I have to ask for everyones indulgence for not being able to post anything new
for the past week. I hope with this post, Id be able to make up for it.
I was away on a 6-day arduous trip that brought me and friends to the remote
city of Bislig in Surigao del Sur. It involved taking the van from Tacloban to
Ormoc, then a slow boat to Cebu, then taking the plane to Davao and finally a
5-hour bus trip (2 hours of which was a jack hammer ride thru very rough
roads) deep into the forest heartland of PICOP or Paper Industries Corporations
vast logging concession at one time reputedly known as one of Asias biggest
timber and paper mills.
Located at the southeastern coast of Mindanao facing the Pacific Ocean, Bislig
is 158 kms south of Butuan, 152 kms south of Tandag City the capital of
Surigao del Sur, and 208 kilometers northeast of Davao City.
It was a long trip but worth the taking. If only for the fact that I was able to
personally see and shoot one of the best, if not the best, but lesser known
waterfalls of the country the Tinuy-an Falls in Brgy. Burboanan, Bislig City.
It is but normal for one to be struck speechless and amazed when one sees for
the first time the Tinuy-an Falls definitely THE grandest and most majestic
waterfalls Ive ever seen. Its not an overstatement, certainly not an attempt
to throw in hype to its moniker, which is the Little Niagara Falls of the
Philippines.
