Why these tags

Mountains

From the sources

“Because it's so easy to climb, you may go up Mount Agad-agad in the morning and come down in the afternoon.”

“East of the city, flat cultivated coastal land gives way to steep volcanic hills and mountains providing the waterfalls and cold springs for which the area is well known.”

Waterfalls

From the sources

“The many waterfalls in the area attract tourists from all over the world with their beauty and power.”

“Maria Cristina Falls is a waterfall of the Agus River in the Northern Mindanao region of the Philippines.”

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.
