During this event I have all the time and opportunity to exploit the flora and fauna of Mount Balabag and Guiban Falls. Unfortunately, I missed to capture the wild orchids - my camera batteries gone empties.
One of the best features in the area was the hospitality of the Subanen people, one of the most friendly indigenous people I've personally met.
