| Mt. Mayon Aerial view |
Mt. Manunggal is situated in Brgy. Magsaysay, Balamban in the Queen City of the South - Cebu. Elevation is measured at 1003 Meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in Central Cebu. This is where Mt. Pinatubo, the presidential plane carrying former President Ramon Magsaysay along his 26 crews/staff, crashed and brought them to their untimely death on 17 March 1957 with only one survivor.

| Engine of C-47 plane |
We arrived at exactly 7 a.m. at the Mactan International Airport. We were welcomed by Master Luz and friends, and immediately hit the road going to Balamban. There are different trails to reach Mt. Manunggal, but due to limited time, we chose the easiest trail. We hiked through
the established tourist trail towards the peak of Mt. Manunggal. We saw
the actual spot where the plane crashed, the engine etched in the area serving as its marker. Another
cemented wall was constructed with a “marble plate” where the names of
the 27 passengers of Mt Pinatubo are engraved.  |

After 15 minutes of trekking, we reached the Marker of President Ramon Magsaysay. We rest a bit, took pictures and enjoy the scenery. The climb also served as a Birthday Climb for Felix, Luz and Ronfel. It was a great experience visiting this historical site. Afterwards, we then headed to the city for our lunch.

| Rico's Lechon |
We traveled two hours on a zigzag road heading back to city. We reached Rico's lechon around 1:30PM. It took us a long while to get enough seats for everyone, but it's worth the wait - Cebu Lechon! After resting, we headed to Lilo-an, Cebu to visit Bagacay Lighthouse. Then we headed to Sampaguita Suite.
