The Other Realm that is Mt. Pinatubo
It resulted from a re-scheduled activity. Came dawn of Saturday, we found ourselves alighting from a bus at the Mc Donald’s branch in Capas, Tarlac, me, my 2 brothers - Dino and Drei, and my cousin Ryan. It was a good 2 hour trip, spent mostly sleeping, and at past 5 AM, we were ahead of our scheduled arrival. While waiting for the vehicle that was going to pick us up, we had cups of coffee to counter the early morning chill. Surprisingly, we were joined by a number of other people eating breakfast or just simply sipping their coffees as well. Like us, they were also probably waiting for their rides. Like us, they were also probably headed to one of the town’s leading tourist destination. Mt. Pinatubo. To the few who still have not heard of the place, Mt. Pinatubo is an active volcano situated in the vicinities of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. Its explosion way back in June 15, 1991 is considered to be the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20 th century.
