off to the Land of WATERFALLS.... Asia » Philippines » Iligan By SunfloweR April 13th 2007 Cherry Mae Desesto ... Spent the holy week in my place of birth...Iligan City, also known as the land of the Majestic Waterfalls... We spent a total of 4 days in there, trying to get accustomed to the new traditions, relieving old memories and visiting old places and familiaring faces...

I could say it is because of the companions I had. = The group decided to stay in Yooneek Beach resort, which by far is the most boring resort I've ever been to.

They have monkeys chained on each coconut tree, which would jump on every human ... read more
