This is where all of my mountaineering adventure started.
Year 2010.When i was in College taking Literature Subject. My professor decided to have our class make an Indie Film. Class was divided into two groups and I am the leader of the 2nd group. We had come up with an idea of "Aswang Aswang Film" and we entitled it "Takas"- inspired by our stage play in Tanghalang Gintong Lahi when i was still an active member of the said theater. The story line was made by my theater mate Krista. There were few scenes that we needed to shoot in the forest and there was a falls scene where the " Aswang" does their rituals.
A coincidence happened. A friend of mine "Carlos Yao" invited me to come with him for a nature tripping. He said he will bring me to a falls.. It was really a good timing because of the film that we were doing back then. I had immediately informed my actors to pack their stuff because we will go to Mt. Balagbag in Rodriguez Rizal for our shooting. Everybody was excited. We left at 6:00am from Malabon.
