From the highways of Pampanga, one can hardly
resist the tempting splendor of Mt. Arayat. The 1,026 meter high mountain is known
to be an extinct volcano. It has no eruption record.
Another unguided solo climb. Due to rebel
infestation, I decided not to push through my planned Mt. Arayat trek but a
day-stay in Luzon is a sheer waste without doing any adventure.
