Mr. July 2003
Sir Virgilio T. Candelaria, Jr.
written by CYL BRYAN BAGADIONG


Ladies and gentleman, please welcome, Mr. Virgilio T. Candelaria Jr., ang taong Bundok!

If I were to introduce my good and reliable friend Junjun (as he is fondly called) that will be my introduction to him. Not that his face is like a monkey or a gorilla, on the contrary, he is
Brad Pitt in the eyes of Lita or Joy or whomever
is his current fling today.

I agree! Though not with the Brad Pitt thing, he
has the looks and the body that even the original Taong bundok ( that is Tarzan by the way) will
be jealous to.


Born on January 14, 1977, this guy literally climbs every mountain that his feet
can set into. On his pocket are the credits not only of local mountains but also of the Bicol region such as Mt. Mayon, Mt. Bulusan, and Mt. Isarog to name a few.

Born as a leader under the sign of Capricorn, Junjun espoused the idea of responsible mountaineering. It is his principle that when climbing we should
treat ourselves as mere visitors of the mountain, being under the hospitality and graciousness of its true owner, mother nature!

Tariktik, as he is baptized under our club, always volunteer to lead expedition climbs or exploratory climbs. True to his sworn duty to the club, he devotes his time in establishing trails for the members to experience. Never been afraid of unknown mountains, tariktik always spearhead in blazing trails for the Club members.

Jun Jun, if not in the midst of a jungle or in the peak of the mountains, can be found at his parent's abode enjoying the sounds of Reggae, Rock and
Alternative music. He loves the music of Bob Marley, Guns and Roses and the Soul Asylum.

Sporting a long hair, Bob Marley style, this guy does not fail his friend whenever one needs a laugh. His company can only be defined as joy and happiness.
No wonder that even serious talks in clubs meeting can be interrupted by Jun Jun's antics without anyone taking a bad cue.

Simple, with depth, and a loyal friend and a true blooded Greencat, Jun
dreams that someday he will be climbing the peak of Mt. Everest and plant the First Filipino Flag at the peak bringing honor not only to the country but to his several girlfriends.

  Paging Bernadette Sembrano of GMA 7's Wish ko lang, Please give this guy a   break!
