We were supposed to wake up at five in the morning to see the waterfalls in Mt. Busay. The keyword is supposed. We woke up three hours later and scrambled for the one hour trip to Malilipot, Albay.

We had no idea that there were seven falls in Mt. Busay and we were told each of them is reachable with a guide. After sweating and grunting through narrow pathways and sheer cliffs we passed Busay’s first, second and third crashing waterfalls. The last three falls were too far so we opted to go back after reaching and taking a cool dip at the fourth one.
