Paragliding Experience in Oslob

We went there at dawn, when the sun was still about to rise and the wind was still blowing at its majesty. Paragliding in Oslob, Cebu usually happens at this early hours. They said the wind slows down at the later parts of the day.

The adrenaline was rushing all throughout my body the moment the paragliding pilot told me “Sige, ready na ka? Ig dagan nako, dagan napud. diretso ra ug dagan, dagan ug kusog. Walay hunong hunong, unya ig abot sa pangpang, ambak.. Ok? 1,2,3…” (Okay, are you ready? When I run, you run also. Run straight, run fast, and no stopping, when we arrive at the cliff, jump… Ok? 1,2,3…”

“Ay, wait sa kuya. Taymsa.” (Wait for a while big brother.) Trying to process what he just said with a half-baked smile. After a few minutes, Okay, I’m ready. – or I think so?

The fresh wind rushed through my face when we finally took-off at the peak of the town of Daanglungsod. While on air, I didn’t move and was closing my eyes for awhile. I can’t believe I was swaying my two legs freely at great heights. It terrified me for a while but after a minute, I decided to open my eyes and enjoyed the alluring scenery of Oslob, Cebu.

My fear of heights disappeared few minutes after, and I enjoyed the rest of the experience… especially the landing. It was awesome.

Here is the video made by our team for the Cebu Provincial Tourism Office. It was part of the travel promo of the tourism team.
