I thought of promoting its beauty in this blog, because I believe that every people should know how wonderful it is living here. It would be very great for others to know the hidden beauty that the Iligan has been keeping all the time. It would not only be an additional information to everyone but also an remarkable discovery. Iligan may cover only small area but it sure keeps a lot of natural treasures that most of the tourists visit. 

     Iligan City was known logically as the "City of Majestic Waterfalls" because of its 23 waterfalls, which gives a splash of beauty to everyone who finds it. Some of them are Maria Cristina Falls, Limunsudan Falls, Tinago Falls, Guimbalolan Falls, Tinago Falls, Kibalang Falls etc. Each and every waterfalls are located separately around the Iligan City. The pictures above are two of the examples (left: Maria Cristina Falls; right: Limunsudan Falls). Among all the waterfalls, Maria Cristina Falls stands above the rest not only because of its pleasing view but also it supplies a good source of electricity. Nevertheless, every waterfall's refreshing appeal and natural beauty stuns anyone to stare at a remarkable creation of nature that was proudly placed in Iligan City.

     The City of Iligan also has one of the coolest and free-flowing swimming pools in the Philippines named "Timoga Swimming Pool". Located in Fuentes, it highly attracts a lot of tourists even now a days. Its very friendly appearance gives a lot of boost in advocating such place to everyone. The picture above already shows how great it is to personally swim around the pools in the Timoga itself. They entertain visitors from Monday to Friday, giving everyone a lot of opportunity to experience the pleasure the waters in the pools offers. It wouldn't hurt to take some time to visit these exceptional pools, which gives you a very gratifying experience that only Iligan can offer.

     Iligan City also celebrates festival that attract a lot of people not only in the Philippines, but also all over the world. It is called Diyandi Festival, from the word "Diyandi" that simply means celebrate. It is celebrated every once in a year as a festival that pay tributes to the Patron Saint of Iligan City "St.Michael the Archangel". They dance not only to perform and entertain everyone but also to enjoy themselves with the event. The Diyandi Festival gives joy to everyone, from the pleasing costumes to the wonderful dance that portrays a story. Its been one of the reasons why most Filipinos and foreigners flocks into Iligan. The Festival, so far, has been a successful one for the Iliganons, it  might become one of the reasons why Iligan is one of the renowned city in the Northern Mindanao.

#6 Detective Conan "Time Bombed Skyscraper"

 (Before reading anything in the blog that is shown below, it is highly recommended to open this link first "DC Soundtrack".) 
   Detective Conan has been one of my favorite anime since I was a child, so I decided to create a blog about its first movie called "Detective Conan Movie 1 "Time-bombed Skyscraper"". Their first movie, just as I expected, was astonishing and exceptional because of its plot, which consist a lot of thrilling, challenging and romantic situations . I have seen it via animecrazy.com, a website that contains tons of English subbed anime for every anime-holic fans, you should sometimes visit it too.  

     Kudo Shinichi was a famous high school detective, until an incident happened in which he discovered an illegal transaction of organizations. He was unknowingly hit at the back, making him unconscious for a bit of time. After that hard hit, he was forcibly intake a capsule called APTXN 4869 that should have killed him, but instead turned him back to a child. Knowing this so, he was determined to execute that secret organization and reveal its hidden identity. As the story goes on, he now lives in his childhood friend, Ran Mouri, together with his detective father, Kogoro Mouri, to solve any case that might also be related to the organization. He may have the body of a child, but he has the wit of an adult.

     The story opens at the house of Dr. Kurokawa, in where he was murdered by his maid because of the revenge for her husband. After that case, Kudo received a letter from a famous architecture named Teiji Moriya, inviting him into some kind of party. Since Kudo cannot attend, because he was already turned into a child at that time, he asked Ran and her father to take his place. They both agreed, on a condition that Kudo and Ran will go see a movie on May 3rd. On that morning in May 3rd, Kudo received a call from a mysterious guy, he placed bombs around certain places challenging him to locate it before it explodes and hurts anyone. Kudo, of course, accepted the challenge for everyone's safety. The first bomb was at a park, it was placed in an toy airplane, that was operated by the friends of Conan, which will explode in a specific time. The second bomb was at a Train Station which was hidden in a box. It was taken by an old lady but in the nick of time, it was disposed by Conan before exploding. The third case was consist of a five bombs in a Train rail.It was found out that the real culprit was Moriya Teiji himself, because he wanted to eliminate his so called 'inferior designs' and planned to create a new and perfect one. All of the puzzles were almost solve, but there was still another bomb that is yet to explode. It's located in the Beika Station Building, which is the location of Kudo and Ran's date.

Ran and Kudo (between them is a blocked door)

     The first bombs exploded in order to block the exit and entrance. Making a lot of people trapped inside the building. Kudo proceeded inside the building without hesitation to save Ran, only to find that the door between Ran and him was blocked. Ran found the bomb inside her place and with the help of Kudo, he was almost able to diffuse the bomb. However, Moriya put two extra wires: blue and red-colored wire. One of them was a trap that triggers the bomb to explode upon cutting. Kudo does not know what to cut and Ran was left in a crucial decision. Later, he realized that the trap was the red wire because it was her favorite color and Moriya thought that she would cut it. Instead, Ran cut the blue wire because she believes that the red wire represents the string that links the fate of the two of them.
