Top 7 things you must to do in gold mountain or Mt. Diwata or Diwalwal of Monkayo Comval

-

After I was back my trip from Thailand, I promise myself to see myself the called gold mountain of my town. Very ironic to never visit this called mountain that I was even born in poblacion monkayo which is its like 3-4 hours away from this mountain that producing gold.

Let's talk first what is this mountain all about by wiki.

Mt. Diwata or Diwalwal ot gold mountain is one of the largest source of gold in the Philippines. It was named Diwata or in English its like fairy because of its ability to produce gold and at the same time taking peoples lives. According to one of the resident in this gold mountain once there is landslide and people died , this mountain is abundant of gold , thus most man risk their lives getting inside of this mountain to get some golds and will help them to earn as they think better than a regular job.


It may sound creepy a bit at first bcs I did my research first before second myself to visit this mountain.

I can still remember there was a day like 8 years ago, I joined an essay contest and the question is about this mountain and since I never been in this mountain before , all I wrote was the opposite as I described it.

Lucky me one of my moms hired person to take in charge of us little, lived in this island. She once visited in our house and when I talked to her she makes me believe that I am safe to visit this mountain. Because of her I made it to see this called gold mountain.

By the way she is now big time in that mountain so I can't mention her name but I'm really thankful for having a good stay when I stay there! Merci unni :)

So here's the top 7 things you must to see or check or do in gold mountain!


1. ) enjoy the bumpy rocky road!
- it may be rocky, slippery , the other side is a big nowhere cliff! But do not forget to have faith that everything will be alright! Relax! You'll get to the top when you won't give up! Enjoy the view while getting to the top by a single motor! It takes tmx or single motor to get here especially if rainy days due to slippery and very stiff of road.

2. The lights from the houses at night looks
like stars in the heaven.
- in the morning it looks like mess but its true that everything has a beautiful side and you can really see it at night while enjoying the cold breeze to be here!!

3. Don't get inside the tunnel if you don't want to die!
- its funny I state it like that. But its true that once you let yourself get inside in the tunnel you know if you are still alive to come out due to some bar down accidents. Others call it, the mountain gets the pay. But others still have courage bcs of poverty  they believe that this is the fast way to lift the life from poverty to good life.

4. U call it dirty but they call it food!
- it melts my heart to see this boy in the unclear water. When I ask him what is he doing, he said he's looking some stones or rocks that may contain gold that left that he can sell for food.

5. Check the gold by yourself!
- lucky me I was with my unni to sell her gold produced to this store . this store will be the distributor to the malls and other jewelry shop in some town or cities they calk it buyer of gold.

6. Omg kids are so lovely, play with them!
- you may think kids now are in phones and computers. Well dont include these kids bcs these kids still know what play means!

7. See the mountain across by yourself!
- bcs that white mountain is impossible to reach due to some issues that no ones go there bcs most people climb there never come back we climb by motor the other mountain to have a photo seeing the gold mountain.


To amera and his brother, to my unni and her child and husband and to all kids and people I've met there, thank you for the memories! Till next time! It was truly a gold mountain with a people with a golden heart!


I hope this may help you enjoy your day and hope to give you info to like to check this place besides on omits scary behind story hope this will serve an information for those who have no idea what is mt. Diwata all about and what's in their.

Brazil is such a huge country with 8.516 million km² . To picture out how big Brazil is down below shows how massive it is. Brazil is a combination of countries packed in one massive land. Also, Brazil is the only Latin America country that do not speak Spanish but Portuguese. It is remarkably interesting diverse country that I stayed for 10 months, yes almost a year. To name some of the interesting facts: 1.        If you want hot and completely hot for the entire year – go to North. 2.        If you want four seasons – go to South! 3.        Carnival is more celebrated in compare to Christmas or New Year 4.        They pronounce H if the word starts with like Rio de Janeiro must be pronounce as Hio de Janeiro 5.        Every state has different an amazing to offer 6.        All faces, colors and races – you can find there 7.        They do not have natural calamities at all so the only problem is some people like robber and killer or with guns 8.        Amazon h

Along the way after I decided to expose myself in traveling I discover that there is another way to live in this life- not only, get a stable job, getting married, and build a family. We all knew that life is really uncertain- am I dying? I do not know- that is the ironic in this life because we do not know unfortunately. I know I am 24 years old, not married, not stable but what I am doing is what I want to do before I die, so I hope you respect my last wish. I do not want to think that I have so much time to waste to spend before it is too late. Do I miss my family and all the people I loved and left?- Yes of course.   Bangkok Thailand, 2015 What am I doing is one way to keep them updated. I want to inspire others  that in this life- you don't have to follow of what others told you to do but do it because that makes you happy. And for me, what makes me happy is sharing my experience to others that there is still hope to live the life you wanted. It is not abo

What exactly I always here while working in here (I mean my part time job now), Hi I am a cashier of a 24/6 convenience store and my shift is every TTH from 7pm to 7 am. True that our price is higher compare to other store but what we differ from them is we serve 24/6, meaning it is what exactly explains why our price is higher a bit. Also, the panel or the supplier is not on time so we buy some products in bulk to the big distributor store that is at the same time located in the same area as we are. When customer shares her/ his experience and they ask you what will you do if u are them. Supposedly u don't care but customer tell you u are mean and bitch if u dont care. I just experience it awhile ago, i have no voice and the customer is blah blah and he ask me and i just look at him and smile- i tell you he just said after, "the cashier is so mean"... Hahahah well base in my current status, I don't care, i got no voice lol. You feel it? Agggh! Same here! Especially t
