Pan-as Falls is located in Barangay Pilar. More than just a natural tourist attraction, this waterfall is located in watershed area of Calbayog.

Pan-as Falls is located at Brgy. Pilar, Oquendo district and is surrounded with the mighty stands of rare timbers and wildlife that abound in the area.

It is the source of water supply of the city populace.  Read More:  http://greedypeg.org/samar/Pan-as-Falls.html
