Nature Unmasked!

You can never say you have witnessed the true beauty of Ormoc if you will never visit the stunning Lake Danao.

Bonus! The National Schools Press Conference was already jam-packed that having a tour with nature is a plus!

The day after my event took place, the whole Davao Oriental family of delegates grabbed the time to relax with the grandeur and ecstasy Ormoc can offer - and it was none other than visiting the famed Lake Danao, where lush virginal rainforests are living quietly.

The visitation was super-sulit for we can really feel the ambiance that nature is conjuring - heartwarming cold breeze of fresh air. The sidetrip was unimaginable. As I observe the vast trees that surround the landlocked body of water, I somehow forgot that Ormoc was hit by a great typhoon some 20 years ago. It was as though these yamang lupa wasn't harmed at all because the entire area was absolutely intact.

Exhilaration! Thus the only word I remember when we started crossing the water to get a clearer view of the superb scenery. Amazing were the diverse species of trees and flowers situated within the forests. As I get a view with the pine trees, it felt like I was already at the City of Pines itself - astounding!

But what's the most important part of the travel to the lake was that the preservation and care of the people there was secure - something I would want Cateel's wealthy wildlife to have now that it is in the brink of danger after the aftermath 'Pablo' has left.
