00:00The government continues to encourage local and foreign tourists
00:05to post on social media their good experiences
00:08visiting the beautiful attractions in the Philippines.
00:12This will help to promote the tourism of the country.
00:17J. Lagang of PTV Davao has a report.
00:24If the tourist destination in Mindanao is the one we are talking about,
00:27Iligan City in Lanao del Norte will not be left behind.
00:32Iligan is known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls here in the Philippines
00:37and one of the largest cities in the Philippines, the Pinago Falls.
00:45You will have to go down 355 steps before you can reach the waterfall.
00:50The Pinago Falls is 240 feet high and 90 feet deep.
00:56That's why you need to wear a life jacket with a 60 pesos entrance fee.
01:01When we say Iligan, this is where you can offer your nature, your waterfalls.
01:06It's a perfect getaway, especially this summer.
01:09Because the Pinago is the best place in Iligan.
01:14And as a tourist, take nothing but pictures.
01:19Aside from the Pinago Falls, the Mimbalut Falls is also famous here.
01:24It is considered to be the easiest place to visit in Iligan.
01:29More than 40 waterfalls can be discovered here.
01:33In total, 23 can be visited by tourists.
01:39But not only waterfalls are famous here.
01:42Because the place is also known for its delicious toasted peanuts
01:47and other souvenirs like hopia, peanut cookie and piaya de Iligan.
01:55These products are supported by the One Town, One Product or OTOPHUB
02:01of the Department of Trade and Industry.
02:04Their advantage is that they can export their products without a reserve.
02:09During his visit to Iligan City last May,
02:13President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. encouraged the public to use
02:18the positive effects of social media to promote the tourism industry of the country.
02:23Here in Iligan, I know that toasted peanuts and hopia are very popular.
02:30So if you have one, take a picture, take a selfie with the product
02:39and post it on social media.
02:41The local government also promised that Iligan will remain peaceful and safe
02:46for locals and tourists.
