OFFICERS

TESTIMONIES!

Vladimir Alcasid, Executive Vice President

DLSU Outdoor Club is the only organization

where one will learn to go outside of their comfort

zones, discover oneself, and grow as matured

individuals that care for the nature and environment.

Away from the usual city life - stressful, polluted,

congested, but with all the comforts and luxuries of life

- this org breaks out from the mainstream and gives

opportunity for everyone to enjoy outdoors, meet new

friends, and have the adventure of a lifetime. Being

carefree and having such spontaneity, every trip has

its own different exciting story to share. DLSU Outdoor

Club is more than an organization, it is life changing.

Laura Cua, Executive Secretary

Its great to live a life full of passion andadventure. In DLSU Outdoor Club, I am able to do

exactly that. The unique experiences I gained racked

up a lot of 'firsts' for me, and I could not be happier.

Eileen Robles, VP Publicity

DLSU OC gives people room

to grow and learn. Personally, it

challenged me to overcome my

fears so that I could reach my full

potential. I discover something

new each time I hike with OC.

Stephanie Liao, VP Mem-Devt

So many organizations in

DLSU say that they have become

a family, but only DLSU Outdoor

Club has become 'home' for its

members.

Abi Dolon, VP Logistics

Joining OC is like having a

new family, a new set of friends

where you feel welcomed,

loved and treasured as an

individual. This group assists

each member or participant to

gain a new learning or skill as

well as to improve what they

are capable of.

Iris Ang, AVP Activities

Where can you find an

organization that can bring you

up the mountains or under the

sea? Where can you find people

who will laugh with you after a

hike because your bodies are

just too sore? Where can you find

a group who has that same thirst

for adventure as you do? Well

look no further. Join DLSU

Outdoor club and see for

yourself.

DLSU Outdoor Club was the first org that I've

joined and it will be my one and only org till the end of

time. The leadership program really help build up mypassion and love toward Mother Nature. This Club

allowed me to interact with different kinds of people,

as a result I realized that I am not alone in this world

and there is definitely unity in diversity. :)

Vic Chan, VP Activities

There are no dull moments in this

org. The people are great and the

adventures are awesome. This is the only org

that will take you to greater heights, both

figuratively and literally. Here in The De La

adventure.

Nacey Li, AVP Finance

I never thought that joining the DLSU

Outdoor Club would be one of the best decisions

I've ever made in my college life. The hikes, beach,

and other outdoor activities I've attended not only

tested my limits but also granted me more friends

and experiences. There was never a boring moment

in the activities and when I'm with the members.

Even in school, the people in Outdoor Club continue

to joke and help each other out.

GULUGOD CLIMB

THE BABOY CLIMB by

Benj Tuason

[Date]

DLSU OC x SMS

COOL.

EPIC.DLSU OC.

Gulugod Baboy is a mountain with adistinguishing peak that looks like a pig

spine, hence the name of the mountain.

This is commonly the first destination of OC

because it is one of the most sulit climbs in

terms of the satisfaction to effort ratio. Let

me elaborate!

We left DLSU at around 8:00 am and got to

the jump off at around lunchtime. Beforewe started hiking, we first enjoyed the

flavors of local food at the base of the

mountain for a very reasonable price. After

some introductions, an icebreaker and

some stretching, we begun embarking on a

journey which for the first timers, was a great

tribulation.

"

Mountain PESTO PASTAYoull need:

!2 packs Clara Ole Cheesy Pesto!Pasta Sauce

!400-500 grams pasta

!1 tbsp olive oil

!1 tbsp chopped garlic

!2 cans tuna (in water/brine)

!Salt (to taste)

!Sliced olives, cashew nuts,

!Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Instructions:Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and

set aside. Drizzle olive oil in pan and

saut garlic. Add tuna and salt. Simmer

for a few minutes. Pour Clara Ole Cheesy

pesto sauce. Let it simmer for a few more

minutes. Pour over cooked pasta.

Some enjoyed the trail itself and the company

of fellow nature lovers while some cried on

the way to the summit. Some also enjoyed the

local ice candy that can be bought halfway

through the top. After about 4 hours, the tail

finally caught up with the rest of the group

where they were welcomed by the breath

taking view of the Anilao coastline, a few

islands, the faint silhouette of Mindoro and the

orange Sun, setting on the horizon. We could

feel the slow decline of temperature in the

mountain so we started setting camp and

preparing dinner. After which, we had an

amusing socials where the 40+ participants

got to know each other. We slept under the

clear view of the stars in the vastness MilkyWay. Fast forward. After enjoying the sunrise

and breakfast and after 3 hours of descent,

we finished off with a refreshing swim in the

clear waters of the beach at the foot of the

mountain. We showered and started heading

back to manila at around sunset were we

regained all the calories we have lost by

stuffing ourselves with unlimited rice at Mang

Inasals.

The trail, the beautiful view, the majestic

sunset, the wide campsite, the beach and of

course the company makes Gulugod Baboy

one of the most sulit trips of the year.

2. Eat a guava fruit straight from the tree.

3. Hear scary stories with a dusky jungle just

behind my back.

4. Trek barefoot through the mud.

5. Watch fireflies light the dark forest like fairies.

6. Stand under the chilly rain and notcare at all.

7. Lay my back on a big white rock and let the

mountain stream cleanse my mind.

8. Play like a kid again after such a long long time.

9. Spend a night with awesome people you only metless than 24 hours ago

10. As if you guys have been best friends since

forever.

What about you? When was the last time youve

done something new? A clich but really, you only

live once. So dont let go of chances, take risks, and

make this day a reason for you to use

those wordstogether.

Oh. And please make that eleven.

It was also my first time to become part

of a family formed over a single

weekend by such diverse people with

one passion in adventure.

A fulfilling and meaningful life is created

through service to others. I believe that doing

community service grounds my values and

morals, and helps me make the most of my life.

ASPIRE is a yearlong tie-up activity of 9

organizations, which Outdoor Club is part of. It

teaches students from Grade 1 to 3 subjects

such as Geography, Math, Science, Art, English

and Sports. This serves as a weekly tutorials

class to these kids, to practice what they

learned in school and raise their concerns,

especially those who have difficulty with their

subjects. We properly discussed to them the

lessons and gave them some advices to strive

more in their studies.

I am very much thankful that we were

given this kind of opportunity, a chance to

impart our knowledge and in return we

learned something from them. Personally, I

learned to extend my patience in every

activity we had because these kids are very much

energetic and are vulnerable to various distractions.

Besides, together with Kean, my co-project

head, we were able to handle three Larong Pinoy

sessions... For the first two sessions, we had patintero,

tumbang preso, luksong tinik, and a lot more. Ourmain goal here is to promote camaraderie, and

sportsmanship, and teamwork to these kids.

!1 can of corned beef

!3 spoons of Worcestershire Sauce

!Dried Pepper Flakes

!Oil

Instructions: Mix everything in a cooking pan and

cook.

Ta-da! Corned Beef, Outdoor Club Style!

They learned that

everyone deserves to be encouraged and

cheered on. We guided them to do their

best, have a positive outlook and take pride

in themselves and their actions. On the last

session, we brought them to Manila Zoo. The

warm smiles on their faces makes me feel

that indeed this whole ASPIRE experience is

priceless. To COSCA personnel, kids, parents,barangay officers and to all my co-

volunteers thank you for your time and effort

because without your constant support,

ASPIRE would not have been this successful.

Kudos Team!

Each of the activities focused on

developing the different skills of the

officers and cubs so that they could

harmoniously work together. Though

competitiveness in some of the

participants sparked a few issues in

the games we were able to push

through the setbacks by

communicating and addressing

each concern.

On top of the rigorous physical

activities, we also had more

emotional reflective sessions that

focused on personality-building and

friendship-bonding discussions. Our

group sharing activities gave us the

awesome opportunity to break

through each individuals shell and

get to know each other more. We

also had a talent show which was

one of the highlights of the

teambuilding!

Philip Sanctuarys relaxing natural

ambience, wild mudslides, and

round-trip zip lines capped off

another great teambuilding! Until

MOUNT BANOI

RETREAT CLIMBB Ste h Liao

When one hears the word retreat, it is usually associated with silence,

meditation, and prayer. What better place can you hold a retreat than in the

mountains? Last October 6-7, 2012, DLSU had its first ever retreat climb in Mt.

Banoi, Laguna. Coincidentally, this was also OCs exploratory climb to the said

mountain, marking two firsts for the organization. Mt. Banoi was the chosen

venue for this event due to it being less congested compared to other more

popular mountains such as Mt. Maculot or Mt. Gulugod Baboy. No one really

knew what to expect from the retreat, and what was in store for the

participants.

There were ten participants for the

climb, mostly officers of DLSU OC.

Two members from LSPO

accompanied us, as theyfacilitated the retreat. Having this

intimate group suited the

objectives of this event, it would

help preserve the solemnity of the

retreat.

15


20/43


Since none of the us have been to

this mountain, we only relied on

research, and what locals said

about the trail. Some were nervous,

others were excited. According to

the locals, an estimated time of 3-4

hours would suffice to reach the

summit. But for Outdoor Club, it

took a grueling 5 hours of walking,

trekking and hiking to finally

conquer Mt. Banoi. By the time we

arrived at the campsite, we were

greeted by the setting sun andwere awed at natures beauty.

The view at the top was

breathtaking. Mt. Banoi truly

suited this retreat climb, as there

were no other hikers in sight. Only

peace, serenity and calmnessaccompanied the group that

weekend. Instead of the usual

socials we do during OC hikes,

we reflected and shared stories

led by the LSPO representatives.

As all of us hiked down the next

day, we not only gained new

memories, but also insight,

wisdom and lessons which can

only be found in this type of

experience Outdoor Club can

offer.

Mt.

ManabuClimb

By Kenneth Ramos

There are mountains that are tough for a hike and there are mountains that are a breeze

for a hike as well. Mt. Manabu is part of the latter. The difficultys only set at 2/9 with a trail

class of 1-2; this minor climb is a great way to introduce beginners to mountaineering. The

trails short, although muddy (and we really mean muddy so expect a lot of slipping or

sliding whichever happens to you first). Its a good thing that the house near the jump-off

offers to clean your shoes for 10 pesos. Not bad since they also have shower rooms for

you to cleanse yourself after the hike. One of the main attractions of Mount Manabu

would be Mang Piryings hut who sells kapeng barako to the hikers along the trail. Whats

great about Mang Pirying is that hes so friendly to the

hikers with the way he talks like hes been your neighbour

for decades. The summit is

nice since theres a big

white cross on it. Mount

Manabu is a fun place for

a hike and if we ever get a

chance to go back there,

we could give Mang Pirying

a tarp since hes awesome.

THE SURFVIVOR SERIESZambales Baler La Union

Stoked. Pure awesomeness.

Surfing at The Circle

Hostel, ZAMBALESSurfvivor 1 by Steph Liao

Zambales, the most convenient place for sun, sand and,

most importantly, surf!

A mere 3hour bus ride from Manila, Zambales has always

been DLSU Outdoor Club's go-to surf spot. Its the first surf

trip of the year and everyone was stoked. We left Manila

bright and early to make the most of our surf weekend.

We stayed at The Circle Hostel, a totally new experience

for us. Even though there was a bit of rain, we headed

directly to the beach after dropping off our stuff at the

hostel. We swam and surfed to our hearts' content. Weslept in hammocks instead of beds. The sway lulled us to

sleep after a long day of riding the waves.

BALER with ENGLICOM

Surfvivor 2

Some say they are young, wild, and freeI say: We are

young, wild, and stoked!

Its true when people say a lot of things could happen in a

year but believe me when I say more than a lotcould

happen in a matter of 48 hours.

DLSU South Gate, 10 PM. That was where it all started. We

were all cranky about how hot it was. Little did we know an

epic adventure was just ahead of us.

By 11 PM, we were off to catch a 12 midnight bus toCabanatuan City. After a jeep ride, walking down the eerie

streets of Manila, and a serious mad highway crossing, we

finally reached Pasay Bus Terminal only to find out the first

trip to Nueva Ecija wont be until 2 in the morning. (I wasnt

kidding when I said epic adventure).Nobody was patient

enough to wait for two hours so we decided to take a bus to

Cubao Bus Terminal. Luckily, we were able to get an early

trip. At 3:30 AM, a starry sky welcomed us to Santa Rosa,

Nueva Ecija.

After another 4 hours of travel via private vans (and a 40-peso breakfast at the Rolling Stores. Im talking legit food

here, guys. Kanin and ulam. 40 pesos. Legit.), we finally

reached Aliya Surf Camp. FINALLY. Hello, Baler!

With no sleep, we were off to a day full of uncertaintyand

excitement. First on the list: River Trekking.

A mini race between 9 tricycles brought us to the start of our

trek! Of course, we didnt fail to cheer on our Kuya Tric

drivers!

It was a 30-minute trek to Balers Mother Falls. Yup. Short

amount of time. But try stepping on big slippery stones and

crossing a raging thigh-high river

25/43


Thought youd like to know ! But anyway, We all sighed

when we reached the end. No, not because of exhaustion.

It was because the sight was pure magic done by nature. A

place from another world greeted us, Welcome, children!

Oh! And nothing beats an ice-cold dip in the water under

the blazing sun! Two thumbs up.

It was already past lunchtime when we got back to the surf

camp. We were all hungry from the trek and the long bumpy

tricycle ride but it was nothing after experiencing the beauty

of Ditumabo Falls. *insert another sigh here*

Too bad we werent able to surf that afternoon because the

waves were too big. But that didnt stop us from having

fun. Who said you can only catch waves on a surfboard?

It wasnt long until the skies started to dim. With growling

tummies (filled with seawater), we braved the pitch-black

beach to have dinner at Bayler Restaurant. It was a buffet of

good food, stories, and laughter.

Sunday morning (rain wasnt falling)came and the waveswere perfect for beginners like us. And I have to say, its true

when they say that every ride is a different experience.

We had lunch at a local restaurant and seriously, nothing

could beat a 150-peso lunch buffet after a morning of

paddling and riding waves.

Hours later, we were all packed up. But no one was ready to

leave yet. The place was wonderful. It was awesome. It was

love. But like they say any place is just as good as the

people youre with.

We might have welcomed our Monday mornings with sore

bodies and tan faces but with all the happy memories that

weve earned form that short amount of time, I would never

think twice about having the same exact weekend all over

again.

LA UNION with YES

Surfvivor 3By Steph Liao

La Union was the last destination in our Surfvivor series

this academic year, it was also our first ever tie-up with

DLSU YES (Young Entrepreneurs Society).

We left Manila at 2:30 in the morning and after a 7-hour

bus ride we finally reached San Juan, La Union!

The weather was great, the sun was out; you could

hear the waves and smell the ocean. Everyone was

excited to surf so we dropped off our stuff at The CircleHostel, got changed for the beach and off we went!

We surfed in batches and explored the beach. Wesubmerged ourselves in surfer culture where the goal

was to catch as many waves and make as many

friends as you can. We laughed, surfed, played, talked

and bonded while basking in the glory of the sun and

the enchanting beauty of our surroundings. On this trip,

there was no such thing as strangers.

We were unanimous in deciding that we were inheaven that weekend. From the proud sunrises to the

romantic sunsets, the melodic crash of waves and the

silent calm of the ocean, it all became one with us. Our

senses reveled in the glory of Mother Nature. There

were no worries and we couldnt imagine ever havingany ever again. As long as there was sun, sand, surf,

and food, we were happy.

Also, it was such a great opportunity for the participants

of both organizations because we were able to meetand bond with the owners of The Circle Hostel, Ziggieand Raf who were not only entrepreneurs but also

surfers themselves! They are living proof that doing what

you love will not only make you successful, but more

importantly, it will make you happy.

This activity accomplished more than just uniting thetwo organizations, or getting people interested in

surfing. We brought them to paradise.

NO BOUNDARIESTHE DLSU x ADMU

2NDANNUAL

FRIENDSHIP CLIMB

By Jason Sim

The 2ndannual DLSU Outdoor Club

and Loyola Mountaineers Friendship Climb was

held at Mt Pulag, Benguet. Composed of 20 participants

from both organizations, we climbed the highest peak in Luzon with great

camaraderie and learned a lot from the experiences of both parties. The

adventure started with a 6-hour bus ride from Cubao to Baguio then

followed by a 2 hour jeep ride to the jump-off

of Mt Pulag. Regardless of the long and

bumpy rides, fun and excitement never left

the group as it served as the official get to

know and bonding time of the two

organizations. After lunch, we started to hike

up via Ambangeg Trail., destination: Akiki

Campsite. Groups were formed with 3 members

from both organizations to ensure that no one

will be separated fro the group.

Loyola Mountaineers held their 2ndAnnua

Friendship Climb last November 23 25, 2012?

28/43


The majestic Mt. Pulag was the

perfect venue for the friendship climb for its

scenery and beauty. Mt. Pulag really brings

you to the playground of the gods andurges you to experience the sea of clouds

that would welcome you upon reaching the

summit. The temperature and weather was

great! Although not as cold as the -4 degree

temperature of the 1st annual friendship

climb, we experienced a perfect 10-degree

temperature which allowed us to socialize

with each other and share stories, pictures

and insights. Mt. Pulag really is one of the

most wonderful spots in the Philippines and is

much recommended for all hikers from

beginners to experts! Experience Mt. Pulags

sea of clouds and your perspective in life

would definitely change knowing that you

were among the clouds that you could only

ever dream of being above before.

like things simple. You may have to have a

to-do list but you're also flexible. And most of

all, you believe in the strength that you

possess.

MAGICAL MYSTICAL

CRISTOBAL

The lloweenClimb

It was my third time to climb the

Devils Mountain. I was already

bracing myself for the steep trail andslightly-horror-movie-esque-

surroundings the week before the hike.

To my surprise, at 8am on the awaited

day, there were a large number of OC

members (32 according to the GALS)

smiling and excitedly anticipating our

departure, and another group of 12

would be following in the evening. All Icould think was, tonight, we dine in

hell.

We all got on the bus until we reached

San Pablo, where 2 jeepneys and

Kuya Christian (our regular guide on

Cristobal trips) awaited us. We hopped

onto the jeeps and the drive began.

We bonded on the jeepneys, bonding

and playing games. Finally, we were

at the dropped off at the jump off...

NOT. It was the spiraling cement road

that would lead to the jump off.

No Mess Bag-o-OmeletYoull need:

!Eggs

!Salt

!Bacon/Ham/Cheese

!In short, anything you want in

your omelet!

!Ziploc Sandwich Bags

!Pot for Boiling Water

Instructions:

Scramble eggs and pour into a Ziploc bag. Add all

desired extras (salt,ham,cheese,etc) + 1 tsp of

water. Seal completely, ensuring that all air isremoved from the bag. Gently shake to mix

everything. Drop the bag into the pot of boiling

water. Check eggs and remove when eggs appear

to be done.

So we endured the light rain and powered

through. We were exhausted before we even

started, but we are strong! We trekked for

6hours through sporadic rain and steep

slippery trails as scary woods surrounded us.

Hours of challenging terrain, until we finally

reached the campsite. It was the first time we

were camping in the crater so it was a new

experience for me.

We set up camp and the temperature

began to drop. We bundled ourselves in

jackets and whatever else we could block

the cold with and it was finally cooking

dinner time! Carbonara! Pork sinigang! Rice!

We laughed and talked and gathered

around as some of us cooked. We then ate

until we were full then we sought shelter from

the rain into our tents.

As the night went on the rain poured and our tents began to flood, we sought for sleep

and worried for our friends that were hiking the mountain in the storm.

What is that sound? It is our companions! Oh, let us rejoice! They have arrived safe and wet

and with MORE FOOD. We ate a bit and slept in the lakes that used to be our tents.

As soon as there was daylight, we got up and packing while we shivered in our wet

clothes. The rain still persisted but we decided there was a greater chance of getting

warm at the jump off than at the campsite. Lo and behold, as we descended, the rain

started to let up and the sun started smiling upon us. By the time we got to the jump off,

we were sufficiently dry and extremely exhausted.

It was quite the experience for everyone. A challenge we overcame together. It

strengthened our bond and reminded us good mountaineers are prepared for everything!

Can Do!English translation:

Anawangin Outdoor

Photography with MOO MEDIA

Twas a weekend worth remembering and

undeniably an adventure like no other! A

November weekend full of fun, chill and

excitement on another part of the Z land

you should have not missed!

On a remote and secluded island, with no

electricity and hundreds of kilometersaway from the city, 28 people were

captivated by Outdoor Club and

MooMedia on November 10-11, 2012 at

Anawangin, Zambales. This is the first tie-up

of Outdoor Club and MooMedia featuring

Outdoor Photography.

MooMedias guest speaker, Mr. Aldrich Lim,

a freelance photographer and a graduate

of De La Salle College of Saint Benilde,

taught us the basics of Photography

outdoors and showed some tips and tricks

on how to have a great picture using any

camera and how to have a splendid

capture of any scenery.

We were truly mesmerized by the

awaiting and breath-taking beauty of the

crescent-shaped island of Anawangin

Cove. We also enjoyed the crystal waters

and pristine sands of Anawangin like itwas already summer.

Unexpected and unwanted spontaneous

events sometimes occur, especially when

you are outdoors. We werent able to go

to the cave near the cove (because it

was far beyond the coast), climb the hill

(because there had been barricades

before the hill), and visit the 222-year-old

Faro de Punta Capones (Capones

Lighthouse because it was low tide that

afternoon when we went there). We went

the bone-shaped Capones Island the

following day. The locals said that it will

take 4 hours to climb the mountain going

to the lighthouse, so we continued our

beach-ing on that island instead.

But nonetheless, we were awed by the

clear skies, beautiful sunset, countless

stars, and continuous meteor shower;

refreshed by the breeze of the cool wind,

porous sand of the beach, alluring splash

of the waves, and green pine trees of

nature; enjoyed the beach want-to-sawa

and especially, had a very good time

with each others company during the

whole trip. We played card games underthe dark with just headlights, ate liempo

with minerals (if you know what I mean),

and gained new friends. We also shared

stories by the beach and another around

the bonfire, and some of us even leaped

over the bonfire. We really felt trouble-free

- like were on vacation.
