Iligan is called the "City of Waterfalls" because there are a number of waterfalls in the area,
the best known of which being Maria Cristina Falls. unfortunately, Maria Cristina significantly lost its appeal as a tourist attraction when it was used as a source of hydro-electric power.
I had the opportunity to visit Iligan during my last official field trip to our Cagayan de Oro Regional Office in 2001. Because Iligan is just a few hours away from Cagayan de Oro, my officemate Jojo and I asked a friend from the regional office, Hans, to accompany and tour us around the city.
To metallurgical engineers like me, Iligan also has a strong appeal because it was home to National Steel Corporation which had already stopped operations at that time due to financial and ownership problems.
The picture at the top is NOT Maria Cristina Falls. It's been more than a year since these pictures were taken, so I've now forgotten the name of this falls. I remember that this is just a short ride away from Maria Cristina. If anybody could help me with the name, please email me. :)
