KAWASAN FALLS

Kawasan Falls is a popular getaway destination in the southern part of Cebu.
When you get to Badian Town, you'll have to walk 15 to 30 minutes or less along a very rocky and narrow path.
But even though you might stumble a bit, just take it easy and enjoy the trek going up.
There's a beautiful river and all different kinds of tropical plants.
It's not everyday you'll have a beautiful view like this.
You'll have to cross 3 small bridges before reaching the falls.
Try to stop at this moment and look upstream.
Your camera can't wait to take some shots of the background and give you a forever lasting picture of what paradise is.

Kawasan has three waterfalls. The first one is the largest and is usually the most crowded. You can bring some food. But If you want to just relax you don't have to bring in food since it's available from the resort's restaurants.

Cottages and tables are also available for rent.

You should rent a bamboo raft to take you around the lake, or for a refreshing "waterfall massage" under the falling water. You also have the opportunity to climb up beside the waterfall and jump into the water, just like Tarzan!

While you and your friends are enjoying the cool and deep freshwater, the surroundings are relaxing and peaceful. Remember that this area is popular with locals as well as tourists!

The Badian Church

Badian church probably was the prototype for Moalboal because like the church of this later parish, Badian had a colonnade of wooden pillars that divided the nave into three. The church had a tile roof and a portico before the façade to which was attached the bell tower. This was one of the last churches in Cebu that had a tile roof, but was removed during a renovation, unfortunately. Nonetheless, the church is rather well preserved. Badian church was made of rubble and in good condition, with the dimension of 66 x 20 yards and 9 tall. This church was established as parish on August 26, 1825.

This church was named as "The Santiago Apostle Church" which was located at the town of Badian with a big plaza which can accommodate 1000 people or less as a viewer of the church activity. In the left side of this across the street was the Badian District Hospital and their Municipal Hall.They celebrated the fest of Santiago Apostle as their patron saint every 25th of July.

This church has a great contribution of the Badian cultural heritage. According to my grandparents the church was made by the Spaniards during the time that the Spanish colonize the Philippines. If you visit this church you can still see that some of the walls are made of stones as a proof also that this was made a decade ago. This church also is one of the camp sites of the Japanese on the time Japanese colonize Philippines. Japanese confescated the goods of those Badianganos (name of the people who live in Badian) who pass by in the the church and also in the hospital and in municipal hall. So, Badianganos preferly find a new way in going back in their homes even if it is already far for them but atleast they still have their goods to eat and to use.
