T’daan Kini Falls is situated at Barangay Lamlahak. About 10 minutes drive from the town proper; we proceeded to Sitio Talibu, the jump off site going to T’daan Kini Falls. To get to the falls, it requires a 45-minute trek passing through green ricefields, two flowing cold streams, green valleys and hills and other picturesque sceneries that made our trek truly stimulating.

T’daan Kini falls is one of the many waterfalls in Lake Sebu, though a short one in terms of waterdrop, this waterway is a clean and live tributary that feed Lake Sebu and irrigates rice paddies down below. It’s unsoiled and living watercourse with a healthy bionetwork that sustains the everydayness of the stakeholders around. Though, there are threats – like ploughed corn fields above which can result to surface runoff and eventually siltation in the river in the long run and I understand this can’t be avoided as agriculture is the primary source of livelihood of the people here, but then there’s this resolve of political will by the local government to inform and perhaps propose alternative areas to be farmed.
