Aliwagwag Falls – The Highest waterfall in the Philippines

Some misconceptions thought us that Maria Cristina Falls is the highest waterfall, it is because Cateel’s Aliwagwag Falls has been discovered just recently. Some engineers state that there are more waterfalls that yet to be discovered and they predict that there are several waterfalls in the country that may be higher than Aliwagwag itself!
