Watery Wednesday

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

--- George Eliot

 Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. 

---George Eliot

 To connect with the great river we all need a path, but when you get down there there's only one river. ---Matthew Fox

Twin #Falls

Visiting Maria Cristina Falls

 Maria Cristina Falls is a waterfall of the Agus River on the island of Mindanao.

 It is sometimes called the "twin falls" as the flow is separated by a rock at the brink of the waterfall.

 It is a landmark of Iligan City, nicknamed the City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls in the city.

 It is located 9.3 kilometers away southwest of the city proper at the boundaries of Barangays Maria Cristina, Ditucalan, and Buru-un.

 Well known for its natural beauty and grandeur, the 320 - feet (98 meters) high waterfall is also the primary source of electric power for the city's industries, being harnessed by the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant.

Maria Cristina Falls powers the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant, one of the several hydroelectric plants that harness Agus River. The power plant has a 200 MW potential capacity supplied by a water flow of about 130 cubic meters per second. (source: wikipedia.com)

Katibawasan Falls

 Katibawasan Falls is a waterfalls located five kilometers southeast of Mambajao at the foot of Mt. Timpoong in the island of Camiguin. It measures about 250 feet which cascades to a rock pool surrounded by ground orchids, wild ferns, trees and boulders. Ice cold water provides an ideal summer splash to bathers and picnickers. The falls tumble down into a green pool, ideal for a refreshing swim. Giant ferns decorate the surrounding land, carpeting for space with huge trees and dropping vines. Rock picnic tables, seats and cookout facilities are available for use. Considered as one of the treasured gifts nature has bestowed Camiguin, the falls is maintained by the province and visitors are expected to pay a minimal entrance fee.(Wikipilipinas)

Tinuy-an Falls

Here is another amazing waterfall. It is Tinuy-an Falls. I described it, The Majestic Tinuy-an Falls. Tinuy-an Falls is located in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur..

The falls are 95 m wide and 55 metres (180 ft) high, touted as the Niagara Falls of the Philippines. Tinuy-an is a white water curtain that flows in three levels and is said to be the widest waterfall in the Philippines. Every morning, the area shows a rainbow between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Source)

I took the above photos with Samsung Galaxy Y. It is darky :-) sorry for that. Maybe because the weather was not fine at that time.

I was half-contented with this visit. We stayed for one hour only in this place. I didn't explore Tinuy-an Falls that much. They said, we must climb and see the upper area of the waterfall to experience and witness the alluring view of the waterfall.

'I shall return' sounds familiar? Maybe someday in God's will, I shall visit again Tinuy-an Falls.

Katibawasan Falls

Katibawasan Falls is located in the Island of Camiguin dubbed as the Island Born of Fire. It is one of the main attractions in Camiguin. When you visit Camiguin, never fail to add in your list Katibawasn Falls.

It is my second time to visit the waterfall. I am still amaze of its beauty. It is one of a kind. It is mysterious.

Heading to Katibawasan falls is not easy for us. Last time, 3 years ago, I didn't find difficulty ascending to the falls as what I've experienced today. It is because the cab we rented can't ascend the road going to the falls. We needed to walk and run and walk and run just to reach the falls.

After too much effort/energy/sweats exerted, we finally landed the falls.

 How can you say NO with this beauty.

Meet the local tourists who walked and ran just to see and "taste" the falls :-)

I love this view

 and this too.

Katibawasan Falls is not hard to visit. It is just our cab didn't work well that day. For those adventurous people, you will surely love Katibawasan Falls.
