This hit me right in the feels! The way you describe Mt Isarog as a "silent ancestor" really captures something special about how we relate to sacred places. Its crazy how places like Mayon get all the attention while Isarog holds so much ecological uniqueness w/ those endemic species. Your point about being guardians instead of conquerors resonates - feels like we need that mindset shift everywhere tbh
Mabalos for the kind words! It’s true—we often get so caught up in Mayon’s beauty that we forget Isarog quietly sustains us. Shifting from "conqueror" to guardian is exactly what we need if we want our "silent ancestor" to keep watching over us for generations to come.

Thanks for the note and glad it resonated with you. Yes, Mt. Isarog is special indeed!
