There was a concrete road built in the steepest section of the climb, however, between there and Bucari the road was in terrible condition and only navigable by Jeepneys outfitted with chains. Mud ruts were as deep as my bike is tall - 1 meter. It is a real shame that one of prettiest places in the Vasayas is serviced by impassable mud soaked rutted roads.

Concomitant with this is a spa resort being constructed a sitio Bacolod with phase 1 well on the way...ecotourism and vegetable organic farming are being planned with the community as prime mover and participant...that means conceptually, it is envisioned that every resident will be putting up rooms and bathrooms for guests pretty much like communities around the great wall of china. Not that tourists in the droves are welcomed....far from it...only responsible environmentally conscious tourists will be embraced...please, no carpetbagging entrepreneur with no respect for the environment...we want buildings that are solar powered and blends right into the environment....the waterfall section has recovered and waters are raging however the sitio of Camandag has to come up with regulation on the communities and the bible school students that freely wash their food and clothes directly to the pools and streams...that has to stop. Water can be diverted to their facilites...heaven only knows where they relieve and defecate. There's a lot of potential in the area for eco-tourism...it is still more pristine than Baguio, and you don't see old growth pine trees in Salvador Benedicto and Guintubhan in Negros though the temperature are similar.

Based on the last two pictures, the mountain area is still deforested. It would be nice (or even admirable) if that area is planted with more NATIVE tree species. If we could increase the forest cover, recovery would be faster and the ecosystem becomes more resilient to disasters. Let's not just leave nature alone, give a helping hand. Just wanted to share my thought. As to what I know as an environmental scientist, it will probably take more than a couple of years (at a minimum) for the place to recover.
