Mountaineers from all over the country will be organizing the biggest celebration of Independence Day for Mountaineers and cleanup / tree planting operation done simultaneously. This is where groups and individuals from different walks will gather and unite as one for this occasion. The 1st. Annual Freedom Climb is a tribute climb to our fallen heroes in commemoration of their struggle and gallantry to fight for our freedom. This kind of event has never been done before and what motivates us from achieving this is our passion for the sport. Our mountains played a major role during the war. Basically, it provided them refuge which gave them strategic advantage over their enemies. As Mountaineers, we are taking this opportunity to celebrate Independence Day and bring it right where the action is during the war.
The plan is to simultaneously raise the Philippine Flag on The 13th of June at exactly 8:00am. There will be 40 mountain summits, 40 contingents composed of different mountaineering organizations, 40 flags and 30 photos to be included in the Mountaineering Photo Exhibit This July-August. This will also serve as a unifying cause for mountaineers to work together in promoting environmental awareness. The event includes a Freedom Climb Commemorative T-Shirt. Registration is P350 per individual inclusive of the shirt and the event ID.
What a great endeavor for the Pinoy mountaineers and to all the Filipino people!
