How the "Bagtit" name came into view..


This Blog is a living witness of my enthusiasms to hike mountains and hills, my greatest ambition in life. The love of nature and rediscovering the wilderness! Come and join me in my spectacular journey, witnessing the beauty of the Philippines and other places that links to God's Creations. Embrace God's love by descovering the streams, rivers, sea's and mountains which the whole univers may offer.




April 16, 2011 when the bloggers decided to hike together with friends, Jane Ian (middle) and Neddy (Right), were about to hike Mt. Romelo at Siniloan Laguna. That time, I doubt if I could climb that mountain with a maximum elevation of 300 MASL thinking that this is my first climb in Luzon, the very first was in Mindanao. The moment we started hiking, my friends Jane Ian suggested that we need to have a group name, and she suggested the name "BAGTIT" or "KABAGTIT"! According to her this is the literal  ilocano word which means "crazy" or in tagalog "loka loka",hmmmm indeed Jane, that was a good group name, excellent choice!!
