CAGAYAN DE ORO – I just got back after doing a long hike in ARMM and it is only now that I heard about Victor Ayson who is still missing from a hike in Mt. Maculot. To all the hikers and common friends who contacted me about this, sorry for the late response. Meanwhile here’s a repost from Ben Pablo:
