FINAL REMINDERS, MUST READ!!

1. Following the LNT (Leave no trace) principle
- Every participant is REQUIRED to bring their own garbage bag.
- Wala po tayong iiwang kalat (kung anong inakyat, yun din ang ibababa) mula sa malaking kalat hanggang sa pinakamaliit na candy wrapper or upos ng sigarilyo.
- About sa speakers, magpapatugtog tayo pero tayo lang nakakarinig para hindi natin ma destruct yung iba.
- Pagdating ng gabi, socials tayo pero limit lang natin yung ingay para di nakakaistorbo sa mga natutulog na.
