LIMUNSUDAN FALLS – 35 kilometers away from the city proper. It is a breathtaking two-tiered falls. The lower cascade alone is higher than the 320 feet Maria Cristina Falls. It has a total height of 870 feet. It is close to the eastern boundaries of Iligan, Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur. To reach the waterfalls, one has to trek for 2 days from Kalamalamahan, Barangay Rogongon, Iligan City. (Photo by Rene Pernia)

PUBLIC TRANPORTATION
Jeepney - A Glimpse Into Filipino Culture! Can you remember the time when you used to take the jeepney in the
Philippines every day? I can. Everyone knows the jeepney is the most practical and cheapest way to get around in the Philippines.
Tricycle -
Always available, cheap and fast! The tricycle in the Philippines is no different from a motorcab. Both refer to a motorcycle with an attached sidecar that can accommodate four
maybe six passengers and some cargo. If you’ve been to the Philippines, chances are you’ve seen a tricycle already.

Kalesa -
The former King of the Road!
Listen! clikity clak…clickity clak…did you hear that?
Way before the jeepney, the Iligan tartanilla or “kalesa” (horse-drawn carriage) was the
Philippines’ king of the road.
It was the country’s major mode of transportation.
It was then when life seemed simply easy and slow…
Drift back in time for a moment before World War II…back in the 18th century,
the “kalesa” now tartanilla, was introduced during the Spanish occupation.
And in those years, Spanish nobility and rich Filipinos called the “Illustrados” used the kalesa as their primary means of transportation: for personal travel as well as commercial.
So what happened?
Well, the need for tartanillas diminished after World War II when the jeepney came along.
Read the story how jeepney became the king of the road.
Just between you and me, even when the jeepney came, the Iligan tartanilla was still going strong.
I’m sure you will agree with me…you see them around town. You see them around schools,
in the old market near the pier, basically you see them everywhere! They were all over the city back then.
Back when I was still in high school – when Iligan City National High School was still called Iligan City High School.
DIYANDI FESTIVAL
Diyandi Festival - Diyandi is a ritual performed by an all-female group outside the Cathedral during the Pagkanaug, before every novena and before the start of the Komedya, or Comedia de San Miguel. It culminates into an offering symbolic to St. Michael the Archangel's victory against Lucifer. The ritual aptly describes the peaceful co-existence of Iligan’s tri-people – Maranaos,Higaonons and Christians.
