Maria Cristina Falls is famous for being the second highest waterfall in the Philippines (about 98 metres high and has a 320-metre drop). And on a work trip to Mindanao, I was lucky enough to have time to take a side trip to the falls.
You probably wouldn't think that there would be a shrine to Jose Rizal in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya; much less think that it was built by a foreigner who looked up to Jose Rizal (and the other heroes in Philippine history). But guess what.?! There is such a shrine in Bayombong!!!!
Visita Iglesia is one of the staples during Holy Week. And with my family being Catholic, we do it every Holy Thursday. I tag along every year, as I have always have, even if I am Buddhist.
