefully, when the time comes, when this CORONA Pandemic will end, dili unta ta ma overwhelmed, unta dili nato malimtan ang Leave No Trace Policy.
