Prior to this story being posted on the webpage, an email already circulated to some of us here. It was sent by Reginald to the email loop of Bundokeros, and I was in the loop that time. Everybody from BAC wanted to help, right there and then they planned to have a fund raising. Rappel for a Cause, and Kalasag was invited. Without any hesitation, I pledged to help not only because I wanted to experience rappelling but also because I wanted to do my part, in my own little way. I even invited some of my old friends who are working here but they had prior engagements.

The Rappel for a Cause by the Bundokeros Adventure Club was held at the Bukit Timah Dairy Farm on the 4th of April. The support from the Filipinos outdoor enthusiasts was overwhelming. It was a big success. The BAC was able to raise 300% of the amount they expected. Were it not for the hardwork and effort of BAC, it wouldn't be that succesful, plus of course the participants including me..kaya ng pinoy basta sama-sama!

Congratulations Bundokeros at Salamat sa lahat ng tumulong!

Jumping off was not an easy thing to do, it takes a lot of courage and determination. It was some hundred feet above the ground and for a person with acrophobia like me it was a fear factor, not to add the additional effort I did making it to the top. I conquered my phobia in the name of Baby Jose and now I can say that fear is definitely not a factor anymore. :0)

Another interesting part of the day was when I saw Sol and his son Gabby with a group of Singaporeans rappelling on the other side of the rock. I was introduced to her husband and while we waited for the first set to finish before lunch I played and talked to her adorable son gabby.
