THREE waterfalls, a forest and a few caves in Cebu City are just some of the attractions the 8th Visayas Mountain Festival will feature.

For the first time, the festival will be held in Cebu City, with the City Government taking the lead in promoting the activity as part of its program to make Cebu City an “Event City.”

Plan your Sinulog week ahead and find out what's in store for Sinulog 2012.

The four-day festival will go around the mountain barangays of Sudlon II, Tabunan, Tagbao and Tap-Tap.

“This is part of the plan of the Cebu City Tourism Commission (CCTC) to promote outdoor Cebu. Beaches are over-promoted and Cebu City does not have beaches,” said Vice Mayor Joy Augustus Young, who sits as chairman of the commission.

While many think that mountain barangays are in the province and Cebu City is made up only of urban barangays, Young said 70 percent of Cebu City is actually in the mountains.

“We will go beyond the festival of the Sinulog. There are so many things going on and all we really need is promotion,” said Councilor Margarita Osmeña, a member of the CCTC and the chairperson of the City Council’s committee on tourism.

CCTC is promoting several festivals and launched for the first time the Cebu Chinese New Year Festival last month.

The commission wants to host at least one festival a month so that balikbayans won’t have to wait for the next Sinulog to come to the city.

Holy Week

Next month, CCTC will organize activities in observance of the Holy Week, which the commission does not want to call a festival but will be part of the line-up of festivals.

The Visayas Mountain Festival is organized by the University of San Carlos Mountaineers (USCM) and the Mountaineering Federation of the Philippines Inc, and will run from March 31 to April 3.

The four barangays are home to attractions that are not known to most of the Cebuanos.
Sudlon II is home to numerous caves and one of the City’s sources of fresh vegetables, while Tabunan hosts the City’s remaining forest.

Barangay Tagbao has Managsang and Liki Falls while Tap-Tap has Linut-od Falls and is one of the sources of flowers and sweet corn.

According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Tap-tap also grows an endemic species of cinnamon and flower beggar.

While their members are experienced climbers, Joel Cariño of USCM said the festival does not just aim to promote mountaineering but also to promote Cebu City’s tourist spots.

Cariño expects 100 to 150 participants to join the festival.

We went to Managsang Falls, at Barangay Tagbao this Sunday.

It is quite a difficult Trek of just 1Km but took 40 minutes. Our return Journey was up and over the farmlands at the top of the steep Valley walls, so was quite a climb up (but we had installed a Rope, to give good handhold to get up. to supplement the 'bamboo handrails', in places).

Well worth the effort for this natural and currently unspoilt by commercialization and relatively clean of litter, so we hop e it stays that way?

Has anyone been to the other Liki Falls in Barangay Tagbao?

What about Tap-Tap that has Linut-od Falls?

I particularly like this Photo of yours Budlaan Falls in Brgy Budlaan, Talamban, Cebu City



Will have to visit that sometime, is it easy to find and get to?

Trouble is the easier they are to find and get to the sooner they become 'spoilt' with many visitors, and some not being 'Green' with dropped Rubbish etc.

Seems a shame some Pilipinos, don't consider the effect of left bags, and wrappers when repeated by thousands of Visitors. Don't they take a PRIDE in their natural beauty spots?

Fortunately there was very little rubbish @ Managsang Falls, Tagba-o and what little we did come across we picked up and carried it out with our own.

Cheers,

going to bonbon:
From JY square - sakay habal2x, tell the driver you are going to bonbon, it will take you to the trancentral highway, somewhere down the road it then will take a sudden left downhill turn. (enjoy the view at this time, daghan kaayo plantation sa mga flowers.) then after about 4~5kms you reach bonbon bridge. Here you have to river trek your way upstream till you reach the major falls, along the way daghan kaayo gamay nga mga falls.

If you pursue further past the two major falls upstream, you reach the topmost source which I think is Binuthan cave.

Note:
If you river trek downstream you will reach the campo quatro bridge.

There are 2 Bridges on that Road to Bonbon, I take it that you refer to the 2nd Bridge (as the 1st is just a creek?), which is the River Mananga that flows to Tabunok and leads to Campo4?
