    Source of Information: Daily Inquirer

    Kidapawan Citys tourism office reported that a major forest fire broke out on Mt. Apo on
    May 31 and has affected more than 100 hectares of forest cover.

    Dozens of trekkers, who climbed Mt. Apo during the Holy Week, were evacuated as
    Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) personnel from here, Makilala and Magpet have been trying to
    battle the forest fire.
    Joey Recimilla, the city tourism officer, said the forest fire continued to spread and was
    only about two kilometers from Lake Venado which is also adjacent to reforestation sites on
    the Makilala town side of the countrys highest peak as of Sunday morning.
    Recimilla said initial investigation disclosed that the forest fire started about 1 p.m. on
    Saturday from the camp site on the peak of Mt. Apo. He said it was uncertain if campers started
    it.
