Recently, there was a proposal to make a Ternate landfill which will transform parts of Mts. Palay-Palay / Mataas na Gulod National Park - home of Pico de Loro and Mt. Marami - into a garbage site. Mountaineers naturally protested this move, and we commend the DLSU-DMS guys for advocating this cause.
So there should be no more garbage in Pico de Loro? Wrong. Sadly, the enemy is within. There may not be a landfill in Ternate, but there is garbage in Pico de Loro's campsites.
What should be done about this? Who should be held responsible?

please remove this ugly picture from your website! do you think the philippines will look good with this??
sad but true... our mountaineers are becoming irresponsible in proper garbage disposal. Hmmmm... let us prove this statement wrong... Let's just abide in the ethics of being a mountaineer... Let's love and care for the environment... Kuya gideon, thanx for this blogpost....

!!!NO TO TERNATE LANDFILL!!!
noli
lets protect our environment,let us make our mountain still an protective area.
hindi po MOUNTAINEERS may gawa nito...this are some tourist or just bakcpackers na walang proper knowledge o tamang aral, LEAVE NO TRACE....anu pu ba ang pamantayan ninyo para tawagin kaung mountaineer?...i believe this are not mountaineers but irresponsible people who are trying to be mountaineers but dont have proper knowledge....
kawawa nmn ang bundok...pinapasaya na nga tyo binababoy nmn natin...mountaineer or ndi mountaineer,dapat magtulungan para maprotektahan ang mga bundok...
nkita ko yan last sept. mmm mga pabayang mang aakyat nang bundok! ang karaniwan sa kanila e yung mga na mamanata.. sakit nga sa mata 22o yan.. play ground ku n rin tong bundok na to e! mmm c mang june ata yun nang papastol yung na niningil sa kubo nang climb fee sana n man ma kita nya yun syang yung bayad n tin ampp i hope malinis nya yun
lets monitor the situation in pico. hopefully mag-improve ito in the future.
mountaineer's creed: take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time, LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTPRINTS... sana po lahat ng outdoor enthusiast ay maging sensitive sa kapaligiran nila... maaaring nanalo tayo labang sa ternate landfill pero hindi pa rin natatapos ang laban sa pagiging responsable ng mga tao... sana maging aware tayo sa kapaligiran natin...
di lang po dapat pico de loro ang tignana natin lalo na po ang mt rommelo sa famy laguna ang dumi na din ag grabe dika na makaka inom ng tubig sa ilog di katulad nuon dapat bago sila umakyat dun panag sa kubo ni manag sa baba inaabisuhan na yung mga climber at dapat may mga climber din na nag babantay sa kapwa climber pra bantayan sila mag kalat at pag multahin kasi sinisira nila ang kalikasan masaya nga tayo kaso ang kalikasan malungkot dahil sa ginagawa ng ibang climbers.....
dapat mag kaisa ang mga mountaineering sa club sa pinas na linisin ang mga bundok sa pinas para ma isaayos ulit ang dating ganda nito kasi tayo din mga mountaineer ang mga nag dala sa mga di tunay na climber sa mga lugar na ito kay nalalaman nila ang papunta dito at kung magsasama tayo nag mga guest sa ating mga pag akyat abisuhan sila kung ano ang mga ipinagbabawal lalo na ang pakakalat para di naman nila ma salaula ang ating mga bundok
la naman yan kung ano ka at taga san ka! how can u enjoy if ganito makikita nyo u ur self respecting the nature, but the others did the other way! dibah! even in thier own house ginagaw nila yan what more p sa labas un lng ^^
