๐ข๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Hiking at Bantay Kalbo is temporarily discouraged while site preparation and development are still ongoing.
Nais po naming ipabatid na ang lugar ay hindi pa tourism-ready.

Kamakailan lamang, may mga kabataan na nagtangkang mag-hike sa lugar. Dahil sa kawalan ng established trail, proper guidance, at sapat na preparasyon, sila ay nahirapan at kinailangan pang i-rescue. Mabuti na lamang po at sila ay agad na natulungan at ligtas na naibalik.
This incident highlights the importance of ensuring that all safety measures are in place before opening the area to the public. Recently, together with LGU personnel, we personally visited and ascended Bantay Kalbo to conduct an initial site assessment. Based on this, we have noted the following observations:
โ ๏ธ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐:
๐ Wala pang established at safe hiking trail
๐ Wala pang trained tour guides or official guiding system

๐ Challenging and potentially risky terrain, especially for unprepared hikers
๐ ๏ธ ๐ข๐ก๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ ๐๐ก๐๐๐จ๐๐:
๐ Proper trail development and mapping
๐ Training of local guides with safety and basic life support knowledge
๐ Environmental protection measures (Leave No Trace policy)
๐ Emergency and rescue system planning and coordination
We recognize the strong interest and excitement of the public, especially with previous visits shared online. However, it is important to emphasize that tourism readiness requires careful planning, safety assurance, and proper infrastructure before opening any site.
