Postcards from Mt. Ulap

Here is my doll I chose to name "Ulap". She is one of the Cordilleran dolls, Ate Jac started to put up for her studio. She has different dolls that would suit your personality. Her dolls are both for the young and the young at heart (like me). My Ulap had several adventures already (but mostly within Cordillera- as this is the place where I work).  In these pictures, my husband took Ulap for me (he's soooo kind to take my doll. Really). They took a hike up the real Mt. Ulap and took pictures of her. Ulap with Auntie Lola  with the wacky pose (we didn't get Lola's name)  Going up Sta.

Aakyat ka ba ng Mt. Ulap Bes? FYI, mayroong inilabas na memo ang lokal ng Ampucao na hiking schedule will only be limited to 150 pax per weekday and 500 pax on weekends. Ito ay para maiwasan ang sobrang dami ng hikers na nangyari noong unang week ng January 2017. Jusme, pati mga van na nakapila sa kalsada, hindi magkandaugaga sa tabi.. Napakakipot na nga lang ng kalsada, naging one way pa dahil sa kanila. Source: Alex Marquez of Team Ulikba Eto pa, pagkatapos magshower, manatili sa sidewalk at nang hindi masagasaan. Juicecolored, hindi ito extension ng inyong banyo. Moving forward, sana i-observe natin ang kalinisan. Una, sa may barangay hall, pangalawa, sa trail paakyat, pangatlo, sa tuktok ng Ulap, sa pagbaba at sa Sta. Fe (oo, dun sa may tulay kung saan pwedeng magshower). Sana hindi matulad sa Mt. Pulag itong si Mt. Ulap na kinailangan pang isara para ma-rehab. Alagaan natin ang Mt. Ulap. Pleeeeeeeeaaaase.
