Mama and I have been meaning to trek this part of her hometown late last year but we were warned on how bad it could get to go into the mountains during storm season. We decided to hold off until the start of the summer and so did we!
Amaga is a sitio in the northwestern side of Guihulngan City. My 90-year old lola has a wide area of land handed down from her side of the family and one of our relatives has decided to use it for agriculture.
It's a 25-minute travel by habal-habal from the city proper but you won't be able to get into the sitio without trekking for another 30 minutes or so.
By the way, I have a very crappy video and another set of low-quality photos in this blog.

My aunt said they used to do this game when they were little. I call it "coconut sledding". Heheh.
Wild strawberries found along our trek
The hills are alive! Definitely a Maria moment without the costume.
There are no decent roads along the mountains. So you have to make sure you 'incline' yourself properly while climbing up.
