On the First week of March , I had a call from a guy in the person of Jan Israel Samaniego (Ish) who wants climb Mt. Apo together with Seven(7) of his friends and later informed me that this is a very special climb for him for he is going to propose to his girlfriend Jen(Jenny Lyn Quilala) during sunrise at the center peak in which the later has no idea about his plan.
As for me and my crew, we are also excited on this climb for its seldom to experience this kind of event in which you have to make an enduring Two days ascend to the highest point of the country to make a wedding proposal to your love one,,,,,Its a very unique act of love and devotion ,,,,,,
Luckily , Ish’s plan worked very well , and on March 17, 2013 at exactly 5:33 AM it was a perfect timing when he gave the engagement ring to Jen in the center peak with a beautiful sunrise as a back draft,,,then tears of joy , clicking of the cameras and clapping of hands happened and we congratulate the couple,,,
On this Three Days climb (March 15-17,2013), we took the Sta. Cruz-Kidapawan Traverse Trail Passing the boulders , camping at the summit, having lunch @ Lake Venado then down to lake Agco passing Ko-ong trail and Marble river where we stayed for the night and diiping to the hotsprings,,,,
Together with their Friends who witnessed the Proposal
