In one of my earlier field works, I reached Barangay Matampay in Kadingilan, Bukidnon. Matampay is one of the seventeen barangays of Kadingilan, and is one of the most far-flung and hard-to-reach areas of this 4th class municipality of the province.
It took more than one hour of motorcycle ride before we reached this barangay. From the Poblacion, we passed through the barangays of Pay-as, Bagor, San Andres, Mabuhay and Cabadiangan. Upon reaching Cabadiangan, we have to go through a steep uphill road before reaching Matampay. It was one rough, bumpy and butt-numbing ride all the way.
