CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Most of the people nowadays have a great interest in exploring the beauty of

nature not just those wonders which have already known to most of the people but

also those undiscovered natural wonders in the country. Traveling has undeniably

become the precious time for almost everyone to think, relax, observe and learn new

things as to culture, foods, and history of both the place and the people. One of the

most wonderful chronicles that has brought to the history of North Cotabato is the

majestic Asik-Asik falls. Gushing out from a cliff at the edge of a 200-meter flattened

hill, water crashes down in what seems to be music to the ears of everyone close to it.

Where the water comes from is still a mystery. Many has been attracted to witness

this mysterious-like spot making the Asik-Asik falls the top tourist attraction of
Alamada town in North Cotabato. Thus, the researchers decided to put up nipa huts

named: Campo de Kamalig to accommodate tourists.

It will be established in Sitio Dulao, Dado, Alamada, North Cotabato. The service

would be availed by those tourists who want to spend a night in the area especially

those who had a long way going through the place. Of course, the stay would not be

complete without the Filipino dishes and native delicacies that would also be served

in the dining hall where food stalls are situated. The stalls will be rented by potential

vendors of the locality. The food stall is not only exclusive for those tourists who are

staying but also to anyone who wanted to satisfy their cravings.
