Palibgon Falls
Pangaoan, Magpet, Cotabato
An Extreme Experience



We trekked Pangao-an River for four hours to reach Palibgon  falls, a pristine waterfalls. To present, there is no other  known trail except for the river that will lead you to its pool.

I beg  for courage to surpass the river trail .Every hour is survival. Stepping on the smallest stone to its biggest form. Rocks were virgin from human's touch. Waterfalls are facing each other from different mountain ranges serving one river to collect its water to flow. Like a road with blind curves, so as the river trail. Clingstones of  flora along the trail might get you mistaken that you are in a cave. Its a rock wall nearly touching each others surface. 




We passed by six thin waterfalls, viewed by  young adventurers from different hometowns. What have been witnessed from this hidden nature will be forever in their memories. Being no more years to count for more adventures, this quest for where water falls is so far the most extreme experience I had.

Hinulugang TakTak
Antipolo, Rizal

No more adventure but truly nature.


When I was a kid, going  to Antipolo means going to Antipolo Church, Adventure in Hinulugang TakTak, and eating Suman ng Antipolo. 

Growing up in Sta Mesa Manila, Luneta Park is the only ideal and accessible nature weekend gate away for children. Going to Antipolo is also  an out of town destination.

Now that I have the free will to take my adventure trips, I choose Hinulugang Taktak after my 2nd Ilocandia Road Trip. From Pasig , I  took a jeepney bound for Tanay via Antipolo. I was dropped at Save More (shooping center landmark along the highway) and asked a tricycle to bring me to Taktak Falls.

I was not able to pay my entrance fee since unknowingly i passed by the exit gate which was exclusively  for LGU Antipolo who were there for  their clean up drive at Hinulugang Taktak Nature Park.

The place is cool. While I'm heading down at its concrete trail, a heavy rain poured me wet.
I just let it go while i enjoy every step  going down. It's been said that rain is a good omen.
I had my pleasant time in one of the cottages with two sitting cats around.

The feeling is so refreshing. The air and water sounds healing. The place is naturally alluring.
I have been into many waterfalls in the country, and learned to appreciate rock formation.
The rock where water falls in Taktak looks like a king's throne with  his prince behind.

It was good too see Taktak Falls in its rehabilitated state. I highly recommend to spend your time with this  splendor gift of nature to invigorate your physical being. Also visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage to pay homage and pray for your safety travel. The taste of Suman ng Antipolo never fade. It still the best pasalubong for your special friends.


Say mythical creatures still exist,... my photo shots may show if its real. Or try if you can capture the same.

Hagimit Falls

Hagimit Falls
Garden City of Samal
Davao del Norte


To many it is a nice nature gateaway.
It is a destination for family, corporate, barkadahan adventure and fun.
Other describe it  as unexploited.
I Agree.




If I may technically describe it, Hagimit Falls is a Stream Water Falls.
As it was named after the vast Hagimit Trees that serves its forest cover,
Yes, it is still standing.
The falls is featured with combination of
Segmented and Puchbowl falls from its water source to its cascading  stream.
It is developed as a tourist destination
but insufficiently maintained to keep its grandeur.
