Bukidnon is a haven for photographers, especially those who like pastoral scenes, landscapes, and waterfalls. Here are reasons why.

6. Alalum Falls, Brgy. Kisolon, Sumilao, Bukidnon
If you take the BuDa (Bukidnon-Davao) Road from Cagayan de Oro City, this waterfalls is just near the Sayre highway. Alalum Falls serves as the boundary between the municipalities of Sumilao and Impasug-ong. It is approximately 148 feet in height.
Bok and I have taken these photos on our way to Malaybalay City. Our destination is the Jesuit Retreat House in Impalambong, a few meters away from San Isidro College, a former school of the Benedicting Sisters of Tutzing.
The landmark are these colorful Gawad Kalinga houses.

7. Atugan Bridge, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon.
The local government claims that this bridge is the highest in the country, with a depth of 64.5 meters. Whether this claim holds true today, the view of the valley below is breathtaking, especially with the rushing river that snakes through it.

Thank you very much Kim. And keeping you and your family in my masses and prayers, also for Sorene’s. She, like my mom, is alive and well with the Lord.
Much appreciated Pads. I have been drawing strength from prayers and the love of friends and family. Yes Pads, I do believe that Sorene and your mom are now very much happy with the Lord.
Let’s have coffee soon. I’ll be in Cebu and CDO (articles were from my ocular) but back by 1st week of September. What day are you most free. Can you DM me your number on twitter? Or text: have the same number.
