       Kawangis Mountaineers was established in November, 2006 by the two persons from a well known company. Christian Venerayan and Christhophen Abasolo, both mountaineer from different groups. Christian was a member of a group from Las Piñas and Christophen was a member of Bathala Empire based on Baclaran and one of the members of the Bantay Banahaw. The two met in the company and shared their love on mountains with each other. So they have decided to form a group and named it as KAWANGIS which has tagalog meaning of "Magkatulad" or "Magkamukha" since both shares the same hobby and love of nature. As the time gone by, they invites more person/individual to join their group. The two baptized(wangis) each member by a character name in which they portrayed. Since Christophen is one of the founder of the group, he was baptized as "Ang Prinsipeng Tagapagtatag". On the other hand, Christian was known by his charm and way of engaging a person/individual to join the group. He was then baptized as "Ang Piratang Tagapagbuklod". As the years gone by, KAWANGIS Mountaineers had grew and was able to add new members and as of now there are more than 50 individuals.
