“Our role as mountaineers has evolved from being mere summit seekers to being guardians of the peaks,” Dablio instructed members who gathered on the Patio de Conchita in Intramuros, Manila on 17 March.
Dablio urged new and upcoming members to carry the self-discipline and look after nature taught by the group since 1994 every time they climb.
“Let us continue to be the gold standard of responsible mountaineering in the Philippines,” he mentioned.
