A Lovely Morning in Barangay Managok

When Bukidnon's first ever full marathon dubbed as Dinaganay sa Malaybalay 2012 was held last June 24, 2012, I was one of the volunteer photographers doing the documentation part of the big event. I took up the task of taking photos of the runners in Barangay Managok which is part of the 42K route.  It was a cold and foggy morning in Managok and I am sure the runners enjoyed the scenic route of rice fields on the sides and Mount Capistrano looming at a distance.

 Mount Capistrano looms over the vast rice fields of "Basakan Area".

With its attractive rock formations and challenging caves, Mount Capistrano is a favorite climbing destination of local folks and nature trekkers especially during the lent season. Despite its rough terrains and sharp rocks, it offers a good spot to enjoy the panoramic view of the neighboring mountains and the vast acres of rice and corn fields below.
