-first comment- hehhehe sec pala ng tourisim eh nag po-promote yata!! heheh

-the head guide comment-tabi-tabi po actually hindi po yan iniwan ang basura tinipon dahil may clean up drive na gagawin after ng climb ang tarp naka schedule tanggalin after ng holy week yon lang po. hindi kaagad naka clean-up sa mga basura dahil april 3 officially open na ang trail sa kapatagan kaya ang clean-up drive na move after na ng holy week. yon lang po maraming salamat sa pag post.

-second comment- with these pictures as evidence, i just think walang bmc nag guide at umakyat mt apo.

-my comment from the comment of the head guide- panu mo naman ipapababa yung basura na iniwan sa Goody-goody eh yung mga nasa plastic na camouflage green eh... HUMAN WASTE???

dapat sana ininform nyo yung umakyat na wag sa disposable plastic ilagay yung waste...kukunin sana namin kaso ang baho na nun..

hindi ka kasi umakyat eh... nag abang ka lang sa Agko to pay your porters...umakyat kami ng Kapatagan on April 4...pagdating namin dun nakita ko pa mismo na kinalat na ng pusa yung mga basura...may iniwan pang 2 gallons of empty water container.

dapat sinabihan nyo yung mga porters ninyo na dalhin yung mga basura sa pag baba nyo.. kasi binitbit ninyo yan.. dapat ibaba din...

about dun sa tarp na nakakabit sa boulders... after sana na dumaan si Sec Durano dapat pinakuha ng sweeper ninyo....

ang masama pa dun... may ibang groupo na nag comment about sa basurang yun... "Quoted" Pagbaboy ni Durano sa Apo" ngayon kaninong fault yan????

-another comment- and hindi lahat ng umaakyat dun eh...masyadong masipag para ibaba lahat ng basura na hindi binababa ng irresponsableng mamumundok.

nakakahiya.. :(

-another comment- Rason po b n may clean-up drive n gaganapin para iwanan nyo n lng ung dinala nyo n basura s itaas ng bundok. We promote Responsible Mountaineering. So we must act as a Responsible Mountaineer.

-another comment- ay ang galing ganda ng tarpaulin ha.... dami pang sponsors....

-another comment- *opinion lng*

lahat ay may karapatan umakyat sa kung ano mang bundok. kesihoda walang BMC man yan.. as long as may MATINONG PAG IISIP na hinde mag iiwan ng basura or magkakalat. anyweiz, KAHIYAAN na lang yan kay Inang kalikasan.

marami pang comment... after ng congress dadami pa yan... hehehe
