Sagada Librarian-Backpackers: Congratulations to You!

6 (six) librarians, 1 (one) archivist with four (4) teachers namely: Ira Albalos (TNL); Grace Bansig (M. Gandhi International School); Jorge Bundalian (DLSU-Manila); Roderick B. Ramos (PNU); Board topnotcher Chona F. San Pedro (TNL); Maricel Tatel (Filipinas Heritage Library); Board topnotcher Zipporah M. Dery (Insular Life Assurance Co., Ltd.); and, Grade School teacher Joan Malabuyoc, French-Filipina Criz Peugniez, Science teacher Maricar Rama (M. Gandhi International School) strenuously explored Sagada, left no minute in walking around and enjoyed spelunking with river and cave waterfall rappelling with legitimate tourist guides of the municipality - Jeff, Philip and Kef. Participantes dared to appear alone at Lumiang Cave where hanging coffins are plus wrestled with ice-cold weather and heavy winds and fog at the Echo Valley where the Calvary is but frustrated a little with a no-show of famous American historian Scott’s own vault and triumphed over the very physical outdoor activity in Sagada (Sumag-ing, Lake Danum, Bomod-ok) and gifted themselves with slices of lemon pie, passion fruit, plastics of mountain tea, souvenir shopping, tapuy or rice wine, Sagada longganisa, pinikpikan, plus a company to be remembered at all times!

Also, trip coordinator Ramos turned-over first batch of donated books by TJIC through Director Alensuela and Ms. Alejandrino, Bundalian, San Pedro, Architect Gener, Balenbin of Don Bosco to English teacher-editor Genevieve Gewan-Doaoas of the Bomabanga National High School for documentation and safekeeping.
