00:00For our KRS-P nature lovers,
00:03there is a fall in Agusan del Sur
00:06that you can visit and you will be amazed by its beauty.
00:10Let's travel to the Ulat ni Rod Lagusan.
00:16If you are going to visit the province of Agusan del Sur,
00:20you should not miss Vega Falls in the City of Prosperity.
00:24Especially if you are a nature lover.
00:27You will definitely like the place
00:29because of the clean and cold water from the waterfall.
00:32That's why it is not surprising that it is visited by many tourists.
00:36The total length of Vega Falls is about 5 kilometers
00:41and it is made up of 11 waterfalls.
00:43Because of the rich nature that exists here,
00:46different species of plants and animals can be found here.
00:49It is said that the name Vega came from the plant of Gabi
00:53or from the folklore that exists here.
00:56Vega Waterfalls is most dominated by limestone.
01:01The highest source of water is a mountain made of limestone.
01:08There are many caves up there.
01:11Because of the beauty of the view,
01:13up to 400 tourists visit the falls every day.
01:17Because of the 19 drops,
01:19it was controlled.
01:21Only 3 were exposed.
01:23Then it was delineated.
01:25290 hectares along this area
01:28is now called a local conservation area.
01:31So, there is no activity in the area.
01:34And then,
01:35the species that we know are very few.
01:41Meanwhile, the tradition of Agusan del Sur is still alive
01:45and it is a source of tourism.
01:47Suyang is included here,
01:49the traditional village of Agusan Manobo
01:52where Abina or M.B.E. Bingkoguit was named
01:55as the most famous village in the past.
02:00It doesn't matter.
02:01It is my family's life.
02:05She said that it is very important
02:08because first, it came from the ancestors.
02:11She is proud because
02:13now, she is known as a leader.
02:17She is willing to teach other youth
02:21about Suyang so that it won't be lost.
02:24Especially now that
02:26most of her grandchildren have learned.
02:29In the Department of Tourism,
02:31Our goal is to be able to increase
02:34tourism opportunities by highlighting
02:37the chances and opportunities
02:39of our lesser-known destinations.
02:41Under the Philippine Experience Program,
02:43DOT strengthens tourism
02:45in each region so that it can be better known.
