Panhulugan Cliff is a high and steep rock formation directly across Panhulugan Cave I. Down this towering cliff is a narrow curve of the Sohoton River wherein passing bancas are dragged during low tide.

The name Panhulugan is from the waray-waray word “hulug” which means to drop from atop. Filipino rebels had used this cliff as an ambush area during the Filipino-American war.

The cliff is located within the Sohoton National Park. Read More: http://www.localphilippines.com/attractions/panhulugan-cliff

The cliff is located right across Panhulugan Cave 1 and from the cliff you can see and appreciate more the beauty of the Sohoton River and its forestry.  

Panhulugan comes from the Waray-Waray word “Hulug” which means drop from atop or push it down. The explanation is that the Filipino guerrillas used the cliff as an ambush site during the Filipino-American war wherein when Americans are planning to charge on to their hideout, from the top of the cliff the rebels will drop boulders of rocks and other heavy loads preventing the intruders to ransack their hideout.  Read More:  http://basey6720.blogspot.com/2012/05/sohoton-national-park-basey-samar.html#.WSDZdsa1taQ
