Album Info:

The history of Hinulugang Taktak is rich & colorful. Legend has it that sometime during the 16th century, the townsfolk of Antipolo were bothered by a church bell that produced harsh, unbearably loud sounds when rung during Angelus. They demanded that the local priest get rid of the bell. Bowing down to the clamor, the priest had it dropped in a nearby river. This explains the name, “Hinulugang Taktak” which means ‘where the bell was dropped’. As Antipolo became a religious site, the 15-meter high waterfalls also became a prominent destination for bathing & sightseeing. In the 1980s, it was declared a National Park by the government. This waterfall is made famous by a folk song that goes: "Tayo na sa Antipolo / At doon, maligo tayo / Sa batis na kung tawagin / ... ay... ay... Hinulugang Taktak... tak... tak... tak..."

    • I like the angle you chose to take this picture. The deep range of field enables the viewer to see forever from the plant to the front left to the top of the falls. The green frame of the waterfalls encapsulates the water and I can imagine the sound the waterfall makes as it splashes to the bottom.
