Cordillera: One For The Road

Before working as a volunteer in Maldives, I took the chance to explore the Cordilleras as a backpacker, without any specific itinerary other than to visit Banaue, Batad, and Sagada for the first time.

More than just being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this mountainous region in Northern Luzon promises a journey where the wonders of nature blend perfectly with the living culture of its indigenous people.

The complete story of that milestone journey, IN THE CRADLE OF CORDILLERAS appeared in Manila Bulletin on Nov.25, 2012.
