Mount Apo, from a distance, at the beginning of the trek.
It’s Sunday, 2:00 am of April 5, 2009. I am going to Mount Apo! Finally, after waiting for a long time I decided to go alone to Mt. Apo. Since college days we have been dreaming of going to this popular mountain where all mountaineers love to be — at its peak. This is the highest mountain in the Philippines! Mt. Apo towers over Southern Mindanao, and straddles the provinces of Davao del Sur and North Cotabato. It possesses a formidable array of landscapes, from craggy rocks to virgin forests and other wonderful sights; from mossy swamps in Lake Venado to volcanic structures.
