AsikAsik, North Cotabato

 Asik-Asik Falls       
 Dado, Alamada, North Cotabato      

            A national sensation, popular to locals, a waterfall phenomena.

In 2010 no record of its existence was recorded. All they can remember was  the last  strongest  typhoon and big flood that hit their place. And who discovered its grandeur? To name the person I cannot identify, one thing I'm sure he/she is a nature lover and adventurous.

The national media coverage of this new wonder destination made it popularly known to locals. As a policy, you register at their Barangay Guest Book and pay an environmental fee of PhP50.00 if you are not a resident of Alamada. In less than a year, there was no more mountain trail to follow instead a concrete pavement stair to reach the sensationalized Asik-Asik falls.

Asik-asik adventure is a test of breathing exercise. Asked the locals if  they plan to come back, some answered "even you'll pay me a million, dare me no more." It is just 500 steps down.

Asik-Asik is a case of a waterfall phenomena. It has no geographical record before it was known as locals attested that even its discovery was  surprisingly amazing. It is interesting, a speculative subject, and observed to be mysterious. "When more people come the more water crashing out from its green curtains"

My battle cry for this trully wonder of nature destination for locals...,let us keep Asik-Asik clean, don't leave your basura (candy/junkfood wrapper, shampoo sachet, alchohol bottles, etc.) anywhere but in your pockets.
