These are the same waterfalls which grab all the press and media spotlight like Maria Cristina Falls, Tinago Falls, Dodiongan Falls, and Mimbalot Falls. They are beautiful falls and deserve much of the press but they also attract crowds. <p align="justify">There are many spectacular waterfalls which get little media attention in Iligan. The reason for their privacy and lack of crowds is that they may be harder to access or hidden upon massive watershed and several rain forests in its topographic areas. One of them is Limunsudan Falls - the two-tiered waterfall said to be the Philippines' 2nd highest with the height of 870 feet, with the lower part cascading alone higher than the Maria Cristina Falls. <p align="justify">Limunsudan Falls never fails to amaze me and no matter how many photos or videos I see on the net, the more I'm captivated by its beauty. I really do need to get there. <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ECegZCE4DMAnYcwPVb3xNUPuP_G-3D-JnQkIVnN3H43AfFImpxJchL73qwyk4yviCZ2dMQFMm_4NoE_FTH9sPFz_btwVYC8ZfW27fTdQ8bBrhyphenhyphenFVD87BAFkIxXiW4iPkVAEsYhPlc54/s1600-h/DSC00433%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC00433" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="378" alt="DSC00433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7yUizGntxDaSFjoUtsSp_DyulQ5DZDPfEoTEsiQ0Ny6kXWH8QOwjR6L5T3HWwCLkN34T5-h-yML-3g3tnTZmp1v78OStI9MhGe9QDBVCFlPJr95aFt-LNFgfV7XkqFGSw4TujEnxp1Mo/?imgmax=800" width="284" border="0"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOaddHyYFQ5MNXHfgYngexbR07drJTFjhDlsC8lXp4En_VGwaJoxyugAuIQeVZnj217lyz3eTv2Pnckd0-212ukUaYx-tDEUz-5YwlV65_H4foNM_FQDWnYmsJ47n4cDcKS0mxdMEksY0/s1600-h/DSC00434%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC00434" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="377" alt="DSC00434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJgR_p0ZL3XIygrtcOmdM6OsyQwkEpkTSqe6uYga5Se7-AS-Iwh2zP1FH21Rwogdbpiryh_zgabVd3l_3-lhdMnxDSzh1Iz6xZPmz8X3oQNZvQIGH-7q5q1n7yGcq6n_wyXnf66G1B-g/?imgmax=800" width="284" border="0"></a> </p> <p align="justify">I usually wake-up at 6:00 in the morning but that day of May 18, 2014 was an exception.

After an hour of jolts and series of jerks, we finally arrived at Sitio Limunsudan of Barangay Rogongon. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmHwBIH-WvpQkb_3joOYEpZRZEysDEeDDQ2VTao4Rx_deKndklx3dLeb7v1e2nLDvj-Ao2qnjaLW5h_X1ZFkqe_PSbqHNx4cIFrSShZ36QK9cytklVm1WkcSqLcRQvY2ARBwge7bnlKWA/s1600-h/DSC00401%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC00401" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="144" alt="DSC00401" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHWotE01ZZjpFuJfS5a1grj2vLs7CP0eo4M8vwDpTkJ7hheI41ojy3MtrLA3jBizVVVRemd5cnL0I2diOedXSzFH4T34Xza7aItmzM-SiIZqW0X7dubEgVyCL8i7jRgI7tlvmTlJVhDVo/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbA_GO5TXaXK3niGlxYk8jw_itXs8e2oOZn0hqO1Xith6XZDZCIG1ZfVJ9UKQ_k6R2XrkCT37ZzwtFGJI4BqNust7rffK8JNpZnTCQIuFN8yYJAr7BQQtnq_JIy6dX3xnGo4yhlgj1Q-I/s1600-h/DSC00400%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC00400" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="144" alt="DSC00400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAT8dbzj0n_j83J25pGiMYt2-hUmRA_JGafW9azdCnjBmM7xQ-aa-xf3l3w6L5O_OsXILF-AG3nqFvYRnZhv1PxdXYZH13Jd_k7xBV2rOZjL2FBYl-QY2eafaziEH9fr_URErg8M4IdI/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFvRdTtFlRds1eqwB45eebwYfEeyXCyKW8PJ0ASekgDDyneKfuM3mIFoWHuIBfXskhB1muUN9NOBWV-_w9X26W2n8dkYErVGEsbgvMfgtut3FaCyGaUhdCgEVTn3SfE3Z5Rn7J62fqVjE/s1600-h/12%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="12" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="144" alt="12" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLTtNem1che6hg7KByBQ9Izhordt9lehf1DOnkT5HvtTK_GRuGTw3Em0ys-ZblemegXrohLRo6RXe7PrVwmhsOrvsHy-1ltk_xX5RxyMNBR0xAtxOu4HcTmElwy4i5BJzhG2wTc2umLqE/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a> </p> <p align="justify">What a nice surprise to see the villagers gathered to welcome us. We then alighted from the trucks and guided ourselves to the Tribal Hall. Inside the hall, we met the tribal leaders and performed the customary ritual prayer to ask the spirits of the forest for guidance and for protection from any harm on our way to the falls. For the Higaonon tribe in Limunsudan, this waterfalls is the most sacred place for them. This is their place of worship for Magbabaya (god). The ritual included offering of coins and of blood from live chickens to the spirits. <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLGzFoG6U2j0oqRxrYENCocBuzqUDP_TMjAPQdJdgKssxXHajOEcybodkyH8zRD1fBH7Q1_rEBOKMQbwxNKizQBp6zK4y97Do8pMKiWHPbyCMqrvo144EcsQiJr9oBJKwCTtOaXUrxiyc/s1600-h/13%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="13" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="129" alt="13" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg90sy0npuQZsEWPd3GrtLUeSSyVjhQkLAReyzSFuDiHd6yZ5WkjCQBtl7ItT3Hin_DJ-2_xrtTjCwAng4eirdfcjBSfurYNlTLWVZYWrGCHh6XRJScveaVkLbcIraRerMcUtEDmAvgaJ8/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1FDUiQINgvKJt187sZPkzDhU_CJULZ9YK1AE5xfl2ryQueXkixYop0TIqz1-usKAc8sL1EU7SUH-PWB06CgwJVtyhqSIX-0xRgZKYoW6VqTs4FMKjXADuHJGpCYukdrsjdnetQ8XL950/s1600-h/15%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="15" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="128" alt="15" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNgqO03S6hvhgGH9NiEyU9zUCTvyQiRKUabjj_9bOM1aRR3DZG8F16hnK1g_vDT2dBxCt8YlK5Iq1VTEZwWw2AJ0bNWZ9GMRTf0ysKWlYKcZTiQnNWnY5BDhQn6I10ujby_3OzfUoA1ng/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQAlBTuLyfEXIbZ5B2dpbu95K00c9aZl-uwDGBLjBou-UNbnGVB5XR4yxpjmGEm5I7A27LpKGekxLvMMCSSKg2OOvINtQGCVysYEkwaNziMGtyRzXvZDcd7w2fvE0WHMmcudqOvL0gvg8/s1600-h/14%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="14" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="128" alt="14" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9vNK8vifrEGautfePU9ueJjXACaGzn0gVWJK9wGGdXAA93F2OMg19x74GwoNmWNq7I_9Zay0FSOpMzmkMShIu5-S0AyknSQ_bseLRmS_Xn4PyPz108kFiXDQl_Vt0KOlDSTsWKjhNT3Q/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a> </p> <p align="justify">From the Tribal Hall, we continued our journey. This time, we were accompanied by some “Datus” on our way to the falls. It took us about 15 minutes of bumpier ride (again) until we reached the parking area. We all got down from the truck and started to trek for another 15- 20 minutes. Along the way, one can notice that the trail was cleared from obstacles and steps were carved on the slopes for an easier climb. Thanks to the advance party of the army who did it for us. <p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSu6ivxtit1ijhOqmf7X-GIRh3REIcdk75f9jqt7oeflySQecRQxgio8wSdAAMz0iGamCZJKkjFFU7EBNMuGMlGIbjEHv0Zk_qwVvqqQx4iVJaQL42wCw0Tx28xxf60OQURZhivmKjtU0/s1600-h/17%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="17" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="128" alt="17" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOUtDrgT4B2cinCR2bh88D9NHOqc1cRKGhskaez1B5H6rWOMDI6e8GhrJy1FDl5V9v0xjPt_Wc5cMlaZw3GSLeZfdS4_WcJ9jyUCNiBbcMo4SVgz2BpjPu505kn8NOenNxF1xTYoYvoQ/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuLBTcFrfzqITymiFq2IlemldTyRkwHMfSYkt88gunu4URjnT-iwGvoHUFr4aOf-DUhXBVEkHEcMM15UFMR0gIfq1qnoEohWGY3rTlgHhY6fNoNsO19-q7ARrY8Ed0qib97vNRfMJUZE/s1600-h/DSC00417%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC00417" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="128" alt="DSC00417" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTA1Z-oXQFsbkfl2gQouqQu4n5gfw_Bfr6MYuQYOS2-cPjo5MHpdDny6kbft2W7HtMHe_CraBSQsIMcy7BFdwPDfXbBmGpv8vL6If2ZKe2K7TBd3neamVfud1XK-a8QGtSN-rMw52fZXc/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCs8AEHxIzBTb3w7P3EPrWndrBNVIZ07hSuAHdphAbK1AeAaLkphyphenhypheneL-O3vzXuAnqsmJQXVZ0F3Yg1Tz18Lwyjsi2QzsoaB2uA2hBlk6__X4b557MSrmqUN9JINbo7XKHQCcBgVSkpCbA/s1600-h/18%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="18" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="128" alt="18" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2beKEWKnqn4seC8XGkh1R0tVJKP9QSr8TTNggOOxuzGeDv4VADLIn80XlFxuy8X87RrJBz6mq-aSyo-FOjiHcg9kcQUrl-ypHbv9hdHHShRff3Bxb7LRcb-IMXosFRQUqF5BSu6Uudmg/?imgmax=800" width="191" border="0"></a> </p> <p align="justify"><br>Finally, we reached the viewing area where one can see the unobstructed wondrous creation of Mother Nature – the breathtaking <strong>Limunsudan Falls</strong>.

It was so spectacular that the combination of rivers crashing over cliffs falling into pools of water (not one but two tiers of falling waters); the cloud of mist hanging in the air – it is all therapeutic mentally and physically. Looking at the falls was one of the most satisfying sightseeing adventure I ever had. The journey is just as satisfying as the destination. <p align="justify">_______________________________ <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ju2_IyROJ5YmeS8EpNqD0p9yx-KwyFHmY2WZAG5KGIN9nci4uEJ93Uwg-quM04S1oyjfqgofJ8SKf1q9IJAhDiZbC2VeeSXkJYJS-ojNhNdJzpni7svmm3hsGijtic9mTujVJjzdsWU/s1600-h/marcoscaratao%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img title="marcoscaratao" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="382" alt="marcoscaratao" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgI0J0v2PyQdTJVFISMV9hKOBoB56L5gwbqQMB2CSVLVkZJfvLCJYB8VlEMlLwBjQ-GcRnXBaEtHlvyD1HaiTHMeWkuRrD4r_lM9ydl_aYL8lUhgsc4z32covQ75pFBJkZdtPFSNblmig/?imgmax=800" width="574" border="0"></a> <br><font size="1">Family picture of WAT 3.0 participants</font> <p align="justify"><em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQVfxLlGrxiwpd-Ge2ifdTOtghqC0RtWChIy9QlGPQCs5cWX-f7eVR63yBQ2rVgRJo0Yj9fGteBPJgovCJ_M8Radbvban1tyCX6pM72OPevXQ1cx8xBssDEOE1O3-f_85LOssklBqM0E/s1600-h/WAT4.jpg"><img title="WAT" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="160" alt="WAT" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVnuW9NhS-LZ-vqEvG9oVxrbxXa4CA8MrFSnUYkO_qsLsw9nD6TcC8fkHagdzrmDkLTccjcf2kvNqgpjy6eOcTnvYg0fp1a_onowk3eZym6ccuWT0KxLBIclJ_hZS2Eo1AnLO1tDHGPKU/?imgmax=800" width="238" align="left" border="0"></a></em></a><em> A big congratulations to Iligan Bloggers Society (IBS) , the sponsors, the military, and to all the bloggers who took part in this year’s waterfalling event – the </em><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wat3"><em>#WAT3</em></a><em> Thank you IBS for the tremendous effort to make the event a success.

The place also served as the jumping-off point for the first waterfalling adventure which was scheduled on that gloomy afternoon. After some “hi-hellos” and picture takings, we started to gather our things and excitedly boarded the vehicle that was assigned to take us to our first destination – Dodiongan Falls.</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQsnyEhGi234jKWLhtyG4EKYlVbAsenw4F0JTDTHnLdjHf5r1U9w4wNjknx9DskYlk7trsspb1HUSzH0fOV_Qo-HCS_EK4WxWH-GVHYMNx2RfrRtBQN8nYtvBoerV9nKIkj5xVrPiOFQA/s1600-h/dodiongan19.jpg"><img title="dodiongan1" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="dodiongan1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgynYJNFzUeREU9N81W4obb8EcVYBJ6TGYqzSvCfBTZtQToq__FCdHBEWEKUteOaqxBzBfhayyOAa54qmdwKrBO4oVA1mgA3S3fd9OnLiohpBlUlxu9IbdFuTwV8DSCqERpnf7J6ZDW9Iw/?imgmax=800" width="454" height="342"></a><br><em><font size="2">Dodiongan Falls is located in Brgy.

Everyone looked a little wary but it did not dampen the spirit of excitement of the eleven (11) waterfalls chasers. Not minding the bad weather and the bumpy ride, we continued to get to know more of our guest bloggers from Manila, Cebu, Ilo-Ilo and Agusan. Sharing the same passion, it was light and easy for everyone to build an atmosphere of camaraderie. A few minutes passed and we reached Sitio Dodiongan in Brgy. Bonbonon. Despite the continued rain, everyone excitedly alighted the vehicle and with the help of the two locals as guide, we started our first step towards discovering a different Dodiongan Falls. <p align="justify">Considering the bad weather at that time, the trek to the waterfalls was a test of one’s strength, flexibility, and agility. From the drop off point, we started our trek by the riverbank, crossed the raging river twice, and together through the rocks and mud, pushed ourselves as hard as we could just to come face to face with the falls. <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZgVx6a411WUcZ2qhdFCIy3FNc0G5BzZHA2UJstwwD9uOCpe-R0bMHXklxHr7onHHTW00BviA59QFw3OFaFEQ4rjHQBEeHJLJdKxhTJ7_UNUEQUoSRn5kQ9ws38y5JkZJBQ_VOeJxs6fw/s1600-h/Dodiongan11.jpg"><img title="" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxWWdLPtieI6RKicJSwmxFc6MPxo6pozjF1bgly9k0bqOTrRQPd4vVrcR5Kbt7Okvp1IbRNqgZ8yVrqm_kxHhfIE8jXlj3w5Eg_2zqpjg0Aw3Bu-8DMplFvHMbZBwTEPMBQmpyJ64DTKY/?imgmax=800" width="454" height="604"></a> <p align="justify">The falls looked frightening with its raging waters.

It is categorized by the large amount of activities tourists undertake during their trip, and the large amount of interaction with the natural environment of their destination. Typically adventure tourism will involve something that the tourist would normally not have chance to partake in any other day - activities like white-water rafting, bungee jumping, mountain climbing etc. Adventure tourism is someone, anyone that is seeking thrill and adventure to spice up and make their experiences more exciting. Like in Iligan City, one can go on a <strong>Waterfalling</strong>.</p> <p align="justify">Iligan is a waterfalls paradise. It hosted more of beautiful cascading waters than any city in the country. Most popular are the Tinago Falls, Maria Cristina Falls, and Mimbalot Falls maybe because the locations of these waterfalls are very accessible and are just minutes away from the city center. But there’s a lot more of awesome waterfalls that are worth visiting like Dodiongan Falls and Limunsudan Falls.

The activity will be participated by bloggers who are healthy, adventurous, and up for a long weekend of waterfall chasing.</p> <p align="justify">WAT 3.0 is, by far, the most ambitious undertaking of this annual IBS event as it features the Philippines’ 2nd highest waterfalls—Limunsudan. Aside from Limunsudan Falls, WAT 3.0 will also showcase other majestic waterfalls including Tinago Falls, Dodiongan Falls, Mimbalut Falls, and the legendary Maria Cristina Falls.</p> <p align="justify">For more details, visit <a href="http://iliganbloggers.com/event-waterfalling-adventure-tour-3-0/">Waterfalling Adventure Tour 3.0.</a></p> <p>_______________________ <p><em><font size="2">“The WAT series of events by Iligan Bloggers Society offer a great way for those not familiar with Iligan City to enjoy a fun filled and adventurous visit. As a multi time visitor, Iligan has become a favorite vacation spot for me even though it is half the world away from where I live. For those that live in other parts of The Philippines, these WAT by Iligan Bloggers Society provide a great introduction to Mindanao with the spotlight on Iligan City and its wondrous Waterfalls ! Additionally, there is so much more to Iligan City than the fantastic waterfalls, it is a place that may very well keep you coming back for lots more. I know it has for me as I plan for my visit number 8 later this year ! </font></em> <p><em><font size="2">Iligan City and IBS WAT </font></em> <p><em><font size="2">Simply Amazing !”</font></em> <p><em>- Bob New York</em></p> Alingatonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10359892732803738602noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519266430354183676.post-4014197946185431112014-05-04T07:48:00.001+08:002014-05-04T07:55:18.744+08:00Project Watch: City Public Plaza Improvements<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8MFnJJAv8xRu13FLh168miBekLdr7_NRXFweIgj8S9ZP_mWqqk63p7geG98K8JABjs1ZjFFjBW3imTe2iXPVn19IoNsXNKJ7QrCsJ7tUXdi6ojVKP62vWRXcaGePiQsXJOmHW-paeV4/s1600-h/plaza27.jpg"><img title="plaza2" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" height="369" alt="plaza2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHAUpgv-r4LSpADetX4qEg_QufjsEzPso1cmp8xqE5sGmidkjKPnd4AiMjnSFOy7AK-5sPTNpxfj1t6btsDBLdjex1DO3Bv0pD7Qy9UwQlWQpILFfPPOEo4kwEkXAkxpM1_DN9VwAYNmU/?imgmax=800" width="504" border="0"></a></p> <p>One of the landmarks in Iligan City is the public plaza also known as Rizal Park.

The points show the location of the storm at 6-hour intervals.<br></em></p> <p align="justify">On December 12, 2011, a developing area of low pressure had persisted about 945 km south-southeast of Guam. Situated along the southern edge of a subtropical ridge, the system tracked steadily westward towards the Philippines. The following day, the system was classified as a tropical depression. Maintaining a westward track, the depression was forecast to intensify slowly over the following three days. By December 14, convection redeveloped over the low and the system has attained tropical storm status - Tropical Storm Washi (international designation).</p><a name='more'></a> <p align="justify">Early on December 15, Washi entered the Philippine area of responsibility. Upon doing so, PAGASA began issuing advisories and assigned the cyclone with the local name Sendong. On December 16, Sendong reached its peak strength as a severe tropical storm and made its first landfall along the east coast of Mindanao. Upon landfall, Sendong shifted its path at the last minute. It shifted slightly north and made its landfall in Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur instead of Boston, Davao Oriental. It passed through Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro and towards Iligan Bay. <p align="justify">After passing Mindanao, Sendong weakened due to land interaction, but the storm regained its strength quickly in the Sulu Sea. Late on December 17, Sendong crossed Palawan and arrived in the South China Sea, and the system moved out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility on December 18. Washi weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated on December 19, because of cool, dry air in association with the Northeast Monsoon. <p align="justify"><br><strong>Death and Devastation in Iligan City<br><br></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQ_QMuUTVZrAtby3ikIhbkN57yxGegnlJBHHdbE4mfSnqXWrS63m7fkNbq6UBING06ttNq-aeLRIy9IZdAfiwI9IG0ut8IZJHvqJHBJIdYCJDTxuIlUKEPZtdgDVL62UhzZ-uxMWgBnM/s1600-h/map2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><strong><img title="map2" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="358" alt="map2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYh9I6uNbPzeaOZjkat2gGwpV3qg85_-YAjORMSAYxXlOtPgyUX9Skmv0caNXCPKIwtheiSA0IGng2RbIRr7GJGoIqmgbzqR7MLLLXB_b3tTylvCJurlT4du97vV-F2rOr_t23dQCSaJQ/?imgmax=800" width="550" border="0"></strong></a><strong> <br></strong><em>Those along large rivers, steep slopes and river valleys are instant catch basins and would act as funnels channeling floodwaters from the mountains to the populated low lying areas of the city. </em></p> <p><img height="414" src="http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/383081_351819878164268_199976960015228_1463508_1175787416_n.jpg" width="550"></p> <p><img height="414" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/377397_351820118164244_199976960015228_1463512_2102247555_n.jpg" width="550"> <br><br><img height="414" src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/408207_351819091497680_199976960015228_1463495_1504265456_n.jpg" width="550"> <br><br><img height="414" src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/394531_351820274830895_199976960015228_1463515_413161131_n.jpg" width="550"><br><br>Since the rains fell on landslide-prone areas and/or where the natural forest had been illegally logged , the heavy rains were able to run off quickly and create devastating flash floods.<br><br><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZDDagaUs8lmcBbb_hEf71K8t273taZlOTxwiy3LA5oB5sF-5VuRZoi_xRnVsZK4yT0nlTVX-PgZhyUKIwkwLWv7ZDblC6bk9na4QxVDTPeHAMSeXfhpPC3f2tE97gkQBt_aGFmDYL7k/s1600-h/hinaplanon%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="412" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIZiQl_8gwgflsfYl1lDGZ3w3HRPYo-1nGscHBAy2QTPLEHLaue8vbZb0zt673JbQ5VlZPCp8ogYrA60FC4aN4_uVP6LVvndCglfnw2OM9b9d3bd-f57he3t3j-jXSJNj_rlzr6ufz5Y/?imgmax=800" width="550" border="0"></a> <br><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGuGDD5Ivrgd0ehyphenhyphenyoB1JlAjUMcwgxGMTsOK6uG9VZZycgOcz7Q_C6VpSJqEQekCGvkAySS9GajUAlkpWQQklkzXFDyzDwpFgKOyF8l11D7KYaH9YrxUWkqmt0289RFFVwbyeay3KyOWU/s1600-h/mandulog1%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="412" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnOMkNlV7z8R0bshTr7EJahA8eB0VmA0WuTI2MB08njOAGpI30U85yBTDqjQEBsmiJ7hZJQDiUGlJS9se2rbImrTxnDud8U83ol5Ux6Lj2fR8GaFjn1MMeHnjp3p0OrCdjj3Hkqd3bak/?imgmax=800" width="550" border="0"></a> <br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhajZH-E9lInCHwXg_BN8TFHmf6DM5_7mQsP2zpBHQvAgMaL9Kc3bRmenJTMCGDuIC5kJL-QLZkbY18QGjbhzN_0UKMmjZHXl1ONnRMp9LooD_qNEPOOK3LuTOmHn6WwUL2aPh-mujvEkQ/s1600-h/bayug%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="412" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ohyphenhyphenoC9UTTVZq9m-WVi60DanwmBzs6ispHvYIyBJkE7FHgiYt1sNx-16eNj4vHcWGDis0Dk4Eyw5MlpYSo2xEcg7Bhwc-Pmnq77fur0My0zY_vLKeF0VhwPBtPd7671k0GCwspMYXzBE/?imgmax=800" width="550" border="0"></a> </p> <p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqZx00GmBGq1HAltwbtmJQQ-0GQ4sKbhxdsFuYW84LIh5HdOhXFowITy_OxPLcJf9jICzeIAZQQu9J4pCvmaWMz07lHK79adLiYM3temCDYTKT8sgwBiEnMXLpqOSYtaxml3DLO3YqP54/s1600-h/mandulogriver%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="412" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjILZlIqu_U2Zi4zZmL9GjU2PzPykPUCIh-uMnm2XyhH1xKy_omyF2Gk3X5-7TxMNWaqIkNCTapqvmnvS1ntUCRf9jS-rZ0EwNR9f3DDdUEm3bJ3vFJXl4u99eYeN3i5q6FwHvxco-Newc/?imgmax=800" width="550" border="0"></a> </p><strong> <p align="justify"><br></strong>This part of the Philippines is not usually pounded by strong typhoons and the city is unaccustomed to tropical storms and didn't anticipate that a typhoon with a signal number 2 will pour such amount of rainfall. Sendong was not an especially intense storm but the torrential rains and resulting mudslides caught Iligan off guard. Since the storm hit in the middle of the night, and affected an unprepared population that had no flood warning system in place, the death toll was tragically high. Hundreds were swept to their deaths in one of the worst calamities to strike the city in decades.

Iligan is not usually hit by strong typhoon and a mere tropical storm is not going to do much damage as so everyone thought. Nobody suspected that it could get worse.</p><a name='more'></a> <p align="justify">That night of December 16, I can still clearly remember how we (our officemates) practiced “Kampana ng Simbahan” for our upcoming Christmas Party (caroling contest) the following night. Everyone was in high spirit, giving his best hoping to bring home the bacon. It was raining outside then. Later, the girls started to worry about the weather and decided to get home. The boys stayed for a drinking session while waiting for the rain to subside. It was past 10PM when the weather got worse. The storm started to dump heavy rain and the howling winds made the boys decide to stay overnight. It took several rounds of drinks when one after another called it a night and went to bed.</p> <p align="justify">It was around 2:00 AM the following day and everyone was caught by surprise when the flood water started to flow inside the house. With the help of the boys, we started evacuating some of our stuff to high ground. Unfortunately, only a few were saved. There’s raging water coming from everywhere and the water level has been rising too quickly. I was about to go back into the house to get and save more things when I saw the water has risen to a shoulder-level high. I was dumbfounded at the sight of our belongings, some floating while others were a meter underwater.</p> <p align="justify">I lived in Poblacion for more than a decade already and as far as I can remember, no similar flash flood ever hit our area. The large amount of rainfall caused the creek near our place to swell, dumping water into the streets of Barangay Poblacion. I was fine until these questions crept into my mind - How about those barangays along the river banks of Mandulog and Tubod River? What had happened to them?… the thought shook me at my core, uncontrollably.

But local stories and even legends are abound trying to piece together many hazy information from the distant past that give ideas on why the barangay is called Kiwalan. The most popular was the word “kilawan”. It is said that the early main occupation of the early Kiwalanons was fishing. After a day’s work, these fishermen would gather and have a “kinilaw,” a fish concoctions mixed with local herbs and spices. Usually they would gather at the original site of “kilawan” which is an island of mangroves at the Kiwalan Cove right fronting the present site of PILMICO. That place was then referred to as “kilawanan” and as time passed the term “kilawanan,” evolved into “kiwalan”. </p> <p align="justify"><img src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/39779_138344119535838_131496043553979_170092_7132591_n.jpg" width="520" height="390"><br><font size="2"><em>Kilawan Festival is an annual festivity as part of the Kiwalan Tourism Week in preparation for the upcoming San Roque Feast.</em></font></p> <p align="justify">Another account suggests that the name was taken from the Maranao term “pig-ku’alan”. It means the place where the wastes of the rattan used for making mats and baskets were thrown. The early Maranao settlers are engaged in basketry and mat weaving as their occupation.<br><br><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/181570_198965626783623_143762552303931_778102_694539_n.jpg" width="520" height="329"></p> <p><strong>Original Location of Kiwalan and Its Transfer</strong></p> <p align="justify">Kiwalan or “kilawan” or “pig-ku’alan” is originally located at where PILMICO stands today. The old name of the present Kiwalan was Bae-ilo. In the 1930’s, at the height of logging concessions in Kiwalan, a Kiwalan Lumber Company originally owned by the Araullos and was later on transferred to the Paderangas was established at the original site of “Kiwalan”. When the logging concessions were moved to Kabacsanan and to nearby hinterland areas, said lumber company was transferred to Bae-ilo exactly to where Granex is now located thus opening the logging roads from Kiwalan to Bunawan, Kabacsanan and Hindang. This road is now named as Jose F. Yanez Road. People who would come to Bae-ilo refer to the place as Kiwalan Lumber or shortly “Kiwalan.” It resulted to the lost of the old name Bae-ilo. Old land titles and tax declarations still bear Bae-ilo, the old name of Kiwalan. Later, the Kiwalan Lumber Company was transferred to Camague and now there is a place there named KILUMCO which is the acronym of that lumber company.</p> <p><strong><img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/285115_266722540007931_143762552303931_1158941_5669244_n.jpg" width="520" height="375"><br><br><br>Origin of the Name Bae-ilo</strong></p> <p align="justify">The old name of Kiwalan which is “Bae-ilo” is taken from different legends and stories. Firstly, that the name Bae-ilo was taken from the visayan transliteration of the word “baylo” or barter trade. Because of Kiwalan’s location, people from the hinterland areas would come to the place to sell or barter their various produce. Even today this tradition is still practiced through the Kiwalan’s regular Saturday flea market. Recent researches provide that the word is from a Duma-an dialect meaning “Bailo” which also means barter. The Duma-an tribes may have started their settlement in Iligan City long before the Spaniards arrived in the country. Secondly, that the name was taken from the word “Bae Ilo” referring to an “orphaned woman”. According to the legend that long ago a Datu and his wife died leaving their only daughter orphaned. Thus “Bae” means woman and “Ilo” means orphaned. Finally, that the name was taken from the legend of the Princess of Bae-ilo who later on become an enchantress. According to the legend, when this Princess takes a bath at the mouth of the Baeilo Creek and her hair flows from the mouth of the river up to the sea then a child will be drown. Accordingly, the locals called her as “ang babae sa ilog” or shortly “baeilo.” </p> <p><img src="http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/37764_149073141772872_143762552303931_440609_1223714_n.jpg" width="520" height="392"><br><br><strong>Old Names of Known Places in Kiwalan</strong></p> <p align="justify">Aside from “kilawan”, “pig-kua’alan”, “bailo” or “bae-ilo”, there are still some places in Kiwalan whose original names are still known or are still used such as “Nadtangkupan”, the old Maranao name of the present day Hardin (Purok 16). “Nadtangkupan” means surrounded by mountains. <br>Matu-ug which is the name of the creek that bounds Kiwalan with Acmac came from the root word “tu-ug” which is a Duma-an term meaning “nipa” and Matu-ug means “kanipa-an” or there are many “nipa”.</p> <p>Sitio Lerop is derived from the Maranao term Lu’dup meaning off and on. They are referring to the irregular flow of water from the Tubigan Spring.</p> <p align="justify">There is no Lumad Kiwalanon who had not been to Panaghuyan. It was once a semi-forested area where its fresh water from tiled stones flowed and was once used for drinking and other domestic use by all Kiwalanons. This is the place where the Kiwalanons would commune with nature and other supernatural beings. Despite its distance from the Baeilo or the poblacion proper, the Kiwalanons would go there. According to Florentino Condrado, the name Panaghuyan was derived from the root word “taghuy” or whistle. A legendary bird which he (Condrado) forgot the name would whistle to the people fetching water or taking a bath at the spring. Nobody would attest that he has seen the bird but some would say that they have heard its whistle.</p> <p align="justify">Kalubihon whose area covers part of Kiwalan was derived from the name of the famous Sultan Kalubi who ruled this area up to Cagayan long before the Spaniards arrived. The Sarip family of present day Kiwalan would refer to Sultan Kalubi as their ancestor.</p> <p align="justify">No one could determine the origin of the place Kabalalahan which started from Purok No. 2 up to the entire area of Acmac at NAREDICO. Old folks consider Kabalalahan as a part of Kiwalan. There is also a place in Kiwalan which was once named Maranding which is located at the right portion of the mouth of the Matu-ug Creek.</p> <p><br><strong>Elected Barangay Officials</strong></p> <p align="justify">The officials of Kiwalan who acted as Tenientes del Barrio were Lorenzo Baluran, Leon Daguisonan, Ignacio Pabillar and Claro Pabillar. When Kiwalan was officially separated from Sta. Filomena, its first elected Barrio Captain was Santiago Contemplo. Contemplo served Kiwalan for over 20 years. He remained undefeated and was succeeded by Roman Ares when Contemplo stepped down after the fall of Marcos and for health reasons. In 1989 collegial election, Piladelfo C. Villaroya got the highest votes and was chosen, by law, as the Barangay Chairman. Villaroya served from 1989 up to 1997. In 1997, Villaroya was succeeded by Roman B. Etom as Punong Barangay and he served from 1997 up to 2002.</p> <p align="justify">There is no existing record on the succession of the various Barangay Kagawads in Kiwalan. Some are only identified by their names such as Mr. Eufevio Jimenez, Juana Bado Tingson, Honey Raagas, Campong, Fidela Condrado, Fidel Nabong, Tomas Nabong, Felix Canete, Luciana Ermac, Arturo O. Pabillar, Ms. Kwan, Isidro Roperos and others. Before the establishment of the Kabataan Barangay by then President Marcos, there was once a Youth and Sports Committee in the Barangay Council and the recorded Chairman at that time was Luis Bado Tingson. The first Kabataan Barangay President was Sherlita Lariosa. She was succeeded by Rosa Lariosa who was in turn succeeded by Evelyn Contemplo.<br><br><br><strong>Past Leaders of the Barangay</strong></p> <p>1965-1987 Santiago Contemplo</p> <p>1987-1989 Roman Ares</p> <p>1989-1997 Piladelfo C.

According to the late Panulong Ganat, who was born on 1874, his late father was a descendant of late Sultan Kalubi, chieftain of Balangay Dalipuga when the Spaniards established a colony in Iligan.<br><br>Sultan Kalubi’s Torogan is situated in Purok 4, Sitio Kalubihon were traces of the old Mosque, cemetery and the site of the Torogan can be relocated. Sultan Kalubi had three (3) children. His sultanate kingdom or the political boundaries of his dominion ranges from Initao River to Mandulog River. One of his children is Princess Dali. Princess Dali was an extraordinary beautiful maiden and skillful in swordsmanship like her two ‘baganis’ or warrior brothers. The two brothers died in defending their kingdom against Moro bandits who wanted to enslave their dominion. On their death, Princess Dali acted as the head of several ‘baganis’ or warriors defending their kingdom.<br><br>When Sultan Kalubi grew old, he wants that his daughter got married. Princess Dali being born brave and warrior agree on a condition that she must be defeated in a fair fight. The winner will become the husband of Princess Dali and will be crowned as the new sultan. No one defeats Princess Dali and that’s the reason why Princess Dali became famous and that even Spanish soldiers were hesitant to trade with her.</p> <p align="justify">One day a wounded man is seen adrift on the shoreline of Tag-ibo. The man was treated and become a slave. It turn out that the survivor has an extraordinary prowess and excel in martial arts that even Princess Dali cannot defeat. Skilled warrior of the past is an exception of a rule or norms of conduct that the slave class can marry a noble class. He became the husband of Princess Dali and was crowned as the new sultan.<br><br>The Spaniards came and was able to befriend the couple Princess Dali and Chieftain Puga. They established trade relations and were able to neutralize the area for the Spaniards presumed that it is a staging point for attacks of the natives against the Spanish forts. Under the leadership of Chieftain Puga, the natives lived peacefully. Both the couple (Dali and Puga) and Sultan Kalubi died mysteriously or due to an occurrence of an epidemic. The place was called ‘Dalipuga’ in memory of the exploits of the couple that open trade relations to external forces and it became a trade center and expands such activities to ‘Ba-ilo’ a Sitio of Barangay Kiwalan. BAILO is a native word for barter.</p><strong> <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVk9r_EF0p369ezo6dkOOW9_dmzVu97ti-d_evnTukQp_0EJ3w_aM8QmyWSlB7F4ILC-c_Siia9fokNzsPCi6GfCu4lao8s1Z-NzAGl-ytgQDoEQJXf4Y1zuX0Y9XemlrY1vpPpr6k1QY/s1600-h/dali2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="dali2" border="0" alt="dali2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgepzbWp4GP0hmt-j7niWZaBUqPlCjSlls64XfS30Y_PAPRLaOekdYm-jRhsoaSslSyT_pZClGe8dBTZxBlibBNcsK2L0OtH-Nj7or56Ig0d1kjhjItVPSQJbtguD-wG8MmWNeVcCFBkHs/?imgmax=800" width="535" height="372"></a><br><br>Legal Basis of Creation<br></strong> <br>Barangay Dalipuga was created under Resolution No. 366 series of 1966; under City Ordinance No. 321 and approved on Jan 20, 1967.<br></p> <p><strong>Entry of Settlers of different Ethnic Group<br></strong><br>Prior to the American Regime Dalipuga is already a trading center since the days of Chieftain Dali, the establishment of that trade relations from outside or other parts of Mindanao triggered farming activities. Some of the traders brought their families in Dalipuga and settled down and/or have intermarriage with the natives. The Philippine Bill in 1902 declaring that Non-Christian natives could not own lands more than 8 hectares forces the natives to adopt Christian family names (particularly those coming from the colonized islands i.e. Luzon and Visayas). These processes lose the cultural identity of the natives. Those who opted to remain with a natives’ family name, owned or registered land only in small amount while those with Christian origin owns a homestead comprising more than 16 hectares. The Bill also, attracts more settlers used by the Americans in pacification campaign against Moro rebellion by peopling the Moro Provinces of these “Christian settlers”.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip0SFgcZOTGZv74mEqy1SUy2Zgh2RrgF5uXtNS1_xdf95c-LAuD_ePJsC3SPGgL2vbo9IP4uBG20QU7q0XPewsj0CpbLHB5jl9dzRncMz4h8SZzXPws5B8UC_8e7_a1IbHD9ZDexQnEck/s1600-h/dali4%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="dali4" border="0" alt="dali4" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcDp1yDNPYH5uKHXqdr_4_Jslcmof25CE1jGuwiu4xAlMs_PtHdYUCxZbEMElTwvYZyXTklW9Ckd5GKS_HeCiJUbX0ViVvPe2jORpbbepBpyGxzH4UkmKPWWZSILo-YGiewlnILkvaPk/?imgmax=800" width="535" height="352"></a><br><br><strong>Ethnic Origin of the People and Dialects<br></strong> <br>The original inhabitants of Dalipuga are believed to be members of the Higa-unon Tribe, who are presently found in the mountain communities of Iligan and Misamis Oriental.

These people are relatives and have their roots in Misamis Oriental particularly, Initao, Naawan, Manticao and Luga-it, they came to settle at Dalipuga due to the attraction of American Educational System introduced in early 1900 because Dalipuga is the first complete elementary school in the region. These people and some Settlers had served in the Second World War as members of the guerillas fighting against the Japanese Invasion Forces.<br><br>The Mestizo Maranaos (product of the intermarriage with Maranao who speak different language from the Higa-unon but of common ancestry), the descendants of Sultan Kalubi like; the Ganat’s, Dagalangit, Sarip, Datu-imam, Madali, Badi, Gangawan, Embaay and Dulag.

Skilled and semi-skilled workers and their families from Leyte, Samar, Cebu, and Negros Provinces and from Luzon came to settle in Dalipuga. And the third wave of migration occurred when Dalipuga became a population center per identification of the City Planning and Development Office of the City of Iligan. Subdivisions or housing units are established and it became a government’s relocation area. Presently Dalipuga has a population of more than Thirteen Thousand (13,000) people.<br><br>These various political and cultural influences create biases among the peoples of different tribes or ethnicity.

After the first world war (1908), there was a hunter named Sgt. Miguel Canoy, an army man of the U.S. armed forces assigned in Iligan district, who was fond of roaming around by horse to the forested area in the western part of Iligan district. One day, he met Datu Rascal Maruhom, a lumad in the area who told him that the forest belongs to Iligan District. In another occasion, the hunter Sgt. Canoy met another lumad whom he called Lanto Didatu and became his hunting buddy and guide in many of their hunting sessions.</p> <p align="justify">One day, they decided to go and roam around the forested area to hunt birds. Sgt. Canoy, armed with his 22 caliber rifle, hit a bird from the tree named “buru-buru” . Accordingly, the name of the bird was taken from the Maranao word “buru-buru” which means “spring”, because the area have plenty of spring waters. </p> <p align="justify">Originally, Sergeant Canoy came from Cebu. Every time he went home, he often talked about the place he had been for hunting and invited his friend to go with him back to Iligan. A lot were convinced and saw themselves the beauty of the place particularly the buru-buru. Later, Sgt. Miguel Canoy named the place “Buru-un” taken from the name of the bird “buru-buru”.</p><strong> <p><br><font size="4">Historical Background and Legal Basis of the Creation <br></font></p></strong> <p align="justify">In 1915, there was a couple named Eloy Nieves and Apay de la Calzada Samson, who were the first settlers of Timoga, a sitio of Buru-un. Eloy Nieves is a close relative of Sgt. Miguel Canoy from Cebu, who was hired as an entertainer, a singer composer, in the U.S. military camp in Iligan. Nieves was able to compose a song “tubig sama sa tinunaw nga tingga”, means water like a melting lead. Eloy described the place rich in “spring waters”. Later, Eloy Nieves named the place “Timoga”, an acronym of such song. Then they left Timoga on 1921.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZG_wbaCG4VYmYmMPq-kOvmd36-iGqPaeb1MZsBg3Mvq2MjekIrt-EVlDzgjKbwx9eMA2Ff8SDNTIJvhveMpSLnzONuV5OSDigtA8-x-QBD0C6928YXwYb8hUawPyfvU9zYIQ7XN4ns8/s1600-h/buru-un9%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="buru-un9" border="0" alt="buru-un9" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglCLLEuaRs6azciVjqv1NsThBfuJ8RtVVlrjZPuIgwJXjCTOuYlBfHcV5Y8s_VJh2IxfxmvglYOM5OR2PDGQxPOKQKY_U2kWQjM3XmEcwtI_paSwoDKRLZA-aNIx5bOKPpKVma8zHGSsg/?imgmax=800" width="550" height="412"></a><br>Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House<br><br>In 1922, another couple lived in Timoga in the person of Engr.

Burgos St., Poblacion, Iligan City. It opened its doors to the public on December 15, 2007. Its minimalist all-white interior design is heavenly. It provides a safe haven for those who just want to laze around and de-stress after a long day’s work – a relaxing place to finish work via their free Wi-Fi connection. And the music (bossa nova) playing in the background adds to the serenity that a coffee-lover always seeks in a coffee shop.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhocvRaQUAKtxaIxCrgjNQJ0j-tgEWtcUgFUXgQK9qKlZJtsqhvSB78YuN4Xh2IbY4UX-KVVb8B_la6TwKATxUxW_7t4tmIhyomd5OFF3nK4MgDKaTNOnWHBmWtLxcYyqqRe9XbFaPD3Dc/s1600-h/DSC01002%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmdDZJGw5YC8UHYhBtkZrVBcmo4gdBYbW6KPAcnICmnLstEbdZ6O-yS8bohpfKsRqWAJJ1RLT29rA3ygjSXrdroKvOZPmn-C-vJSh7ozD7g1qF6ywXyjfd-mNvMZmBJiMlGLsbfX7ZJaQ/?imgmax=800" width="420" height="320"></a></p> <p>They also cater to the diet-conscious folks.

Day 2 was another wave of equally exciting and fun-filled day for everyone. The summit organizer, Iligan Bloggers Society, Inc., in partnership with the City’s Tourism Office has provided a short but informative guided tour to help participants, Iliganons and visitors alike, “find one’s bearings” of the city’s famous tourists’ spots. Of course! Explore Iligan was there too to say these lines once again:<a name='more'></a> <p align="center"><strong><font size="3">Welcome and have fun exploring Iligan!</font></strong><br><br> <strong>Together, let’s explore the charm of one of the Philippines’ promising destinations - ILIGAN CITY. </strong></p> <p align="justify"><br>There were two guides to assist the tourists but as soon as everyone boarded the transport, courtesy of Cong.

When some of them was unjustifiably entertained by the government officials especially the important needs of the barangay on that time, but still they fight for it and show that sooner or later they’ll find the right way. As they close their eyes and open their heart and soul and call God’s name they were able to surpass it. And that’s what they are reaping now, the fruit of sacrifice. And even again as they look toward to a new beginning they think of two things in life that is, progress and development. </p> <p><br><strong><font size="4">Past Leaders of the Barangay</font></strong> <p>Teniente del Barrio:</p> <ul> <li>Braulio Ragasajo <li>Mr. Quintin Sabacajan <li>Damiano Edrozo </li></ul> <p>Barangay Captains:</p> <ul> <li>Adolfo Navidad – 1964 <li>Valdemar “Dodong Lluch Sr. - 1968 <li>Rosita Cabalhin - 1972 <li>Bienvenido Uy Sr.- 1982 <li>Raymundo “Dodong” Lluch – 1989 <li>Dan Salandre – 1997 <li>Winefredo N.
