The Misadventures of the Allebas at Camp Sabros
My cousins Kuya Andrew, Gwing, Kuya Jofer, Marc, and I just came from Camp Sabros. To start of our misadventure, we missed this very important sign…
So we passed through Digos City (where Camp Sabros is) then panicked upon seeing the “Thank You! Come Again to Digos” signage. ![]()
Not such a great way to start a fun summer outing. It was a sign of things to come… dun dun duuuun!
We had to turn back, tried to find the correct way, and realized we wasted a lot of time by getting lost. When we saw a McDonald’s we immediately went down to buy lunch, but wasn’t able to because it was only 10 am and they would only start serving non-breakfast food at 10:30 am. SAAAD!
Then we began the long trip to Camp Sabros. It was loooong and bumpeh! Then we tried to trek from the parking area to the actual site. Gwing, Marc, and I failed at being trekkers so we rode motorcycles. It was my first time to ride a motorcycle. Nothing exciting.
Then, we arrived at Camp Sabros, when it was almost our turn, the people manning the zipline had to eat lunch.
So we also ate lunch… a so-so, overpriced lunch. ![]()
Finally, we had our turn at the longest zipline in the Philippines…
And here’s the Ria and Gwing video by Kuya Andrew:
We had a screaming contest. LOL!
It was 380 meters long above a valley and among pine trees and other greenery at a height of 180ft. Zipline speed = 380 meters / 50 seconds = 7.6 m/s = 27.36 km/hr = GRAWRRR!
The lift ride back to the camp site was 3 minutes long… suspended up high… with no real harnesses or anything stable or flat to step on. Scary!
Gwing’s tears flowed out while I closed my eyes most of the time. Needless to say, we were screaming. ![]()
Watch out for more embarrassing photos and videos of me and Gwing. ![]()
The zipline was a fun and thrilling must-try experience but the entire trip was a disappointment.
{I MIGHT make a longer, better video if I don’t get too lazy.
