Why these tags

Waterfalls

From the sources

“Umalad Falls - If you're stuck in town proper and are looking for "something" to do outdoors on the cheap for a couple hours, there are very modest waterfalls and swimming pools on the edge of town (Ulmalad) that are a source of water for the locals.”

“Matalangaw Falls - Located half-way between Roxas and Port Barton in the sitio of Matalangaw.”

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.
