Year 10 Venerable Brother Alfano went on their field trip on September 28,2012, Friday at Mt. Banahaw and the surrounding areas of it as part of the school activity to meet their goal in doing their mega project for different subjects.

The students were given instructions before the field trip as their guide on how they are going to prepare for their trip. One of the instructions given is going to school 5:00 in the morning because the bus will be leaving at exactly 5:40.

The tour guide said “Mt. Banahaw is considered a holy place and you need to prevent yourself in saying the word “kulto” to pay respect for the people who live there”.

VBA was brought to many places that are considered holy such as gate of Ciudad Mistica de dios, Husgado cave, Calvary and river.

Before going to the Husgado up to the river, they had their warm-up exercise lead by the tour guides. This exercise is really important to prevent cramps and injuries and to become more stable especially in climbing up to the calvary.

The students were also joined by three people who lived there to guide them the way going to the places around the mountain.

In the middle of the adventure, they had their lunch for about 30 minutes after they went to the Husgado cave which is believed to be the judgment of your own sins.

After their lunch, they immediately held to the Mt. Calvary which is considered to be the mountain where Jesus sacrifices himself to save his people.

Their last destination is the river where the students bathed to wash their body. This river is believed to have a healing power.

Immediately after the bathing sessions they went back again to the bus and returned to school at 10:00 for approximately 4 hours of travel. They went back to school tired but at the same time happy for a fulfilling trip to Banahaw.
