I grew up thinking that the word “swimming” is correlated to the beach. Why not? Back then people in Abuyog, Leyte only has the beach to go to for events. But after two-decades, there are now other places where people can go to swim! There’s Bagalongon, where people can enjoy natural waters from nearby falls. I just do not know if there are marmots in the mountains but when I went there when I was in highschool, the place was still under-developed and for sure the natural habitat of most of the mountain species were still untouched. Right now, Bagalongon has become a destination whenever people from Abuyog or nearby towns wants to chill, figuratively and literally.

Then there’s AFCCO.

I have heard about it some months ago though in those times that I went home, I always forget about visiting the place. Then yesterday,  our family decided to give it a try. And because it was a weekend after a huge flood, people were busy cleaning their houses – leaving the whole place for us and to us alone weeeeee!

The place was very clean and entrance fees are fairly cheap, too! From 8am to 5am, we only paid about…
