Hinulugang Taktak


"Tilt shot"
by: Maricris Lomboy

      Hinulugang Taktak is a waterfall located in Taktak Road, Brgy. Dela Paz, Antipolo City. It was once a popular tourist destination famous for its refreshing and idyllic falls. It has been considered as one of the most important landscapes in the Province of Rizal, playing a role in the province’s legendary history and a part in Antipolo’s natural and cultural heritage. Legend has it that during the 16th century, a local priest was forced by the local people to drop the bell in the river due to its harsh and unbearably loud sound when rung during Angelus; thus the name “Hinulugang Taktak,” which literally means “where the bell was dropped.”

Mt. Puting Bato

Imahe
"Extreme long shot" by: Antonette Antang       Antipolo was known for having enormous mountains, one of these was the Mt. Puting Bato. It was one of the tourist spots in Antipolo especially in holy week, since it has a cross in its peak which could be seen in the whole Barangay San Luis where it was located. They named this as "Mt. Puting Bato" since the rocks appeared to be color white, but due to weathering, those colors began fading, however it will not take away the beauty the Mountain has. Aside from having an adventurous hiking through an approximately 120+ ft. mountain, we can see the wide rock formation on its top and the overwhelming view of the other mountains and infrastructure on the other side. This place is perfect for having some sense of relaxation and peace.
