  For a long time, the Wawa Dam has been a part of the local history. Located in the province of Rodriguez Rizal and was created to provide power for Manila, founded in 1909.

Experience Mount Balagbag is the most amazing mountain I have ever climbed. I start with storytelling before I climb. I left Manila very early in the morning, around 2 am. Since there was no traffic, I arrived at Tungko early, and I took a jeep to Licao-Licao about quarter to 5. It was still dark, and there were no people in the area. I waited in a store first.
