The Philippines’ Clearest Waterfall | It’s hard to Believe! 🇵🇭

[@JackieRipplinger-dj4ui]

That water is so clear. I could tell you’re really enjoying yourself. Man, so many places I need to visit when I go to the Phil.

[@athenagranados8384]

Down here in Laguna are the Seven Lakes and the famous falls. And there are quaint adobe and brick stonehouses as well as antique Spanish-time mansions converted into boutique hotels and inns for reasonable prices. Sometimes they are tucked far deep into mountains where you can enjoy the rustic vistas of greenery and partake of the famous Filipino hospitality.

[@christophertan488]

I've been to this falls & some streams there in this part of Laguna/Quezon boundary mountains I think the source of the water is from a spring underground, it's so cold it's not good for swimming & dipping

[@roddizon2242]

Laguna is one of the friendliest province in the Philippines, and there is so many water activities

[@hillroberts1311]

You're genuinely happy living in the Philippines. It was a good decision when you first expressed the idea of moving to the Philippines after being disgruntled in Bangkok for reasons we know already. Still, how so nice to see you chirpy and blissful. Who wouldn't when those Falls are beautiful and sparkling? Your YT channel is gaining a lot more attention and you are famous now, largely because of the interesting content you show and provide, regardless of how tired you are. Oh to be young again like you. Thank you and I wish good health and YT success. Stay happy and grounded. Cheers from Spain!

@@hillroberts1311 I bet it's because Filipinos are more hospitable and speak English. It's a haven for foreing vloggers who want more subscribers because we speak English as our second language.

*_If the waterfall is clear, it could mean that the surrounding area is free from pollutants and that the water is flowing over smooth and clean surfaces (i.e. no rocky parts with sediment). All good reasons to visit that waterfall. Nice find, Mergim!_* 😎😎😎😎👍👍

[@alannavx]

Well described. 👍

[@murpsauce7168]

That's not how it works lmao. Water clarity is based on the mineral content of the water, not pollutants.

[@eagleofthenorthmacroexcell6843]

It is because water flows from a forested area, no mud flow.. No pollutants because no one resides on those mountain areas.

[@get2riz]

I would imagine that most of the water is groundwater. If it’s on the mountain, then there are plenty of aquifers before it becomes surface water downstream. It is clear and cold because it is close to the headwaters in the mountains.

[@lornaramirez6567]

[@alannavx]

Taytay Falls is a sight to see, I definitely would agree. But if you're able to travel way down south, particularly to Cateel, Davao Oriental, you will see Aliwagwag Falls. For many, including myself, that has got to be the most awesome, nature-formed waterfall in the Philippines. You have to see it for yourself, once you'll have time. It's nothing short of breathtaking.

[@mightylawrence1796]

Ohh! Well you both are from Mindanao. Why just not agree that both falls have their own uniqueness and differences. It’s sure does that Mindanao has a lot to offer for tourism hot spots.

[@mightylawrence1796]

Why does have to always compete when this falls can be found in one place like Mindanao. Support each other’s places because you’re both bisaya.

[@athenagranados8384]

I agree. Aliwagwag is by far the best falls in the Phil. I live in Laguna but I have yet to see Taytay Falls. The only one I've been to is Pagsanjan.

Good find Mergim. You are right that not a lot of foreigners get to visit those waterfalls. Some do go, like Koreans, but most do not venture into the mountain paths as these can be extremely eroded and muddy without a pavement. Plenty of sites to discover in the Sierra Madre area.

[@angellove7271]

Laguna is really known for their majestic waterfalls, rivers and lakes. On the other hand if you are looking for beaches you can visit the nearby province of Quezon. Nearest would be thru Pagbilao, Quezon. You can have a day trip Island hopping (Bilihan Sandbar, Kwebang lampas, Dampalktan Island and Borawan Island) Arranging your trip can be done once you reach the area which includes boat rentals. There is also an island in Mauban, Quezon (Cagbalete Island). Basically, Quezon features a series of beach resorts with access to clear beach waters considering that the province’s coastline has a total of more than 1000 kilometers. Many of these destinations are already popular with local tourists but unknown to many foreigners. Hope you would consider taking this unbeaten path.

You better believe what you said Mergim. You are gonna keep coming back to Laguna. Since we discovered San Pablo, Liliw and other parts of Laguna 13 months into the pandemic, we've always driven back and back and back. Always discovering new places to go either to swim or farms or natural attractions. Bummer nowadays is the traffic. During the pandemic, Laguna is the only province where we can go unimpeded. No traffic at all going to and back.

You know what else is hard to believe? That the Pasig River and every other natural waterway in the Manila area used to look like the water in that waterfall.
