The Powerful Maria Cristina Falls

Maria Cristina Falls is so powerful that as I stand on the viewdeck of the hydroelectric plant fronting this 98-meter waterfall, I see billows of mist, even with just one of its drops flowing (on weekends, both drops come rushing down full force at 11AM). The mist reaches me....or maybe it's just the rain. But, believe me, it is very powerful—it provides a large chunk of Mindanao's electricity.
 
I was in the mood to be a nerd that day and would have loved to have a tour of the power plant, but time was limited and, besides, I think a request for a tour would have to be arranged in advance.

Maria Cristina Falls is located within Iligan City's National Power Corporation (NPC) Nature's Park, just 9.3 kilometers from the city center. NPC Nature's Park can be reached by taking a jeepney bound for Buru-un (fare is Php 11).
