The Story About The Protector of Mt. Bulusan

The Story about the protector of Mt.
Bulusan
Mt. Bulusan, a spectacular mountain in a remote district of the Philippines, once
stood majestically. It was famous for its breathtaking views and natural treasures, and
both residents and visitors came to enjoy it. However, there was a tale associated with
the mountain that both terrified and attracted people.
The story goes that Amomongo, a strong and malevolent ghost, formerly lived atop
Mount Bulusan. It was said that this spirit could manipulate the weather and trigger
typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. The villagers said that Amomongo
would release its fury on the humans as a kind of retaliation because it was enraged
by the incessant human activity and disrespect shown to the mountain.
Despite the legend, people kept going to Mt. Bulusan to admire its beauty and were
unaware of the risk they were taking. Many of them ignored the local authorities'
attempts to warn them about the mountain's potential dangers and went anyway.
Unfortunately, this resulted in a number of tragic incidents where people were hurt or
even killed by landslides or sudden volcanic eruptions.
One day, a group of climbers made the decision to ascend Mt. Bulusan in an effort to
reach its summit and experience its breathtaking views. They had adequately prepared
themselves for the climb and were a team of seasoned climbers. However, they were
ignorant of the mountain's legend and did not take the warnings seriously.
As they climbed higher and higher, the weather started to change rapidly. The sky
turned dark, and the wind picked up, making it harder for them to keep their balance.
They started to hear strange noises coming from the mountain, like the rumbling of a
distant thunderstorm. But they still pushed on, determined to reach the summit.
A strong earthquake struck abruptly as they approached the halfway point. They
struggled to hold on to the rocks as they were knocked off balance. It was obvious that
the earthquake was not a natural occurrence because it lasted for several minutes.
They then understood they had erred greatly by not taking the legend seriously.
Just as they were about to retreat and head back down the mountain, they heard a
loud explosion. They looked up and saw that the peak of Mt. Bulusan had erupted,
spewing ash and lava into the air. The climbers were trapped, with no way to go back
or continue climbing. They were stuck on the side of the mountain, with the volcano
erupting above them and a deadly drop below them.
Even though they were terrified, the climbers made an effort to remain composed and
plan an escape. They were aware that they needed to take cover and defend
themselves from the ash and falling debris. A small cave that could act as a temporary
shelter was discovered after they searched the area. They gathered inside, hoping it
would shield them from Amomongo's wrath.
For several hours, the climbers were cut off from communication with and assistance
from outside the cave. They could hear the volcano rumbling and the sound of falling
debris, but they were unable to determine how close it was to where they were. They
were out of supplies and beginning to experience the effects of the smoke and ash.
When they had given up all hope, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the
outside. They cautiously peered out of the cave and noticed a team of rescuers
climbing the mountain. The rescuers swiftly assisted the climbers to safety after
braving the perilous circumstances to save them.
The climbers were grateful and relieved to be saved, but they also understood that
they had gained important knowledge. They put themselves in grave danger by
ignoring the cautionary tales and the legend surrounding Mount Bulusan. They made
the decision to never do it again after realizing that nature was a strong force that
needed to be respected and protected.
The rapid spread of the climbers' rescue's news served as a warning to the local
government and populace. They came to understand that the Amomongo legend was
more than just a myth; it also served as a warning about the mountain's potential
hazards. To protect both tourists and residents, they started to take the warnings
seriously and put safety measures in place.
Mt. Bulusan continued to be a well-liked vacation spot, but with a renewed respect
and amazement for its natural wonders. The story of Amomongo was still told, not as a
frightful tale but as a warning to respect and safeguard the environment. The
climbers, meanwhile, went back home with a newfound appreciation for nature and a
tale they would never forget.
