“Trailing on to the great adventure!”
The 2008 Off Road Competition @ Kaamulan Ground…
One of the basic rules when driving off-road is that you need to know the terrain. If you don’t, make sure to check it on foot before driving it in a 4×4. Especially on those slopes where you don’t see the other side. Many people ignore this advice when they’re behind the wheel.
It doesn’t really matter if you’re a surfer, surfing enthusiast, or a good ole beach bum toting the requisite bronzed skin, Havaianas and San Mig. Light. The winds are changing, and the swell is building, which means that surf season 2008 is about to open. This means sand, sun and more surf trips to exotic picturesque locations like our country’s SURFING CAPITAL, SIARGAO ISLAND.
Surfers will have the opportunity to travel and surf in the country’s top surf destination, Siargao’s Cloud 9.
Surf’s up!! Siargao is where it’s at… Surf’s up!!
When you are in Gingoog City, include in your itinerary even just a short visit at Tiklas Falls and feel the beauty of nature at its best.
Tiklas is 13 kilometers from the city proper/poblacion on the concrete Bal-ason-Hindangon farm to market road. The jump off point is at the Balantian Bridge where vehicles can be parked and a wide 300 meter trail leads to the waterfalls and the swimming pools being developed by the local government of Gingoog. The development is still going on with the improvement of the pools and the construction of the cottages and other facilities.
Tiklas Falls is 120 ft. high with an oval pool with a diameter of more than 30 meters with some deep portions reaching 60 feet.
The beautiful falls like a bridal flowing headdress has been made centerpiece of the province’s brochures, posters and streamers/tarpaulins. This paradise philippines falls is one of the three cascades on the same stream; 500 meters below stream is Kilubag falls and still downstream over 20 meters is another falls, the Bangbang or Gantangon falls.
Just south of Malaybalay off the highway is the Monastery of the Transfiguration. Even for non-religious types this is a gorgeous drive into the hills, which are planted with coffee by the monks..
This church Established by the Benedictine Monks, the Monastary of Transfiguration pyramid church has an architectural design of simplicity with elegance. Not only that, since its situated in the hills of Malaybalay Bukidnon, it’s fresh air and impeccable silence is a great combo for a moment of solitude. This is one of the beautiful church.
The street dancing is one of the major highlights of “Kaamulan” where many local and foreign tourists come to witness the municipalities of Bukidnon showcase their talents through music and dance, interpreting cultural traditions of the lumad. The dance may be of healing, courtship, warfare, livelihood, and other rituals of the IPs. They dance the length of the highway of Malaybalay to the main plaza.
The street dancing in itself is already a colorful visual display of choreographed and timed movements. Once they are in the plaza, they perform in front of a panel of judges. Most of which are government officials and big-time businessmen. Under the sweltering heat, these people dance their heart out to the beat of the steel drums to tell the story of their forefathers.
