What Contains In this place? And how truly that this area is perfect for camping site? And one of Native land back many years already?
First of all, Sitio Along-alongon is located at the middle of the mountainous areas of Manticao, in the Province of Misamis Oriental. This high places is far from crowded areas were houses, commercial establishments, Restaurants and even Provincial roads. It takes many hours of traveling by hiking adventure and aside of that, a stepped and slope areas at the mountain and hills. This Sitio is contains lots of wild and big trees including wild plants and wild flowers. Different kinds of animals like birds and snakes can also be seen here.
From the top of the mountain can be seen this over looking views on which neighboring mountains and some villagers lived. This Sitio is the last place of Barangay Paniangan and this Mountain is also boundary point between Barangay Paniangan and Barangay Poblacion. Most of the hardwood native trees can be seen and found here are Germilina, Mahogany, Molave, Acacia and Ipil tree and all of this tree is good for constructural porpuses.
This is areas are now well presserved on which there are lots of trees can be seen grows. This is the first areas were lots of tourists and travelers who came from far places, bringing their tents and put here in this areas. At the top of the mountain is the plain land were lots of wild grass grows. Some of the place are covered with a shady areas because of the trees and aside of that, tons and chunks of silica cannbe found here.
For the past many years, this place was a road trail to all native peoplw specially when they want to go to the river. This road trail is located at the top of this tons of silica rocks and the small chunks of rocks are now rolled away. Bike and motor trails are sometimes being done in here and some parts of the road trail has not grown with grass because the only thing it left is the stone. For many years has past, this road trail is not still vanished and it can still be seen the trail leading to the other side of the Mountain.
This big slabs of rocks was served as a camp fire areas were tourists build a camping fire. Lots of peebles are rooled down from the top portion of the stones and some moss grows at the surface. According to the elders, this was once a sacred ground areas of native people on which they offered animals and worship with their Gods called Anito. This round portion of the area is served as an offering areas and the burned the animals they hunt to offer their Gods.
This place was once an agricultural land areas where corn field can be seen here that time. For centuries has past, the place is already covered with wild grass and the once a farm land was completely vanished and gone. There are some residents feed their cows here but that was only the time. Despite of the sad happenings about the place, still there are few people still visited here, taking pictures particularly the Mountains and do camping trips in here.
This big rocks are already here many years ago, some of the rocks can be seen and found here are contains lots of markings created by native people. This is one of the historical areas here in Sitio along-alongon in fact there are some artifacts unearthed here in this place like pots and jewelries made of shells.
Not far enough from those big stones are this spacious areas. There are lots of Native houses built that time and approximately 5 houses each vacant areas. It is surrounded with trees, wild grass and wild plants but the areas remains very wonderful. One of the best reason why this place is very unique, historical and perfect to visit its because this sitio is contains lots of plain areas, a place were lots of Native people lived long time ago and contains lots of wonderful and over looking views.
