It was raining heavily the night before our climb. At the back of my mind I wondered what our plans would be if there's a typhoon - should we going back to Iloilo City and spend the rest of the day visiting churches and museums? Thankfully, however, the rain subsided by morning. With a slight drizzle above our heads, we started hiking at around 6AM, wadding across muddy rice fields. Our guides assured us that the mountain slopes will not be as muddy.
