This is my first time to blog. I just want to try it and share my travel experiences and my mobile phone photography skills (ahem!) to others.
My adventure to Sagada was with the UPLB Environmental Science Society. It is a graduate student organization in UPLB which is composed of MS/PhD students of Environmental Science. The Sagada field trip happened last December 5 - 7 2015. It was part of the Ridge - to - Reef Adventure of the Society for the Academic Year 2015 - 16.

The nature trip to Sagada's objectives were to:
- assess the environmental issues in the municipality of Sagada which can be further developed as a practical project or research to be implemented by the society in the future,
- promote and apply environmental science as an interdisciplinary field and practice in understanding social and natural environments,
- create a written or audio-visual output regarding observations and experiences during the field trip, and
- increase familiarity and social networks among members. (and of course, the one that they forgot to include, to enjoy and celebrate the end of the first semester! haha!)
The #SagadaScapes is my first activity with the org and also my first to meet most of them. They were good people and good friends. Since "a picture is worth a thousand words", my blog would be more of pictures and less words... So here it goes!
