WHEN AND HOW TO GO
For mountaineers, the usual route is the Pililia trail. To go there, ride a jeep at Crossing in EDSA Shaw Boulevard going to Tanay Rizal. You can actually hire a jeep to take you directly to the jumpoff point. At the Tanay public market, catch a ride going to Pililia and ask the jeep to take you to Barangay, Malaya (near the Barangay Hall). From there, you can ask locals for the street going to the jump-off point. There are locals living around the area so you can ask for directions. It’s safe to trek Sembrano all year round. There is one major fork after leaving the wide trail coming from the village. Take the right trail.
