It’s official. The 30th MFPI National Congress and Climb will be held in Bukidnon come April 16-19, 2009 and will be hosted by Northern Mindanao Mountaineering Society (NORMMS) Ecological Foundation Incorporated. I wasn’t able to attend last year’s National Congress and Climb in Mayoyao and is quite excited this year’s congress will be held here in Mindanao.
