Sometimes, they travel with their family or in group. So I completely agree with your observation on the need to establish a park system. Imagine the tourism and economic benefits this will bring.<br /><br />I was told that there is already a hiking/trekking path in and around Benguet but this is only known to locals and avid mountaineers. It'll be indeed a playground. <br /><br />Perhaps, we should lobby for a policy to establish our own park system :) Thanks for posting.
