- Here we have the beautiful "Maria Cristina Falls" and the sound here is quite deafening with the sheer power of these water falls.. I love going to places like this, and if it was not for the fact that i have a 2 year old child to take care of i would be out all day in places like this.. Here in Iligan City we have about 24 of these waterfalls, and most are in quite remote areas, but as nice as they are one must always remember you are in Mindanao here, as i have been told that out of the 7641 islands we have here in the Philippines, Mindanao is the most dangerous to be on if you are a foreigner, as it's in these remote areas one is more likely to be taken hostage, but i must add this waterfalls is a very safe place to visit, and we sure did have a good time here...

I love this amazing waterfall
Yeah some of the waterfalls here are so beautiful, thanks Lena...
Awesome Falls to be sure, and I LOVE waterfalls. Thumbs up! -Larry
Hiya Larry, i love waterfalls too, and we got quite a few of them around here so we are a bit spoilt for choice really, great to see you here mate, hope you are having a good day there...
Carl, You obviously live in an area of unique beauty.... 24 waterfalls/that's amazing!
Love waterfalls & these are just spectacular. Wonderful to see... thank you!
Hello Bella, yeah we have lots of waterfalls here in Iligan City, and they are so beautiful, but some are quite hard to get to, especially if you have young kids with you, but my Tilly is fast becoming a very fit little girl. and she already has shown her love for the outdoors just like me, so am sure when she's a bit older she will be coming with me on many adventures.. Thanks for watching...
Man! Awesome falls.
Yeah it sure is, many thanks for your comment my friend...
Very nice falls Carl, one day i will visit with you my friend :-) .....see u
Hey that would be great Andy, we have actually got 24 waterfalls here in Iligan, cheers mate, have a good day...
Nice video. Beautiful waterfall, cute little girl. The ice-cream must be so nice to be eaten in such a gorgeous environment. Best of luck to you and your family, my friend!
Thanks for your nice comment, yeah it really is nice here, and i could stay here all day, have a good day and take care...
Good video, really nice waterfalls just found your channel last couple of weeks not many of us Brits here
Thanks for sharing.
Hello Derek, no there are not that many Brits here, i have come across a few of them and they all seem like nice people, do you live in Mindanao then? it's a great Island despite the bad press it gets, and i did not know until i got here that Mindanao is actually about the same size as Ireland back in the UK, but Ireland only has a population of about 6 million i believe, but here in Mindanao we have something like 21 million, cheers mate, thanks for your comment...
that's an awesone looking waterfall carl, what a garden feature that would make! thanks for showing us, nice to see, have a good day,jane.
Ha ha, yeah some garden feature Jane, it's huge and so noisy too, but it's a nice noise and not like the heavy traffic i hear from my house, and it's very refreshing too, so good to see you here Jane, i'm having a break from my music channels today, but i will stop by your channel in a while to listen to some good music, thanks my friend...
Awesome! 'love to visit someday....
Oh yeah am sure you would love it here, i like to get away from the centre of the city at times, and i find places like this are a great place to go and relax, thanks for your comment my friend...
Fantastic scenery! Love the waterfalls Carl. What a place to visit :) And nice to see Tilly growing up :) Thanks for sharing these sights and sounds with us here. Adding to my travel playlist.
Hi Christine, yeah it really is a nice place to visit, and it's a good place to just come and unwind at, it's so much better here than in the centre of the city, thanks very much for adding this one to your travel playlist, it's much appreciated...
Wow, That looked amazing! I love to go to places like this also. I have three children, so I know the difficulties you have when wanting to go out. I would be out everyday as well if it were not for having to take care of them. They have yet to see the beauty in these things and want only to play in the water itself!
Keep safe there and always keep your head on your shoulders!
Hiya mate, oh it can be a nightmare taking little kids out here in the Philippines, they get tired so easy and the heat here is also another major factor, and us fair skin people cant stay out in the sun for too long lol, but having said that i have heard more Filipino people moaning about the heat here than i do, and that's saying something ha ha, but being serious now, i think the answer to my problems is to get a car, and i am seriously thinking about it now, thanks my friend, have a good day there...
Great video! I am delighted ! I like it!
Thanks my friend...
My girlfriend lives in Iligan too, can't wait to get over there to see all the waterfalls
Have you not been to Iligan City yet Sean? it's a great city with many places one can visit.. The only downside for me here is the climate, it's way too hot for me, but i cope with it just about lol.. The people are really nice here and don't believe all the bad things you may here about Ilgan, if it was not safe here i would take my daughter and leave.. Thanks for watching...
Thanks for your insite Carl, I do have a house here, but unfortunately the rent would only pay the mortgage, things not to good in Australia at the moment (I'm in construction), I'll keep working on it, I love the girl and we won't to marry
@@seanswanson1909 I was in construction too lol, i am actually a carpenter by trade, but i can turn my hands to most of the trades really, apart from plastering lol, am totally rubbish at that.. Hey good luck my friend, where there is a will there is a way, believe me, just stay focused...
Haha, I'm a plasterer, thanks for replies Carl, keep up your good tubing Iligan mate
Good video! Very interesting video!.. Super!!! Thank you!!!
Glad you liked the video, many thanks for watching...
wow..
Yeah this place certainly does have that "WOW" factor, it's got to be one of the nicest places i have ever had the pleasure to visit, thanks for stopping by...
Лайк!
Mesmerising! Those giant twin falls and the strong current down the rapids from the rugged mountain terrains with the rumbling sound of the drifting waters are simply magical. It a shame this clip got short-lived. Nevertheless, I find this video fascinating. Keep it up Carl!
Yeah this video was a bit shorter than my usual ones from the waterfalls, but when you are actually at this waterfall there is not really anywhere one can roam around, once you are sitting down and having a bite to eat you sort of just get stuck down there if you know what i mean, and that's why i did not film so much, but there is a nature park close by and part of this place, which we also went to, and i filmed that place for some time.. Thanks for watching...
We've been there a few times. Great place to visit with family.
Yeah it really is a nice place to visit, and am hoping to visit a few more soon, thanks my friends, hope you are keeping well over there...
+Carl The Brit in The Philippines thanks we do our best to stay fit😎
Must be a bit worrying that you might get taken hostage .. wonderful filming of this beautiful place . Great to see Carl , Enjoy another wonderful day with your wonderful family :) ms
Yeah it can a bit worrying at times MS, but i never let nothing stop me from living my life, because if you did that then the bad guys would be winning me thinks, a lot of people say Iligan is a dangerous place, but i find it quite tame compared to where i was born and bred, and i really like it here, the people of Iligan are some of the nicest people you could meet, and i'm not just saying that as they really are, cheers mate, pleased you liked the video...
***** You are so right .. no where is safe from bad people who want to harm you as recent events around the world have shown , and just today one of our MP's has just been shot or stabbed in a outside London ..we had the IRA bombing us and taking hostages back in the 60s and70s and 80s and our grannies and parents had Hitler bombing so its pot luck .. lol . enjoy a great evening Carl :) ms
Yeah well said MS, if we were to stay in the house hiding every time something bad was going on in this world we would never go out would we lol, but being serious now, i heard about that politician "Joe Cox" i am listening to it now on 5 live radio, what a tragedy and such sad news, my thoughts go out to her young family, but life is for living mate, be happy many thanks for coming back, have a good one and keep safe...
hi carl, found this channel of yours from the playlist on your music channel. what a fantastic place to visit. have subscribed and will be watching more videos on here when i get home, but it's off to work first :) Lisa
Hiya Lisa, it's lovely to see you here, and pleased you found this channel, yeah i added a playlist on one of my music channels as lots of my friends over there seemed to think this was some sort of a secret channel lol, but it's not, i just don't push my channels down my friends throats if you know what i mean, so i added that playlist so they can casually come over for a look if they want, but since i put that playlist on there my views and subs have gone right up. I've been going off my music channels a bit as i am enjoying this channel more these days, but i do still love my music.. Hey thanks for your comment, and i hope you have a good day at work my friend...
Hi Carl , no I live in Manila but have been to Mindanao a few years ago mainly Davao and gen Sen
That area, enjoyed it just me and my wife.
Oh OK Derek, i am hoping to go to Davao City myself in time, but it's two coach rides from here in Iligan, i could fly there but i don't actually like flying that much, and if i could get back to England without flying then i would, but it's rather a long walk from the Philippines lol, cheers mate...
Hey Carl...them waterfalls are something else. The amount of water flowing down that river after its fallen and they have a swing bridge also. If you want a thrill be there and walk that bridge. Cool place bro. Mark.
Hiya Mark, so good to see you here mate, hey we were not allowed on that bridge as i tried to go on it lol, this is a great place, and just in this city alone we have another 23 waterfalls, but they are not all as big as this one, but i think my favourite of the ones i have seen is Tinago Falls, but it's a bit of a trek with a 2 year old with ya, but i am hoping to go back to there soon with just Yvonne, and i tell ya Mark you would love the hike to get to Tinago Falls, it's awesome around there, thanks my friend, have a good day...
***** Morning Carl. I am looking at it now the Tinago Falls. It means 'Hidden' in Filipino. So I guess it is a bit of a place to get to. It would be amazing to visit the remote areas of that part of the world one day and if I were there you would be one of the first calls. Any way, Carl take great care of you and all. Mark.
I thought you would look it up Mark lol, you are like me, an adventurer through and through, it is a bit remote, and me and my partner was talking about going back there only last night, but it would be too much for my daughter with the heat, but physically she is very fit and strong for her age, but the heat always wears ya down.. Yeah that would be something you and me on a trek over here, you would make some good videos over here mate (smile) cheers my friend...
Stunning; the only word I have got for it. Is that a hydro plant on the right? Great share mate and thanks for it.
Yep that's where our very expensive electric comes from Andre, well most of it anyway. i love coming here mate, it's so refreshing and if i lived nearer i would come here everyday, glad you enjoyed the video, i got a few more clips from here that i will upload in the near future, thanks my friend...
lovely place we been there few years back,they ask me to live my passport with security very strange 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh that is strange, i have been here a few times now and they have never asked me for anything like that, in fact the last time i went here they were closed due to Martial law etc, well the security actually opened up for me, and i was on my Trike at the time, and i got a driven escort down to the waterfalls just so i could take a few pics etc, and i thought how nice that was of them, but i gave the guard, my escort a few peso to thank him for his kindness.. Thanks for watching...
Carl The Brit in The Philippines it happened 2009 i refuse and they accept my wife cousin driving licence ,lovely videos
Will visit iligan on april
Yeah it's not as bad here at the moment as one might see on the news, but i believe these waterfalls are closed to the public while we are still under Martial Law, i know they were closed a while back.. Hey have a safe journey when you come to iligan city.. Thanks for watching...
Thanks carl..although im from mindanao area but im not familiar in iligan i was thinking if its safe to bring kids as well..as wat i saw in ur video its completely safe so im sure my daughter would love to be there..thanks again god bless
Well if i truly thought me or my family were in danger here i would move immediately as i could live anywhere in the Philippines, but i feel very safe here, and i am always out and about, am not an expat who hides behind his front door, i go everywhere around here, i travel by jeepney, by taxi, by coach and ferry, but more importantly on foot, so am sure you will be fine and so will your family if you ever come here, thanks for coming back...
That looks fantastic..
Was this after the little rain we had down here?
Still dry in CDO....Waiting for all the water to come.
Jim
We have had quite a bit of rain down here Jim, we are mainly getting it down here at night which is always better. i filmed this on Saturday, i had a really nice time over there, but it was very hot and my little girl started to get a bit stressed out so we did not stay as long as i wanted too, but she comes first every time, cheers mate...
No I haven't yet, my work commitments at the time only aloud me one week in the Philippines, which my girlfriend meet me in Cebu, now I'm trying to save money to get her here to Australia for 3 months, but work is very quite, Iligan is definitely on the to do list
Yeah that's how i started off, well my first visit here was for 10 days, but i was in the process at the time of starting up my own little business venture, i got quite a big house back in the UK and i decided to turn the upstairs into long let rooms, so that's how my stay here is funded, otherwise i would still be back in the UK working, but i have family there who help run things for me like collecting the rent money and paying it into my bank, and i have been here 8 years now so my little business venture has kept it all going, just about lol, but if you have your own property there in Australia you could always rent it out which would fund a longer stay for yourself here.. Thanks for coming back mate and good luck with raising the funds...
where is that falls found?
Hi Cheril, hmm am not very good at the names of areas around here, but from Iligan City center, follow the main road past "Tomas Cabili" and i think i have spelled that right, and you will find it on your left, as you get nearer to it i think you will see a direction sign, it's very nice and relaxing at these waterfalls and a nice day out, thanks for stopping by...
+Carl The Brit in The Philippines ..ahh i see..okay thank you i will visit there soon with my family it seems very nice views
Cheril Ahn Oh that's great, you will all have a nice time here with your family, they got shade here where you can eat, but it's better to get here early before the sun gets too hot, and don't forget you also have a really nice nature park here too, and i have a video of that on this channel. They also use a type of shuttle vehicle to transfer you from the waterfalls to the park, hey when you go have a fun time...
+Carl The Brit in The Philippines ..thats sounds really nice..well we are not surw but hopefully by October just family reunion i would really there gosshh thats why im asking u if where that falls found .i like noon time 5pm much better not so much tho
Hey Carl.....Check your messages....I just sent you a PM..
Jim
Ok Jim, i never check my PM's lol...
whats that building doing there..?it must be demolised its illegal to contruct a building in government owned mountains
It's actually the hydro power station when we get all our electric from, and it's this waterfall that creates the electric, but yeah i agree with you it's not a pretty site, and i have been saying for a long time now that i can't see why the Philippines don't use more solar power to generate the electric, as sunshine is one thing they have in abundance here, cheers Dan...
