opening the year with an adventure tandem with the country's most innovated adventure tour group Travel Factor and the efficient and reliable Victory Liner. this time to trek Luzon's highest peak Mt. Pulag on the coldest month. it's just three days before we leave and this has been one of my most anticipated trek this quarter.
what i look forward to:
- new friends on trail
- camping out at Luzon's highest summit
- the thrill of the trail
- to celebrate my fifth year in travel blogging via eskapo
something new:
just last month, i noticed that Travel Factor has released an IOS app and i immediately downloaded it. the app will serve travelers to access tour packages and important information which includes Byaheng Victory trips. one can download it for free over Apple App Store. two thumbs up to Travel Factor!
Byaheng Victory is a series of group adventures showcasing some of the most awe-inspiring North Luzon destination reached by Victory Liner, the Philippines' premiere bus transportation company.
Through a partnership with Travel Factor, the country's leading adventure travel company, Byaheng Victory brings to life trips that combine the excitement of exploring North Luzon treasures and the highest level of comfort and safety that comes with every Victory Liner bus ride. For the oncoming travel season (November - May), they will be doing tours to Mt. Pulag, Mt. Pinatubo, Sagada, Kalinga, Pangasinan and Zambales. They will also be doing special trips like food tours and Visita Iglesia in Pampanga.
this trip is sponsored by Travel Factor in collaboration with Victory Liner for Byaheng Victory. for more information you check out Byaheng Victory website and follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Good luck!!! January rin nung naghike kami diyan na -4 degrees celsius sa summit at wala kaming nakitang sea of clouds dahil sa lamig. Kailangan kong bumalik. Will look forward to your post. :)

Happy New Year dom! Mush as i would like to be there and trek with you, di ko ata kaya ang mga ganyang bagay, haha. Being contained in the four corners of my office also leaves me some space to go around in the world, the books carry me! To new adventures for Eskapo! Cheers!

happy new year!
>Micamyx, oo nga. wala tayong trip na magkasama last year.
One factor that I dont have that enthusiasm to climb a peak is because of fear of height. besides, my schedule being a family man. Ampo lang jud nga maka laag jud dom. hehehe.
I'm so inspired by all your travels! I like all the pictures, as usual. Wala bang Androip version yun Travel Factor app? I checked their website. Maybe, I'll just visit na lang their site often to check out itineraries. Thanks for posting this, Dong.
Happy New Year!
Ayos. I will download this. Thanks for sharing, Idol.
Happy New Year!
Nice to kick start the year on your own two legs. I'd like to climb Pulag again - hopefully on the Akiki trail :)
Can't wait to see your pictures.
This is a great way to start 2013 Sir. Hope I can able to climb Mt.Pulag in the future.
Did you take the Akiki "Killer" trail? View on that trail is awesome! If given a chance/and if my sched. permits, I will climb this "playground of the gods" again.
Anyway, thanks for sharing info re: Travel Factor app. I downloaded it just now after reading this post. I hope I can book on one of their amazing adventures.
Thanks again!
happy 5th blog anniversary to eskapo and you, dom! :D
wow! what an awesome way to start the year right! The apps looks great, I'll definitely download it and hope to climb Mt Pulag with TF too!
someday, aakyat ulit ako ng bundok... someday.
