2013 Team BUNDOL Mountaineers Yearend Review

The Year 2013 had been a wonderful year for Team BUNDOL Mountaineers!

 Here is summary of our achievements this year: 

• Qualifying to the National Finals of the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations of the Philippines
• Accomplishing the 3rd EcoTrek, which is our most successful so far. It was participated in over 100 mountaineers from distant places. We received enormous positive comments from our participants.
• All months of the year, Team BUNDOL Mountaineers had initiated and participated in activities such as fun climbs and explorations, gift-giving, and tree-planting.
• We had also conducted the first acceptance climb at Mt. Matutum.

Here is a video created by Vice President Mardy Bacquiano showing photos of our activities in the past year:

 
I would also like to share this video created by one of our participants from Mati Outdoor Club from Mati, Davao Oriental.

  We are looking forward to more success for Team BUNDOL Mountaineers in the year 2014.

The 3rd EcoTrek is just around the corner

IT'S TIME for the 3rd EcoTrek of Team BUNDOL Mountaineers!

On November 29-30, mountaineers South Cotabato, Davao, Panabo, General Santos City, and Sarangani Province will come together to advocate Tourism, Education, and Environment.

Now on its third year, Team BUNDOL Mountaineers will bring mountaineers to Lake Mofong in Domolok, Alabel, Sarangani Province to plant trees, to establish a plant nursery, and to distribute school supplies for the pupils and students of Dacera Integrated School and Lilok Elementary School.

After the outreach activity, the mountaineers will then trek to Siniel Falls in Maasim, Alabel, Sarangani Province.

Here is the itinerary of the 3rd EcoTrek:

More than Just an Outdoor Adventure

NOT ONLY shall the 1st MunaTo Festival EcoTrek give its participants the opportunity to appreciate the wonderful gift of nature to Sarangani but also the chance to be agents of change for the environment and for the Sarangan children.

The participants will be planting trees in the areas designated by the local leaders, who will then be taking care of the planted trees. The National Greening Program of the government seeks to plant 1.5 billion seedlings in 1.5 million hectares of public lands nationwide in six years. One of the goals of the MunaTo Festival EcoTrek is to support this program.

In partnership with Quality Education for Sarangani Today (QUEST), the EcoTrek participants will help bring books for New Canaan Integrated School pupils. The organizers are also gathering books for the school's library.

You, too, can be part of this endeavor. Feel free to contact us.
