All Six Hikers Rescued After Getting Lost in Philippine Mountains

The group, including multiple Germans, was found after a three-day search involving the army, police, and volunteers in challenging terrain.

The hikers, aged 38 to 67, included two Germans, a Briton, a Russian, and a Canadian, and were lost during a day hike near Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park on March 19.
Heavy rain and poor visibility caused the group to lose their way in the mountainous region, which lacks cell service and is known for its difficult terrain.
A large-scale rescue operation involving the Philippine Army, police, and volunteers successfully located all members by Saturday morning, March 22.
The hikers had limited supplies, relying on snacks and lake water, and were found in varying physical conditions, with some requiring medical attention.
The search area included Mount Talinis, the second-highest volcano on Negros Island, and utilized drones and ground teams to locate the group.
