Beautiful place to visit. I’m sure the residents in the area are living an enjoyable healthy life. I wonder what is behind that huge convent which is deemed the largest in Asia?
In the mid-1990s, when the internet was still at its infancy and when YT and FB were yet to be born, Cambugahay Falls was a name hardly ever mentioned by any townsfolk. Very few knew about its existence, no matter that the cascading waters have been around since ages and ages of moons ago. I had known and played around the banks of Cambugahay Falls back in the days of my youth. But swimming in it was a no-no... lest we take the risk of being dragged underwater by an "Ocoy" who ruled the waters and we would be gone forever... or so they said. Because of this myth, only very few locals dared the visit but most ignored its existence. Before this part of Siquijor Island's Eden was ever known in the world outside, the digital age was just also in its early stages so film photography was still the name of the game. t took hundreds of still pictures around it and innocently shared it on the internet for all to admire. I had since then. regretted with mixed feelings about that decision. Cambugahay Falls has since become a very popular destination both for local and "foreign" (non-locals) visitors. An avalanche of trekkers and the curious started searching for it, visited and then transformed the whole area into an environmental and uncontrolled mess that it is today. Much of its damage are irreversible that only nature can fix. Call it by God's grace but because of the pandemic, visits have been curtailed almost to a halt. It will be a slow process but nature for a change, is rebuilding the eco-system around its banks. Only the future can tell, how much and for how long it will take for the banks around these cascading waters to fully recover. I call to all the "SigBins" around our Isla, to help spread the word, promote and protect the eco-system and environment not only in Cambugahay Falls but all around our "Island of Fire.
Sending my full support...mga idol
