Falls No. 1 of Lake Sebu

This will be my last post in 2007 so let me start by thanking all the readers, friends and bloggers I have met this year. Looking at the counters and the comments you have made in this blog, I couldn't help but be amazed and be grateful for even in few minutes of your lives, you allowed me to be a part of it. And I could only wish everyone prosperity and happiness in 2008. So to everyone - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The last travel I made in 2007 was in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. Lake Sebu offers the Seven falls and I had the opportunity to visit Falls No. 1 or the Dongon Falls. Of the Seven falls, this Falls is the easiest to reach because of dirt road where vehicles can pass. From the municipal proper, this Falls can be travelled in about fifteen minutes. If you do not have a vehicle, you can rent a habal-habal and you can go to this Falls and even Falls No. 2 which also has a dirt road trail.

Entrance fee for the Falls is only Five Pesos per person where you have to walk about a couple of minutes from the entrance to reach the Falls. There are two bridges there where you can have a magnificent view of the entire length of the falls. The concrete bridge is perfect for picture-taking with the Falls on the background. The wooden/bamboo bridge brings you nearer to the lake where you can see an awesome view of a powerful cascading water.

The local government of Lake Sebu and South Cotabato with the aid of Australia and New Zealand investors are in the process of developing the Seven falls wherein their goal is to connect and build a trail around these Seven Falls so that tourists can easily visit and see these magnificent Falls. For now, only two out of the seven Falls can be reached by vehicles. The other five falls can be seen thru trekking and climbing.

This Lake Sebu trip is really like no other because you can really feel the nature commune with you from sunrise to sunset. I am blessed with the opportunity to travel this place with Father Arnold, Fireman Ante and Accountant Carmi. And of course many, many thanks to our generous host Sir Sam Perez and his staff.

Again to everyone, thank you for the friendship and acquaintance in 2007 and wishing you all the very best in 2008. GOD BLESS US everyone!!!
