Iligan City is my hometown and it is where I was born. I've been living this beautiful place since I was a child. 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.
