Hi Guys!
First of all, we would like to thank all of you for being a part of the Himantayon community. In the last three months, we have experienced an unexpected surge of traffic and a much appreciated onslaught of new and exciting ideas from our readers.

Pahk: So pwde diay ko ma-late kada-adlaw. It’s a ‘hobby’ man.
