Take down the hill on approach end of 24......

I started flying into Caticlan back in the 70's when it was still a grass strip. I have no idea why ATO/CAAP made it a one-way runway. We used to take-off and land over the hill all the time. Nobody ever hit it.
But people used to overshoot 06 all the time landing with a tailwind. They must have rebuilt that fence at the end a few dozen times.
There used to be a semi-permanent downdraft just before the threshold of 06 where the nipa swamp was. Dunno if it's still there.
