Maria Cristina Falls in Philippines

Adam — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:37:11 +0000

This is Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan Province. The source of electric power in the southern portion of the Philippines. Iligan is home to majestic waterfalls, the most popular of which is the Maria Cristina Falls. Known for its pristine beauty, the 320 feet high waterfalls also serves as the cityâ€™s industrial lifeline â€“ generating power for the cityâ€™s heavy industries through the turbines of the Maria Cristina Hydroelectric Power Plant.

Maria Cristina Falls has become a major source of power, but it is also the home of nationally acclaimed artists, poets, cultural workers, and writers, and geographically, is a cross road of the cultural mix of the Maranaos of Lanao del Sur, Higaonons of Bukidnon, and the dominantly Christian settlers and migrants from the Visayas and other places of Mindanao.

Rice Terraces in Batad, Ifugao Province

Adam — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:41:00 +0000

In the fastness of the Cordillera mountains, 250-km north of Manila, Ifugao tribespeople have carved a livelihood from bare rock. Over the centuries, generations of Ifugao have laid stone after stone constructing dikes to hold back what little soil washed off the mountainsides creating vertical gardens that rise as “stairways to the heavens.”

Rice terraces are common throughout Asia but nowhere are they as spectacular as in the rugged mountains of northern Luzon. The Ifugaos have resisted integration into mainstream society and still practice their traditional farming and religion although headhunting is on the wane.
