Our country is also one of the most beautiful lands on earth. We have scenic panoramas and natural wonders which delight visitors from all corners of the world. Beneath our blue skies are the green mountains covered with tropical vegetation, the palm-fringed beaches aglow with sunlight, the cool rivers flowing through verdant wood-lands, and the fertile valleys filled with growing crops...

Maria Cristina Falls
Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City is the second highest falls in the Phillipines. It is a waterfall of the Agus River on the Island of Mindanao and is a landmark of Iligan City. Because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls, Iligan City is known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls.
Maria Cristina Falls is situated 9.3 kilometers away southwest of the Iligan City proper in the boundaries of Barangay Maria Cristina, Ditucalan and Buru-un. It’s a 320 feet high waterfall and the main source of power in the city’s industries which is brought under control by the Agus VI Hydroelectric plant operated by National Power Corporation. It’s not just supplying Iligan City’s power but it goes beyond other provinces generating 70% of Mindanao’s electricity. This means that during these days of El NiƱo, Mindanao is greatly affected with rotating brownout.
