c. The Kaibigan Falls. It does not boasts of the height of Maria Cristina, but the cold water has a surreal, healing power. Plus, the thirty-minute required walk is a good exercise.

d. the Bangui Wind Farm

The only windfarm in Southeast Asia, this alternative source of energy utilizes the power of the strong winds from the ocean and transforms them into electric power.  The view is a one-of-a-kind experience.

e. The Cape Bojeador Lighthouse

They call it Faro Cabo Cape Bojeador, as it set majestically on a hill overlooking the South China Sea, located approximately 35 kilometres north of the City of Laoag, the lighthouse is the most accessible of all lighthouses in the north of the Island of Luzon. It was built in 1892 and is still functioning to date, serving ships passing by the northern part of South China Sea. This is one of the famouse historical landmark in the province of Ilocos Norte. It is the highest lighthouse in the Philippines above sea level on top of a hill named Vigia de Nagparitan (estimated a total height of around 160 meters high; tower height = 17 meters approximate) and is located in the town of Burgos.
