Visiting Sagada again after thirteen years was a very different experience.
The infrastructures and tourist around were easily forgotten when you get into the icon in all parts of the Sagada, I find Sagada still very mystic. Cold weather, forested trail, long trek, added with the nice and knowledgeable guides who continuously provide education. I undauntedly made it, it was an adventure that I admired to experience in my mid-40s. Thank you to Eric who organized the trip with a good purpose – sending self-help books to the public schools in Sagada

13 Sagada Book Donors
Next sked is March 31-April 1 to 3, 2010, 1st BEST TIME Sagada Travel During Holy Week for only 3,200 inclusive of 2 breakfast meals, transportation, accommodation w/ blankets, major & minor tour packages w/ lamp, guide tips, van, museum fee, scholarship fund and surprises! See http://www.sagadalibrarian.backpackers.blogspot.com for other details & stories or text @ 09187318010.
Manang Julia, consultant and beloved, said in her text message: Hi Eric, thanks for this very nice book-WHY WORRY? When I started reading it I can’t stop until I have finished cover to cover. I will let my children read it. It’s a very gud buk. Thanks and regards.
Why Worry: How to Live Without Fear & Worry copies were distributed to 12 participantes of Sagada Librarian-backpackers, 9 municipality high schools and to few Sagadans met in the poblacion prior to a 4-hour Mt. Bomod-ok Falls Walk Over Rice Paddies, also known as little Banaue Rice Terraces in Fidelisan (northern barangay) last December 30 (Wednesday). See below a list for other book donations provided by the group to Bomabanga National High School with Mrs. Genevieve Gewan Daoas as coordinator for sent donations .
An hour-ride to Bontoc is its pride, the one must-see Bontoc Museum. Young tourists namely Geraldine (O.B. Montessori) who wishes to become a Mountain Province barrio teacher and Cecil (Girl Scout of the Philippines) whose one suitor is an Igorot, served as main recipients of exciting highland activities in this municipality on top of caves, known as Sagada.
Mt. Ampacao trekking attempt started with a long walk to Demang community, an old village with traditional rituals held @ ‘dap-ays,’ western barangay of Sagada Municipality. A single photo with the mountain’s Smart communication tower as backdrop is enough proof to try and trek Mt. Polis or Mt. Pulag. Other than high mountains, berry fields, and hush-hush trails, tagged Pork Chop duo, Lana (St. John C) and Bernadette (PNU), entertained the group while aiming for Lake Danum. Their batch mates, Kareen (ADMU) and Joel (TNL), cheered and jeered also. Past noon, they listened to Sigrid in the used-to-be-barracks now a pottery shop for a paid demo and were thrilled. After Alapo’s Sinigang warmed each, two did not join a walk to Echo Valley, where the group shoutout was made, to Hanging Coffins, where a sacred burial area with many old coffins was disovered, to Lemon Pie House, ordered for brewed coffee and lemon tea, to mushrooming shops for souvenir and gift items. The 2nd night ended with a light meal in the Masferre’s Restaurant surprising diners with piano pieces and Kundiman songs played on by expert Ms. Vernie of Sta. Isabel College-Manila. CCP’s Niko and Dr. Karen (former FEU Tamaraw) were so silent, enthralled, and obviously, had the evening’s music.
The trekking to Mt. Ampacao was second to the very popular Sumag-ing “Big” Cave (1st day, Dec. 28). Photos of group spelunking and rapelling will excite surely anyone. Dr. Karen, also a participante, discouraged those who have hypertension, heart ailments, diabetes and epileptic tendencies to perform any of the backpackers’ exhaustive activities. The good doctor also suggested everyone to moisturize. Males will have to moisturize, she added.
Pasta and yoghurt-tasting were part of the itinerary. Annie (Manila Science HS) and 15-year old named Rof had a nice mother and son bonding time with a newfound friend Froi (CCT) and Ms. Vernie at Sagada’s only Yoghurt House.

Sagada 2 Nights
Trip organizer Roderick and 15 young professional teachers, with 2 mothers and a father, from different schools distributed TJIC's Growing in Courage- Stories for Young Readers to Sagada kids as they met them in Ambasing and on their way to Mount Ampacao for 3-hour mountain trekking with guide Greg and free heavy lunch courtesy of a celebration's host/tour guide/hometown leader Egbert Dailay beside the next day's mountaineers' national summit camp place – Lake Danum last May 17(Sunday). They proceeded to a pottery shop listening and witnessing potter Tessie's handwork – a manual demo. The shop was built by American missionary Stapleton's son, Archie, who speaks Kankana-ey fluently and only exhibits products on invitation. Ice pellets and a heavy rain shower split the groups into two after pie afternoon snack break (lemon, blueberry & eig pies) with brewed coffee and lemon tea at the Lemon Pie House with comedienne Candy Nadal. A small group aimed for Calvary and Echo Valley by passing SMS, padi's cottage and a cemetery.
Prior to this and on a Saturday, they had Sagada's best offer for tourists and that's Sumag-ing cave spelunking with rappelling activities for four hours with Dave, Tiny plus two more Igorot guides. Lum-iang Cave, a burial cave, amazed each and now an entrance to the newest Cave Connection (priced @ 400 pesos for a group of 4). Mother and daughter from Dasmarinas,Cavite explored only the cave's belly and went back with shaky legs and knees due to rain showers and ice-cold water. Participantes, also, were surprised to see kids inside the biggest cave of Sagada.
2 Obaya days – sacred holiday – did not stop participants to see the biggest falls, Bomod-ok Falls, but insisted on delaying bus transport to Baguio and waited for Monday when everyone can make noise, see farmers in the field, and avoid village punishment for touring around Fidelisan and Aguid for beautiful terraces and long walk on rice paddies. Fidelisan kids, also, served as recipients to TJIC's generosity through Director Reysa Alenzuela with its book copies of Growing in Courage- Stories for Young Readers.
Participants who stayed for 2 nights at St. Joseph's Resthouse were: Bicolana lass call center pretty agent Shermyn, Roderick's favorite joiner Kristine with parents (King Joseph & Aurora), elem teachers Lea, Jam & Andeng, picture addict-model wannabe Ana, sweethearts Fe & Ronald, youthful Mark & Rachel, mother-daughter tandem Mommy Bonny & Mary, Charito Solis look-a-like Cecil, labelled by joiners Igorota Grace, Ms. China Abby and wife material Aileen Aha came from Diliman Preparatory School, Infant Jesus Academy Antipolo, La Salle Greenhills, St. Jude Catholic School, Philippine Normal University. They were not able to visit and missed one best museum in the northern which is the Bontoc Museum with a library, souvenir shop and an outdoor park/museum. The trip ended with a treat at Goodtaste Restaurant, Baguio for some Chinese cuisine @ 8:30 in the evening and hugs, kisses, well-wishing who are now Bff bestfriends forever.
Newsworthy: Sagada National High School, through Genevieve Gewan Daoas, continuously receives books through this activity while a scholarship fund is created from joiners' registration fees for an alumni group of librarians.
