Virgin Falls

Virgin Falls, deeply hidden within the highlands of Kapatagan Valley is a wonder of nature to behold. This one tiered waterfalls is certainly a welcome oasis in the middle of thick bushes and huge towering ferns and cogons in an agonizing trail of sharp rock formations and stiff climb. But all the strenuous effort and exhaustion is nothing compared to the fulfillment of seeing this stunning beauty of nature: tall in all its regalia is about 20 meters high and some 10 to 15 feet wide of cascading waterfalls bordered between huge rock walls on each side and crowned with a lush flora and fauna here and there. The welcoming icy mists of the waterfalls as one enters the area is as soothing as the serenity of the entire wonder with only the rapid rush of waters from high above blended with the musical chirping of wild birds hovering gently around and the swaying sound of the trees can be felt, heard, and awed at. The colours of the earth amid a perfect weather are all too inviting to ignore the lure of the waterfalls’ natural pool of icy cold, crystal clear waters at the basin. It is a heavenly landscape to behold and a moment to be one with Mother Nature. Read More: http://davaocitybybattad.blogspot.com/2012/05/virgin-falls.html

Kublai Art Garden

Blessed. Grateful. Those were the words I uttered while I sat under the trellis beside the glass house in Kublai’s Art Garden. Having the chance to visit this place for the second time is indeed a blessing.

In 2007, Kublai’s Agong House was still a work in progress. Back then, I was blessed to be mentored by Kublai’s dad, Coach Rey, for we were like athletes listening and learning from the Rainmaker. I have come a long way, no longer employed, working 24/7. And that boldness comes from Coach Rey.

Sorry that I get to reminisce, instead of sharing more about Kublai’s Art Garden. The garden showcase the talent of Kublai, and through his art, I felt the serenity that I have within me. That it takes, an artist, through his sculpture, to trigger, the capacity to have serenity and peace.

I cannot speak for others, but I am sharing the my experience, as I walked through the garden. In the heart of Kapatagan, there I found……..PEACE. Read More: http://maiwanderlass.blogspot.com/2016/03/davao-del-sur-kublais-art-garden.html

It is a modest beach resort with only a few small huts and cottages, but the island’s white powder sandy beaches and clear waters are enough to lure any beach lover like me to stay a few hours or even spend overnight in this very secluded and private island.
