  • No one's allowed to enter the falls and river. Although it's a National Park, the water is actually toxic due to waste. There are however swimming pools a few meters down from the falls where people can swim in clean water. This place should be renamed "Hinulugang Tak-ki".
  • early 1980's were having picnic lunch here from the church
  • Wow... hope they can restore back the clean water...
