00:00The Bukidnon are not only rich in the blessings of nature but also in the culture of their province.
00:08The Bukidnon are home to seven tribes in Mindanao.
00:12The second largest tribe in the Philippines is the Bukidnon.
00:16Higaunon, Talaandig, Manobo, Tiguahanon, Matigsalug, and Umayamnon.
00:24Here in Talakag, the Higaunon tribe has the largest population.
00:32They are very brave.
00:36They have a lot of culture and rituals.
00:45And the place where they perform their rituals can be found in a beautiful waterfall,
00:51Mindamora Falls, also known as the second highest waterfall in the Philippines.
00:57And today, the iWonder team will be joined by friends Janelle, Albert, Adrian, and Randy,
01:06locals of Bukidnon.
01:08They are fond of climbing mountains together.
01:12So today, they will try to climb Mindamora Falls.
01:22We have reached the receiving area.
01:26Mabuhay! Good afternoon to all of you.
01:29Sir, ma'am, we will logbook here first.
01:32After you logbook, we will go to the viewing deck.
01:39After the tour guide and locals are together,
01:43they will walk up the mountain again for 12 minutes until the view deck of the falls arrives.
01:51Let's go.
01:55But before we get there,
01:57Mommy Sue doesn't want to show us Mindamora Falls because of the strong rain.
02:04The falls are covered by fogs.
02:11Friends Janelle, Albert, Adrian, and Randy are fond of climbing mountains together.
02:17So today, they will try to climb Mindamora Falls.
02:24But before we get there,
02:26Mommy Sue doesn't want to show us Mindamora Falls because of the strong rain.
02:30The falls are covered by fogs.
02:33But there is a ritual that the locals perform there.
02:36They say they will make sure to get rid of the fogs.
02:39Here, when we have visitors, we will perform a ritual.
02:44For us, they are open to listen to our ritual
02:48because the ritual is a prayer for those who will go to the waterfalls.
02:56Before the ritual starts, they will eat together tobacco, manika, mamaon, and apog.
03:04This ritual is a way for the visitors to ask for permission from nature to see Mindamora Falls.
03:15Feeling proud and safe because they will be given a prayer guide here.
03:24After the ritual, it is very different.
03:35Here, you can see the breathtaking view of Mindamora Falls.
03:44Here in Mindamora Falls, the waterfalls are very beautiful and very high.
03:53Tourism in the area is a big help to the locals of Talacag.
03:58That's why they prefer to have more tourists visiting.
04:02Hello, KaWonders!
04:04If you want to go to Bayug Mindamora Falls, you are welcome to come here.
04:14Thank you for watching!
