Reminiscing Casaroro Falls

Casaroro Falls in Dumaguete is one of the waterfalls in the Philippines that shut my mouth up. Not that I’ve been to a lot of falls already but there’s something mystic about the place. I guess it’s because it really takes a long hike to get to the body of water and when you finally reach the destination, you feel energized knowing that you have trekked a far distance.

In our case, we didn’t really hike from Dumaguete to Valencia; we took a shortcut and rode some motorcycles (habal-habal) due to time constraints. However, the stairs going down and up was enough to keep our legs sore for the next 2 days – You have to take 335 steps in order to get to the bottom and go up with the same number in order to get back to the starting point.

Casaroro Falls is actually located in Valencia in Negros Oriental and not in Dumaguete City’; which is a nearby town as well. I suggest that anyone who wants to stay in Dumaguete to drop by Casaroro and be amazed at this nature’s wonder.

Dumaguete: Silliman University

I kept on strolling in Silliman when I was there. For one, it’s where the rest of my batchmates I know are studying. Before, they still allowed the public to enter but they got stricter because of issues that were prevailing with outsiders. You now need to have an ID to enter but I was … Read more

Dumaguete: Casaroro Falls

After our hike to the Jap Shrine, we went back to the Y-intersection. I scratched my arm and I bled; it felt so emo. hehe. We were too tired to trek to Casaroro falls so we waited for a habal-habal ride. We negotiated with the manong driver and it arrived to 80 bucks per person. … Read more

Dumaguete: Jap Shrine

After 4 years of delaying the trip, I'm finally at the place where I spent most of high school. Dumaguete City, the City of Gentle People; but I fondly recall as a City of Falling Leaves (due to the number of leaves falling when I'd pass by Silliman). I didn't/never studied in Silliman, but I … Read more
