Why these tags

Beach

From the sources

“The park's major attraction is the Calbayog Zipline (Calbayog City Zip), which goes down from the mountains facing Malajog Beach down into an island, and after that, you get on a boat back to the mainland on Malajog Beach.”

“This beach is famous as it is frequently visited by foreign diplomats and VIPs, and several films are shot here.”

Waterfalls

From the sources

“The park also has an artificial replica of Bangon-Bugtong Falls.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
