Apo Hikers - Epilogue

Epilogue

Polgas and the rest of the gang visit the Philippine Eagle Nature Center, where they get the news that the equipment left by the illegal loggers at the waterfall had now been dismantled and that Pete and Jeffrey were doing well. Mel sees that the hikers were ready for the trip home; their backpacks were full again. Dagul explains that these contained gifts for the family back home - fruits such as marang, mangosteen, durian, suha (pomelo) and rambutan. Tomas has waling-waling orchid roots for his wife. Bab mentions that he has bariles for pulutan; fish parts such as roe, jaw and tail. The rest of the gang tell him that those items were not permitted on board the plane and that they'd better eat it right there and then (with a generous serving of beer, of course). During the drinking session, Polgas has everyone pose for a group picture with Mount Apo in the background, with Gary clicking the shutter.
