Asik-Asik Spring Falls in Alamada, North Cotabato

Asik-Asik Falls
Miss Wise: Asik-Asik Falls, North Cotabato
I saw this photo from my Facebook Newsfeeds. This photo was shared by TV Patrol for their weekend segment "Choose Philippines".

I can't stop from sharing it to every Filipino. I admire the beauty of nature and it's spring falls. I admit, I don't watch TV because most of my time is on the net. Perhaps, I'm truly amazed when I saw it.

Since, I have little knowledge of the said spring falls. I searched the web and found out:
  • The place is Asik-asik falls located at Sitio Dulao, Upper Dado, Alamada, North Cotabato.
  • There is no river on top, instead the water spring comes from the rock.
  •  The falls were unvisited because of the "Balete" tree in which they said as haunted until it fall down.
I just hope and pray that it will stay as is, now, that it become as one of the main tourist attraction in North Cotabato. No to cut trees and plants on top.

Super Ferry: A Relaxing Voyage Across the Phillipines

How many of us will ride SuperFerry from the provinces to Manila? Do you know which port you will fetch one of your family? I think no, not even those people from the province know. Unless, you are a frequent passenger on the ship.

This happened to us 5 days ago. We were informed to fetch MIL and SIL at the Manila Port Area. Which port/pier? That's the question that pop into my mind. There are a lot of piers in Manila. Good thing, my BIL is online and I asked him what vessel are they on board? He answered it's SuperFerry 1 and the TOA is 4:30pm. We did not asked further because we know he had no idea about the piers here in Manila.

So, we google SuperFerry and found their official website. As a newbie, I do not know what category to browse. I just read and click. In the menu bar (Orange color) I hover my mouse pointer on Schedule & Rates, then click Voyage Schedules. In voyage schedules, you will see the ship's origin, destination and sailing month. Choose from the drop-down menu of each and click search after.

The result is Pier 15. Since they came from Dumaguete City and destined in Manila for the month of July 2011. You will also read the name of the vessel as what my BIL had told us. My husband went and fetched them at Pier 15.

It's easy and user-friendly. Have a happy trip! :)
