ASIK-ASIK FALLS

By
SOCCKSARGEN: NORTH COTABATO
Asik-Asik Falls unlike any other waterfalls, it has no stream at the top of its cliff. Clean cold spring water are gushing out from its walls and is good for drinking.
The falls got its name from the Hiligaynon word 'Asik' which means 'Sprinkle.' Waters coming out from its rock walls sprinkles the river.
We have traveled from General Santos to Cotabato City to Alamada. In Alamada, we hired a roundtrip habal-habal to Asik-Asik Falls for 700php (2pax)
Pay entrance 30php
Start descending at a very steep stairs with almost a thousand steps (700-1000 steps) I lost count. But one thing I can assure you, your legs will uncontrolably quiver!



Location: Asik-Asik Falls Trail, Alamada, Cotabato, Philippines
