My Iligan, My Home

To kick off this blog, i will definitely start with my Hometown, Iligan City.  It is located North of the Island of Mindanao approximately 800 kilometers southeast of Manila. It is a highly urbanized city with a population of more than 300,000 and with more than 11 major industries scattered within its perimeters. It is popularly known as Industrial City of the south and being more popular now as the City of Waterfalls with 23.

Iligan City has gone through a lot of changes. I was born, raised and got my education in this city(except college). I can still remember when we used to ride the "tartanilla" or kalesa as it is popularly known. Now there are only few left. Waterfalls is still one of the best resources i'm proud of my city. The mighty Ma. Cristina Falls that generates power in the whole Island of Mindanao. The relaxing Tinago Falls and the rest of the 21 waterfalls that cascades around the city is still the best places to go on a nature trips and hikings with friends.

The Food??? nothing beats our lechon here...that's it!!!

I'm staying in Manila for almost 2 years now and being away from home makes me appreciate more the place where i grew up, where good memories with my family and friends were forever kept, where remnants from my past is still deeply intact and where the memories of my late mom still exist in every corners of our home, in the places she used to serve and to the people she made happy.
