BTW, this is very comprehensive article about my Hometown. Great Job!

Though to add, there is one thing I highly recommend to tourists and locals alike. Try to Climb Mt. Kitanglad Peak. I did it with Friends from Work just last month. Trail was challenging, company was fun, view was awesome. More than anything, the climb itself was a learning experience.

This is one thing that makes me say, “Choosing to work near home over my stint in Metro Manila is one thing I’ll never regret.”

(If you’re really a mountaineer, do the Dulang-dulang Kitanglad Traverse – http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/2007/09/mt-dulang-dulang-2398.html)

Thank you for this detailed information about our province Bukidnon! I grew up in this place but never ventured much to other towns. I never knew that there are many lakes in our place until I read this post, hehe. It reminds me that I should explore my province more. Indeed it’s true that transportation to the rural towns can be really difficult but hopefully something will be done about it. Even without the recreational parks or resorts, I simply love our place for its beautiful views of the mountains and forests! :D

I grew up in the Philippines, but moved to the States when I was 15. I’m planning to go back within about 1-2 years from now, but besides going back to my own province I’d really like to go to Bukidnon. Actually, I’ve been wanting to see the place ever since I was about 8 or 9 years old (I haven’t fully figured out why; I have no relatives there, but I would always dream of being in the middle of a huge pineapple plantation). It’s great to know that it’s not as popular as the other tourist spots! I would hate to see it all commercialized and far uprooted from its origins.

I just had one question: what do you think would be an ideal maximum number of days spent there? Since I’m planning to visit friends and relatives in other places, I’d like to spread out my time wisely, but I also have been dreaming of going to Bukidnon one day and would not want to rush my stay there… it’s almost like going on a mini-sabbatical/retreat/reflection.

Thanks so much!
