Mission

Staring at the tall mountain I usually speak of on sight, I decided that one day I would be able to climb the mountain that brought most of my family's troubles and poverty, Looking at mount Pinatubo as the clouds passed by it's high peak, I thought to myself, That would be one hell of a climb, I was once at it's foot, I gazed at it as the water's from Tarlac flowed past my feet.

I have always dreamed of getting to it's top, I was not contented in being before it, The top looked like a long way up, and it would take few factors to push me right down. For a Volcano that erupted so violently in 1991, it looked like such a peaceful place to stay and die.

I thought of the Aeta's way of life and how they lived there back when it was still known as the virgin forest, to think such a peaceful place would become so violent, only to be appeased by the hundreds of soul's it claimed, over the past decades my family farmed the land the volcano destroyed in minutes of it's eruption.

Looking at it from afar, I thought i was taking glimpses and glances of what was once a haven for Aetas, and at the same time, a Fiend that took away and stripped people of their loved ones and property, Before looking away, I told myself that my last breath will not come unless I've reached the top of the feared mountain.
