Trekking in Bukidnon Provincial Tree

Located right at the heart of Bukidnon- Malaybalay City. This is the one place wherein almost all of the locals had already climbed up to. The park is located only at the rear side of the Provincial Capitol Grounds. Down below, when you’re just unwinding at the Capitol grounds, looking anywhere, you will be able to see the hill on top which has a 2 noticeable very long pine trees. Later on, locals named the hill as “Two Trees”.

The hill is very easy to climb. You need not to be an expert mountaineer since going up the hill already has a trail which is located just at the back of the Kaamulan Park. The hike going on top of the hill is most likely to be finished at about 45 minutes or less depending on how fast or slow you can be. Although at times it would really make you slow on pace when the trail is wet from rain. Going to the top is never dull or boring especially if you are a nature lover since you can pass through those fine and lush foliage of the tree park.

Innocence of a Child

“Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul.”

Francis Thompson quotes (English Poet and Writer, 1859-1907)

The Child Beggars of Philippines

Child beggars, we see them in major bus stops, mall parking areas and even in the busy streets, 3 years old and above, hanging to your hand, pants or skirt, pleads for money, says something, like “palimus po”. Sometimes we give them 1 peso or often times we simply just ignore and totally avoid them. What we do not understand, is that we have a society that has completely damaged the physical and emotional condition of the little child.

The child is pushed by his mother to fend for him/herself, refusing to give the child love and protection. Even the mother hens protects their little ones, why some human beings cannot? When a child gets a peso from you, he will feel that he cannot get anything in life, only to ask for it. (mental slavery). When the child gets rejected by you, he will feel embarrassed and will suffer emotional breakdown, feeling to him/herself that she is not wanted and feel less human, this is why some develop habits of rudeness to block this sentiment.
