MARIA CRISTINA FALLS

Oooops, they are not lovers; in fact they are cousins and they are just kids! This is not about them. Its about the waterfalls at their back, lol.
Iligan City is located in the northern part of Mindanao here in the Philippines. It was known before as the “Industrial City of the South” due to the fact that there are several buildings of industrial companies within the city. Although there are still big industrial companies in this city the total number of said companies is not that many as compared to before. Hence, it is no longer designated as such.

Anyway, the city now is known as “the City of Waterfalls.” I wanted to share this to you in case you could come and visit Iligan City. You can check out the different waterfalls big or small in this city. For now, let us concentrate on this waterfalls known as Maria Cristina Waterfalls. I have no knowledge of why this is called Maria Cristina Falls, sorry, lol. Anyway, this place is visited by tourists or usually by students in their fieldtrips. The place is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays. In the picture (just ignore the kids, lol) the water is really not on its full blast. This is because this visit was taken not on weekends. In fact, my sister only asks a favor to the operator to open the place because these two kids came from a far away place which is only four hours from Iligan, lol, and they wanted to see the waterfalls, lol. So my sister findsways to make a negotiation and luckily they were allowed to visit the place. On the other hand, it was unexpected that our digicam was not working because the battery was dead and we could not locate the charger, sigh. So, the pictures were taken only using a cellular phone. That is why these are the only pictures that I could pick for you to see and have an idea of the view of the waterfalls. Maybe when I can go there where the falls is at its full blast, I could take pictures again to post here.

Happy blogging everyone!
