Why these tags

Festivals

From the sources

“It is also the site of the annual "Pagsalabuk Festival", motor company trade shows, and sporting events like marathons, triathlons, and dragon boat racing as part of the DIPOLOG SPORTS CITY 2020 vision.”

“The P'gsalabuk Festival, held from the 3rd week of April to the 4th week of May, celebrates the unity, peace, and collaborative partnership between the indigenous Subanen locals and the settling Muslim and Christian migrants.”

Mountains

From the sources

“It is especially popular during Holy Week, when devotees climb the path for reflection, prayer, and panoramic views at the peak.”

Waterfalls

From the sources

“The most prominent feature of the park is the Sungkilaw Falls.”

“A serene, multi-tiered waterfall nestled in lush forest, known for its cool, clear waters and peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere.”

Heritage

From the sources

“Constructed by the Spanish friars of Dipolog on April 15, 1894, records show that the original altar was designed by Dr. Jose Rizal, the sketch of the altar was inspired after that of San Ignacio Church in Manila.”

“The main attraction of the church is the ceiling made of Philippine hardwood.”
