thanks for the link of the mission sir Kdon! I can't seem to find the mission earlier, so yeah. I'm still learning this one haha :)

yes, I agree. In fact, I still haven't seen a Colasisi that's not in captivity. I hope to see you in the future climbs sir! please let me know if you have a climb, or a birding sortie. I'm still a newbie and I really want to learn from people like you sir

sir KdonGalay oh sorry I forgot to mention, this colasisi is in captivity by an ex NPA who lives on a small local community in Mt. Banoi. I am against it, but can't do anything about it

oh okay sir! I am not aware of that mission as I'm still new in ProjectNoah! thanks sir! :)
