From Barcelona, Sorsogon, we jumped off for Route 3 - Bulusan Volcano Natural Park, Bulusan, Sorsogon, about 5:45 P.M., still the first day.
The Bulusan Volcano Natural Park is a 3,673-hectare (9,080-acre) protected area of rainforest surrounding Mount Bulusan in the Philippines. It was first designated as a National Park by Proclamation No. 811 on June 7, 1935. Under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) of 1992 managed by the Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR), the park was reclassified as a Natural Park by Proclamation No. 421 on November 27, 2000. The area features the volcano itself, the Bulusan Lake, the two other mountains known as the Sharp Peak and Hormahan and Lake Aguingay . The Park is located at the south central part of Sorsogon Province, bounded by five municipalities such as Bulusan, Barcelona, Irosin, Juban and Casiguran.
As the natural habitats declined over the years as a result of extensive kaingin, heavy hunting, and human settling, cooperating municipalities especially Bulusan and Irosin joined hands in responding to conservation efforts. Plans have been drawn with the support from DENR, local communities, local government units, non-government organizations and concerned citizens for the rehabilitation of affected areas and protection of still remaining untouched forests. Eco-tourism has been encouraged to give more job to the locals to limit the use of produce found in the park. [End of Episode 4]
