“Bangkero” is the Tagalog word for the dexterous and skilled “Boatman”. They are the natural navigators and tour guides who expertly paddle, and bodily lift a “banca” or “canoe” upstream against the strong current between the gorge and canyon walls, and then maneuver downstream through the rapids and rocks at breathtaking speed; which makes it truly an exciting two-hour boat ride experience of a lifetime, at the famous Pagsanjan Falls.
