Slice of Sagada Life - Sunset Over Mount Tirad
maryan54 > albums > Sagada Highlands, Mt Province
Album Info:
Taken near Lake Danum at a place locals refer to as Besao sunset viewpoint. Elevation of Mt Tirad is 1,300 MASL (meters above sea level). A highlight of the Philippine-American War is the Battle of Tirad Pass, where the young general, Gregorio Del Pilar, showed his gallantry as he gave his life for our country on Dec. 2, 1899. His last words were "I surrender to the terrible destiny that is defeating me and my gallant men, but I rejoice to die for my dear country."

I remember now, the Battle of Tirad Pass! I don't see the sunset over the mountains because that is east of where I usually go to take pictures. Thanks for sharing and for the history lesson!
