#10DAYSNORTH S1DAY1 (PART 1) ft. Kabayan, Benguet
And we're off! Our #10DaysNorth adventure officially starts right now!
Our 1st episode takes us to Kabayan, Benguet to re-visit some of the historical sites here that has captivated my interest and imagination.
Famous in the climbing community as the jump-off to Mount Pulag's Akiki trail and it's centuries old mummies, Kabayan has more to offer if one choses to look beyond the usual path.
It was here where I first experienced the kind of 'balance' that existed between the traditional ways of locals and their modern way of living, as the town kept pace with the entire region's progress without completely giving in to the pressure of modernization on their culture, heritage, and envoronment.
Have you been to Kabayan? Let me know what you love about this place!

#10DAYSNORTH S1DAY1 (PART 2) ft. Tinongchol Burial Rock, Kabayan, Benguet
Probably the most memorable part of my visit here in Kabayan years ago (about 8 years I think!) is seeing the Tinongchol Burial Rock up close.
I've seen the hanging coffins in other parts of the region, and they are amazing, but what sets the Burial Rocks of Kabayan apart is HOW they were able to create these final resting places centuries ago.
It's one thing to lift wooden coffins meters up and secure them to cave walls (which is a remarkable feat on it's own!)...but to actually BURROW through SOLID rock with no modern tool or machinery, CENTURIES AGO, with extreme precision- now that is something else!
Though the exact method and crude technology is lost, oral history passed down through generations and shared to us by the present locals tell of a combination of certain extracts from different roots and herbs, the main of which is Ginger, that was rubbed on the chosen rock surface and heated by fire.
This results in the rock surface chipping off layer by layer, as the tedious process is repeated over and over until the desired size and depth is achieved. Polishing the rough surface of the finished chamber is done by using a wooden chisel.
And thats just half of the work!
Wooden or Bamboo scaffoldings are built next, sometimes with a pulley system made of vines, to lift up the Wodden Coffins by the rock hole entrance. The coffin is then manually guided inside and arranged to accommodate the maximum number of coffins that would fit.
A big FYI- one of the man made holes in this huge burial rock in Tinongchol is on a facing a cliff. A cliff with a hundred or so meter drop.
I dont know about you, but this whole practice- from the tedious process to the unbelievable execution- just blows my mind away!

The Mummies of Mt. Timbak | Atok, Benguet | Philippines | We.Are.Wanderful
May 17, 2008—Tropical storm Cosme made its landfall the night before, and is now battering northwestern Luzon with heavy rains and gusty winds. After staying overnight in Baguio City to rest from the long drive from Manila, we left for Atok, Benguet in the middle of a heavy downpour and eerily howling wind. Visibility was close to zero. Could it be that the Anitos of the mountain people of the Cordilleras might not have approved of our trip to Mt. Timbak? We bravely proceeded anyway.
There were five of us from the Delbros AB Normal Club: Our founder and climb leader, Ed Delgado; his personal driver, Edirey Reyes; Arvin Velbis of Delbros QEG; Gig Hagad of Delwater; Sherwin De Jesus, IT consultant in Delwater; and myself. There was also Maxi, a young Pitbull who has a been a regular in all our climbs this year. Two professional climbers from the Boy Scouts of the Philippines National Office joined us: Sophie Castillo and Derek Bonifacio. We also have the Johannots: Daniel, Petty, and their daughter Florence. And of course our climb coordinator and guide, John Dipasupil.
The weather at Atoc, 55 kilometers deep into Benguet Province via Halsema Highway, was not unlike in Baguio when we arrived there at around 11 AM.
The Mummies of Mt. Timbak were first discovered during the second world war when people went higher up in the mountains to avoid the hostilities. But it was only in the early 70s, when people started logging activities in the area, when more of the mummies emerged from their secret resting places and started to attract attention.
The Mummies of Mt. Timbak, and the mummies of the Cordilleras in general, are always in a fetal position. This is because they were tied and wrapped this way so they will would fit into smaller coffins, essentially wooden boxes that look more like baul (i.e. wooden chest). The mummification process is quite ingenious and I am yet to do a research if a similar procedure had been used elsewhere. A makeshift shed, quite similar to a kennel, is prepared somewhere within the yard of the dead person’s house. The cadaver is placed inside the shed and left there for several days while a slow-burning flame is sustained beneath the shed to smoke the cadaver. It is essentially the same process used in making smoked food (i.e. smoked fish, smoked meat, etc.) except that this is of the morbid kind.
This is a short slideshow video of our photos at/in INSERT_PLACE. Enjoy watching.

Cabbage Roses of Atok, Benguet
A family outing that saw us visit the new tourist attraction of Benguet. We were on our way to Sagada but decided to stay overnight at Northern Blossom Flower Farm, the home of the Cabbage Roses. Atok, Benguet was a surprise because even in the middle of scorching summer, temperature in Atok remains at a foggy, chilly 13•C, which is around 5•C colder than Baguio. Places visited were:
Lemon & Olives (Baguio)
