Hello everyone!
I Snapped about not being able to sleep last night (actually earlier this morning) that I edited some videos from our hike to Lake Holon in South Cotabato. I'm playing with a lot of things in Capcut and I'm amazed by how easy it is now to create videos. I'm far from being good at editing, but I'm really enjoying the process. I'll continue creating short videos for my mother's Reels (because her Facebook is already monetized) and also share them here. I want to have a first-hand comparison between Facebook monetization and Hive. I'm so excited for this whole process!
I realized I haven't shared anything yet about our Lake Holon adventure. It's time to have a glimpse of the lake's enchanting allure. Upon reaching the view deck in Kule Trail, I realized why so many Filipinos are sharing their experiences in Lake Holon on social media. The trip was all worth it!
Lake Holon is a crater lake of Mt. Melibengoy or Mt. Parker. No one knows the exact depth of the lake, but one thing is for sure: the crystal clear waters and the stunning view of the lake draws a lot of tourists from all around the country. It's not yet well-known to international tourists though. I would say that the whole trip to the crater lake is an experience and an adventure in itself. From the death defying motorcycle ride to the slow-paced steep ascent to the mouth of the crater to another steep descent to the lake, it's not for everyone. I'm just happy I experienced it while I still have the energy and will to climb mountains.
Of course, I'll share the whole experience in a separate post(s), but for now, have a taste of its ethereal calmness. Just know that before that calmness, you have to endure the whole ordeal of climbing a mountain.
I guess that's all for this post. Enjoy the video!

Thank you! Lake Holon is a must-visit spot in South Cotabato.
What a wonderful place for hiking 😍😍 the lake looks amazing 😍😍😍
Indeed! But it's not an easy trail. Not really for beginners or those with health problems.
Wow, what a beautiful picture of a mountain my friend, have a nice day.
Thanks! Have a nice day to you, too!
Hiking around a lake is such a peaceful experience
True!
very beautiful scenery there, the beautiful lake holds an extraordinary mystery, the green water looks very deep, it's very exciting to be there, but the sacrifice to get there is very challenging adrenaline according to your story 😱
but it can be paid off with this very beautiful view 🤩❤
Extraordinary mystery indeed. When we reached the campsite, my friends took a plunge at the lake, but I was so afraid of how deep it was. Aside from the very cold water, I'm more afraid to swim in a lake than in a sea. I'm a freediver, but I'm afraid of lakes.
yes it looks scary even though the atmosphere is calm there
It's really very beautiful, a very amazing lake, this natural beauty is very extraordinary, I really really like it and am very entertained to see it ❤️
Thanks! 🙏
You're welcome my friend, have a nice day ❤️
Hello, I've been editing videos for a long time and it's true, it's an increasingly simple task for those who, like me, don't know about video.
The landscape looks spectacular, I think it is also very suggestive.
A big hug, @ybanezkim26.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments, @enraizar!
🤗
Wow, it really is an amazing place, I would love to be there sometime. Great idea to wear your Hive shirt, you have an awesome picture there! ✌️
I might have to print another Hive shirt for my next travel. It's really great to have a Hive shirt for a photo op.
Wow! This place is captivating, Sir @ybanezkim26. I thought you were in Taal lake. What an itinerary you have.
Captivating indeed! It's one of the few places in the Philippines that's not yet overrun by tourists.
I agree!
