SHORT HISTORY OF SUDLON II
Way back in 1946 in the month of March, the Moncadistas arrived in Sudlon. The first fellow they met was Mr. Estiban Gabisan, who introduced himself as the Teniente del Bario of Sudlon, Toledo, Cebu and Cebu City. When the Moncadistas asked him why the place was called Sudlon, he answered that the barrio was named as such because of the water that passed through undeground caves.
To “sulod” in Bisaya means “to enter” hence, Sudlon means a place.
SUdlon ll is bounded by north of balamban, south by sudlon l,east of brgy. Bonbon cebu and west of toledo city. It is accessible via jy road for about 1 1/2 hrs through motorbike. Or via toledo pangamihan road for about 2 hrs if you are from toledo city proper.
There landmarks are public market, integrated school, jaime moncado compound, cemetery etc. The weather is very cold like its a cebu version of baguio city. They grown plenty of vegetables such as lettuce, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers and rootcrops.
It was a long weekend when i decided to invite the youth organization that i created in the mountain to go with me to visit the compound of gen. Jaime moncado because i promised that i take them out one time.
BACKGROUND OF OLD BUCAO YOUTH ORGANIZATION
I created this youth organization last 2 years ago because when i arrived home from manila and i saw these fellas are not organised when holding their events during the fiesta in the mountain.So i gathered them and we elected officers.Then we agreed to have a fund raising program like we will contribute P5.00 each every sunday and thats for the entire year until the next fiesta and we did it.. And we already held 2 succcesful fiesta activities in the mountain. Thats why in order to celebrate, we went out as our outing experience together. We also held a feeding activity during lenten season wherein we feed the participants of “tiniblas”seminar.Tiniblas is a catholic related seminar activity and my neighbors were participating it and the youth decided to feed them. This organization is not that familiar because we dont have much funds to do things to make our team grow. But who knows one day we’ll find a sponsor 😁 lt will not be my benifits but for these young people.
The Day to SUDLON II
The day before we go to sudlon, we already agreed everything about what will we bring and what time will we leave.So we woke up very early and started to hike. It was very cold morning,muddy and slippery so we had no choice but to barefoot: no shoes or slippers.We crossed the river in camincilis and we got a time to clean our foot..We paused for a bit beside the river and waited for the rest of the members who left behind. When we all gathered, we prayed first before we move again. We hike for about 15 mins. Until we reach the buttom part of mt. Pangamihan.its very smooth trail cos their road was already concreted BUT the thing is, its very steep.the mountain is very high and you really need to stop every once in a while to rest. It took us about an hour til we reach the top.
While other teens are busy doing their selfies at the top of the mountain, im taking myself some photos also. For my own compilations 😊
So after a short rest and selfies, we moved and hike again. Some of the members are already complaining because its very hot and they were out of water. Glad there are houses beside the road that we can ask for water.
It took us about 2 hours until we reached one of the barangays of sudlon called guinduwahon. And they have this very nice newly built BIRHEN SA BARANGAY SHRINE. built on the top of the mountain. 
And at the back of the shrine was a very nice view like its a hidden paradise:everything is green plus a high drop of guinduwahon falls. I already fell inlove with this place. Its pretty amazing
So while others are waiting, i took a chance to take tons of pictures of it cos i cant have enough of just seeing it. I could say i could live over here!!Peaceful place, green nature plus my favorite : waterfalls that i could refresh myself everyday 😁.
It was around 11:00 o clock and we have to move because they said that sudlon proper is still very far. Some of the teens are moving ahead cos i keep stopping to get more photos. Then i found this mini baguio place that it really looks like youre in baguio City due to its pines trees Plus the 23 degrees freezy temperature of the place. 
And here, they grown a lot of green vegetables such as lettuce,carrots,cabbage and cucumbers. Wow. A grassy food eater like me will surely survive in here. Mmm green foods.
It was 12 noon that we finally reach sudlon proper. We went strsight to the compound of the late Gen. Jaime Moncado,cos thats one of main goal why we hike to sudlon..to visit his compound. Also we got a chance to interview to one of guard who look after the place. 
According to the guard that we interviewed,Gen.Jaime Moncado is one of the successor during world war ll and he built this compound as a hide out for the soldiers who fough againts japan. He died due to heart complications. I actually like to know more about his story cos it sounds very interesting for me and im sure im gonna go back one day. Meanwhile, I got a chance to take a photo with one of gen. Monacdos guard and im pretty sure that i will have a time with him and talk more about the late general on my next visit. 
After having our lunch, we took more photos and of course the groupie was included. 
That day was a great memory of everyone with me on my sudlon adventure. I can see it through their happy faces, that going to sudlon was never a dream for them anymore. Its a dream come true cos some of their parents didnt let them to go by themselves and if not because of me im sure these young people cant go there.
I concluded this trip as one of my succesful adventure.Being with the youth is another story. Im having a lot of fun with them.😊
