Dampalit Falls in Laguna


It's not exactly Niagra, but it's a nice little waterfall where one can refreshen.  Walking your way through a densely populated community with the occasional motorcycle passing you by isn't exactly inviting, but when you get to the end of the paved road, the forest begins to open up as you catch glimpses of butterflies, dragonflies and the lush tropical vegetation.  You'll have to negotiate a narrow beam of a bridge and you're at the entrance of Dampalit Falls.  Pay the P20 entrance fee and you're inside a little piece of paradise.  A creek flows through a rocky promontory that leads you to the falls.


The restrooms aren't exactly inviting and the picnic tables not that great, even if you have to shell out P200 to use them, but if you're like me, a big rock would do just fine. These are but minor inconveniences to enjoying this little jewel of a falls in the town of hot springs.

Peace and unity...

The Christmas tree is a decorated tree, mostly an evergreen conifer such as pine or fir, traditionally associated with the celebration of Christmas. It is brought into the home and decorated with Christmas lights (originally candles), ornaments, garlands, tinsel, and candy canes during the days around Christmas. An angel or star may be placed at the top of the tree, representing the host of angels or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity. An artificial Christmas tree is an object made to resemble such a tree, mostly made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
The custom of the Christmas tree developed in Early Modern Germany with predecessors that can be traced to the 16th and possibly the 15th century. It acquired popularity beyond Germany during the second half of the 19th century.[2] The Christmas tree has also been known as "Yule-tree", especially in discussions of its folkloristic origins.[3][4]
