1999 was the year when I first got to know about Patag - a mountain village in Silay City. It was the year I got to know Tatay Boning - one of the "landmarks" in my life. That was also the year I got introduced to environmental advocacies and outdoor life.
15 was my age then. So young but then so daring. The first time I went there, I was alone with just a piece of paper from a friend describing me the direction. And so I arrived with no one in the campsite as they all went to one of the waterfalls.
12 years already and counting... and I will still go visit this village... and try to help in whatever way I can.
SO this coming 10-11 December 2011, I will go back there again and I invite you all to come with me. What I plan now is to have a simple camping activity there with some interaction with the community. Details will be posted within the week.
