Summary of our 5 day adventure

Mt. Maculot

• > If planning to climb this at Holy week, better do it on Holy Wednesday. Holy Thursday can be crowded as in not only the mountaineers are there but also the locals of Batangas and some tourists. Well, if you like more people to chat with, it's up to you. Just be sure you have a place to put up your tent.
• > Climbing the Mt. Maculot at Holy week invites more people and some locals to sell something from fresh buko (coconut) juice to halo-halo. The bad part of it is the trash of the people climbing it. So be sure not to left any of your candy wrapper or any snack at the mountain. Please be responsible.
• > There's a water source at the camp site that can be used for bathing and washing your dishes and things.
• > For us, seeing the sunrise at the rockies is the best. Be sure to wake up as early as the sun rise.

Pulang Bule

• > We saw some butterfly fish there and some stingray. Exploring it may conclude to more exciting fish and corals to see.
• > President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo like this place for snorkling so why cant you.
• > Water source here is only from the deep well. But you can buy some mineral or purified water there.
• > You can buy some "Tuba" (coconut whine) there for your "Barik" (booz) session.
  

Mt. Mag-asawang Bato

• > Since it's only a one hour (or less) climb, it s best to hike this at morning to enjoy the rest of your day at the beach.
• > There is always a fork on the way since the locals of the Masasa is also using the mountain to shepherd their cows. So, be sure to take the right trail and watch out for some slippery part of the trail.
  
• > Masasa has a beautiful beach to offer. So, bring your snorkels and goggles to explore the sea.
  
• > Locals there said that the owner of the sail boat there offer some free ride. Well, we can't conclude this since we dont bother tried it. Better ask them when you visit the Masasa.
• > Bring a tent to have a personal shed or just look for some coconut tree, just be sure that the coconut doesnt fall on your head.
• > There a store at the tricycle station that you could purchase some soda and crackers.
• > Another thing, when our new here, there's a paved way from the tricycle area up to the beach but the way is stiff and can be exhausting to some new visitors especially when you decided to go up hill again.
• > There's a boat ride there in Masasa to Mindoro's Puerto Galera for only PhP 80.00 as the locals there said.
