Standing between our OIC Provincial Tourism Officer, Atty. Dale Louis Tudtud (right) and Mr. Sheldon Baquilta from DENR (left), Mr. Lito De Veterbo, a trailblazer in his own right, embarked on a monumental journey to circumnavigate the healing island of Siquijor solely on foot.
As Lito shared his remarkable expedition plans, Atty. Tudtud, recognizing the potential impact on tourism and the profound spirit of adventure inherent in such a daring feat, extended his support and admiration for this unprecedented endeavor.
Mr. De Veterbo’s daring adventure to circumnavigate Siquijor Island by foot is nothing short of commendable. His commitment to exploration, paired with a deep reverence for nature, beautifully embodies the ethos of ‘Leave No Trace Behind.’ Through his remarkable journey, he not only showcases the island’s beauty but also sets an inspiring example by treading lightly.
Embarking on his trail last Friday [Nov. 24, 2023) and culminating today [Nov. 26, 2023], Sunday, in the Municipality of Siquijor, Mr. De Veterboโs feat not only celebrates the island’s allure but stands as a testament to human tenacity and a profound respect for nature’s wonders.
