English Photo Essay

Vba group 5 from Michael Vincent Giron

Religion

We are asked to explain and talk about the different landmarks found in Mt. Banahaw. 

• The river behind Vincent Giron is said to be the place where people who dip in it get cleansed. It is as if being baptized again, here we are gathered around the river and simultaneously dip ourselves. Belief says that if a person dips in the cold water, his/her personal sins are forgiven. 

• This stone marks our adventure towards Mt. Banahaw. This is the place called "The Gates of Heaven". There are two large stones apart from each other resembling gates. From the photo above half of a face is seen, beliefs say that it is the face of Jesus Christ, always there to guide and protect us. 

• The Book of Life, these are wide stones located in Mt. Banahaw. These stones represents the book of St. Peter which contains names of those who are to enter heaven, Common beliefs here says that if you write your name on it, you are assured of being in paradise or heaven. 

• The photo above shows the Blessed Virgin Mary inside the resting place where we had our lunch after the very tiring path we took inside the Husgado cave. The Husgado cave serves as a challenge for those who want their sins to be forgiven for a span of 7 years. The cave is very narrow making it very hard for us to move through it. The scratches present on our bodies shows how sinful we are, these are what the common belief says there. 

• Finally the last station in our adventure at Mt. Banahaw is the Kalbaryo (Calvary). The photo shows crosses on top the mountain, these represents the sacrifice of the people determined to get their sins be forgiven. True devotees bring a rock with them which will serve as a challenge for the them and will then leave it near the cross.  

Computer 

Creating a blogsite is the task given to us by our Computer 10 teacher, Mr. Aventino. In this blogsite we are to post different projects related to our Outbound Trip at Mt. Banahaw, Dolores, Quezon. These projects serves as requirements for us seniors this 3rd quarter.  

Trigonometry 

We were asked by our Trigonometry teacher, Mr. Eric De Guzman, to measure the distance covered beginning from our school (Marist) up to our first stop over. Next is to measure the distance covered from the first stop over up to the site of our outbound trip (Dolores, Quezon). From the site of our outbound trip up to the place of our second stop over on the way home, and lastly from there up until we get back to our school.

Marist School to first stop over:

41, 400 meters 

First stop over to Dolores, Quezon:

74, 900 meters

Dolores Quezon to Second stop over on the way home:

74, 000 meters 

Second stop over to Marist School:

43, 700 meters

The next thing we are instructed to do is to count the number of steps of the stairs descending to the river. 

Having the difficulty to walk and count, the outbound educators said to us that the steps from above is 269.

When I myself took the challenge to count the steps, the result of mine was only 247 steps which was almost near to the real number of steps. 

The last part of our project is also about measuring. Now we are to measure the time that took us to get out of the husgado cave. Based on our record, the time we spent upon entrance until exit of the cave was about 28-35 minutes.

BANAHAW: Ang Makasaysayang Bundok

Ang bundok banahaw, isang tunay na maipagmamalaking bundok na matatagpuan sa Dolores, Quezon. Hindi lamang ito nagsisilbing puntahan ng mga deboto ngunit bilang isang tirahan rin ng lipon ng mga tao na kung tawagi'y mga "Rizalista". Ang mga Rizalista ay may di pangkaraniwang paniniwala, hindi tulad nating mga kristiyano na naniniwala kay Hesus bilang Messiah, sila naman ay naniniwalang si Jose Rizal ang kumakatawan sa muling pagkabuhay ni Hesus kaya't ganoon na lamang ang respeto nila sa kanya.

Ang mga Rizalista ay nagbuklod-buklod at nagtayo ng iba't-ibang pamayanan sa paligid ng Banahaw, isa sa aming napuntahan ay ang Ciudad Mistica de Dios. Sa loob ng pamayanang ito matatagpuan ang isang di pangkaraniwang klase ng simbahan, sapagkat sa loob nito'y, imbis na si Hesus ang makikita natin si Jose Rizal ang sentro nito. Kakikitaan din ito ng isang kamangha-manghang kaalaman tungkol sa kanila, dito mayroon silang ibang grupo ng mga disipulong pinaniniwalaan nilang naging katulong ni Jose Rizal. (Ilan sa kanila ay sina Melchora Aquino, Apolinario Mabini, Andres Bonifacio, atbp.)

Ayon naman sa aming mga nakalap na impormasyon tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Ciudad Mistica de Dios, ito raw ay itinaguyod ni Maria Bernarda Balitaan noong 1873. Bilang pagbibigay pugay sa lahat ng ginawa ni Maria Bernarda Balitaan, itinuring na siyang isang santo ng mga namamalagi sa Ciudad Mistica de Dios. Halos lahat ng namumuno sa Ciudad Mistica de Dios ay mga kababaihan.

Ang mga mamamayan ng Banahaw ay may simpleng klase ng pamumuhay lamang, mula sa paggabay sa mga turistang nais umakyat ng bundok pagbebenta ng mga souvenir hanggang sa mga pangkaraniwang uri ng pamumuhay sa isang nayon/probinsya kung saan ang mga tao'y nagtatanim ng iba't-ibang mga gulay, prutas at palay. Nakatutuwang malaman na kahit ganoon lamang ang kanilang pamumuhay sila ay palaging masaya at payapang namamalagi sa bundok Banahaw at patuloy itong pinangangalagaan.
