I was a student for a year at Mindanao State University (MSU) as a exchange scholar from my country in Malaysia way back 1968. I never thought of visiting Maria Cristina Falls! I don't know why? It was only in 2018 that I visited the place due to the persistent encouragement of my grandchildren. It was majestic indeed.

This type of video has made me realize how beautiful mindanao is too much bad publicity but its really untouched beauty.

I am so glad I stumbled on to your vlog a few months ago. You have made me want to visit the Philippines. Also, it does not matter where a child is - they are going to collect leaves, sticks and stones! 😂 We are all the same aren’t we?!

...wow wow wow...thanks 8milesfromhome fam..we proud of sacha jmayel and story cudos to kuya jun2...💕

You have such a gentle way with words, Jay.

It looks like you had a wonderful time at the falls and Story she is a real trooper with all changes. I love watching what Philipinnes is doing to advance themselve so that someday soon that they are completely independent of the West!

I am so intrigued by your relationship with Jun Jun: employer/employee?, friend, driver, provider of your transportation, tour guide, security, and so on. Since you and him seem content with you arrangement, that's just beautiful!---As well, your road trip to Mindanao is such a delightful discovery and spectacular. You all be well!

I can hear the sound of nature, so calming ❤️ take care beautiful family

It is one of our. most famous falls in the country.

Nice place iligan water falls👍👍👍👍

wow! i'm glad you have finally seen Christina's beauty. I have yet to see it!!!!!!!

Maria Cristina Falls is my very first experience where I felt nature can give you a different kind of feeling, close to spiritual. I miss Iligan. I miss Mindanao

WOWEEE that waterfall is STUNNING!

You really take us to the most secret beautiful places in the Philippines! Thank you! Carry on! 😎

OMG I am really feeling like a foreigner in my own country. I'm a nurse here in England for 22 years now and I left the Philippines when I was 23. Never been to Mindanao myself, so thank you for the tour. I hope more tourists will visit Mindanao more.

You have such a beautiful family! Such positive outlook, humility and charming smiles..Story is growing up to a very obedient, kind, smart and friendly child! Take care and stay safe !

It feels like am also touring mindanao. Thanks, as always, Jay, Sacha and story for sharing your experience with everyone. Y’all take care and stay safe.

I am from South Cotabato, Mindanao, and during my Elementary days, we always heared about Christina falls and a drawing or picture on our History subjects.. thank you for showing us on video how it looks 🥰

Hi Jay, Sacha and Story. I am thrilled you were able to see these particular waterfalls. I was there on New Years Eve 2019 on our way back from Zamboanga del Sur to Davao. It was a long drive but I insisted we stop there. It was closed then but I was able to convince them to allow us to visit. It is amazing. My daughter Zoa had turned six and was also fascinated by the cave full of bats 😊. Thanks for sharing and have a safe trip back to Surigao. This was clearly worth the stop. Thanks JunJun.

I admire you guys for being a strong minded foreigners , after that bad experienced in Siargao, and you still want to stay to that island !

Im from Iligan who's based now in New York. Missing home for real. Thanks for dropping by Ma Cristina again.

Terrific waterfall. You talk about the power of nature; and you are right. Whenever I see a waterfall, I remember that nature had to first raise from sea-level, every drop that is tumbling down. Imagine the manpower and energy that would be required to lift that amount of water.

Long way to drive from dapitan city dipolog city to iligan city now thank you kuya jun2x

We study Ma. Cristina falls in primary school but this is actually the first time saw it other than the picture in the book.thank you Jay Sacha and Story Amber for showing us this amazing water falls.Hello vlog i love these guys😍😍😍💖💖💖❤❤❤👍👍👍

Wow...❤️

My son-in-law's family is from Iligan City, and in one of our visits there around 10 years ago, we were able to zipline across the river with the falls in the background. It was an amazing experience! I do appreciate all your positive narratives of what you see and experience in the country. I love watching your videos and do so every day.

WOW,BEAUTIFUL FAMILY 👪❤

Hello 8miles from Home😘 Thanks for showing us this stunning Iligan City. The majestic mountain views and Cristina Falls are extraordinarily amazing ❤️ I would definitely put this in my bucket list 🙏 So appreciate all these places I’ve never been. I wish the video is longer than 10 minutes 😀 Btw...Story is growing so fast and so beautiful and smart. Take care always:

Normally anywhere you are in the Philippines, when they hear about Mindanao they always associated it with terror, lawless place, little they know Mindanao has a lot of stunning sceneries , very proud to be a Mindanao gal

Hi! Happy you are now in our place ILIGAN CITY. City of waterfalls👍👍👍👍❤️💖♥️. God bless this family stay safe always.!

I’m thankful to this Family as well as to Jun2x and their adopted Family back in siargao bcoz they’re showing to the world the beauty of mindanao which most people and even most Filipinos scared to go to. Through their videos I able to see these places and makes me feel like I’ve been there too. I hope all is well and safe and I hope and pray for your safe travel back home to siargao soon guys❤️😇🙏🏼

You are finally on a trip too I'm late watch🥰😍

When i was in my elementary grade i just saw MARIA CRISTINA FALLS in postcards as one of the most beautiful scenic spots of my country, but now watching it in your vedio i feel like I've seen it personally..BEAUTIFUL CREATION OF GOD! AMASING! Thank you Jay for this content.

Thank you for coming to my home town iligan city 😍😍😍

Thank you for showing us that very beautiful place.

Thank you Jay Sacha and Story with puppy for a wonderful and educational vlogs you always shared with us. It is very interesting and helpful because we got a chance to travel by means of your vlogs in Mindanao. Thank you for this kind of content. 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

Thank you 8 miles for showing MINDA NAO TO THE WORLD.

Amazing iligan love the falls wow captivating falls in iligan city.. Love it..

I went there in Maria Christina Falls when I was in High School. God bless and take care guys..

Beautjful and Amazing place....tc guys..tc cutie Story😃💝

Keep safe always💚

Wow! I can’t believe it’s so beautiful. 😍 I’ve never known of any vloggers covering Maria Christina Falls before. It’s so gorgeous!! 💯👏🏻😍😍😍

Hello Jay, Sach and Story, thanks for visiting my hometown.. my family used to lived on a housing community near Maria Cristina Falls.. there was a time when you can stand on the plantform area of the power plant and you very near the falls and you can feel the mist and dew of the falls in your face, but now its prohibited.. you shouldve visited the spring pools in iligan called timoga and tried the lechon being sold at the area.. theres a falls called Tinago where you can take a dip as well, but itll be a journey cause you have to walk a long way down to reach the falls.. thanks again for visiting and promoting my hometown.. more power to your channel..

Wow!!! What an amazing adventure - now I want to visit Iligan when I return to the Philippines.

Thanks for visiting Iligan City, a small but perfect city to live in. I am from Batangas, spent my childhood in Tibiao Antique, and finally settled in this wonderful city now I called my homeplace. Maria Cristina Falls is one of the many waterfalls in the city, other famous falls nearby are the Tinago and Mimbalut falls. Maybe on your next visit, you can stop by the Timoga spring pool. I hope you enjoyed your walks at Hinaplanon esplanades and your daughter enjoyed the river view and the fresh air. The stopover at one of my favorite coffee shops at Solana is just perfect too and it's actually just a walk away to one of the best state universities in the Philippines, the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology. Maybe a sumptuous lunch of Lechon and hanging rice (called puso!) and a swim in ice-cold mineral water like a spring pool at Timoga will complete your next visit. Daghan salamat sa pagbisita in one of the safest cities in Mindanao, the Iligan City.

OMG!!!Were here at the back of splanade!!!!New frontier subd...I always watching your videos and one of your subscribers...

Praise God👼 Wow i am so happy to ure lovely family, and ure all lucky to visit our tourist spot maria christins falls,because it is so peaceful when ure thre, and ure family are grear.😘😍✨👼

Agus 6 & 7 Plant in Maria Christina if I still remember it correctly. Agus 1 from the Lake Lanao waters and so on... - uses step down/step up system so it can maximize the current of the water. Had our field trip to all Agus plants way back college days including- seeing the turbines underground the manmade lake. Those were the days. 😄

Majestic falls,,,Maria Cristina Falls

Thank you for showing the Maria Cristina falls.

Awesome, lovely to see you guys again.

Take care of your selves in touring around Mindanao. Good luck. God bless both of you.

Amazing the world is overcrowded and yet nobody there at the falls but you.

Thank you for being our window to our beautiful Philippines 💗

Fantastic trip!!!

Thank you for touring us all Mindanao nice ma. Cristina falls i have never been came to Mindanao since my birth. Very grateful for your video showing us many places and beautiful scenery. Be safe good day to you all. God bless everyone.

I was born in Iligan City. I miss the place. I grew up there but I'm in New Zealand now so I requested to blog in the place where I was born because I miss the city and I haven't seen it for a long time. Thank you for blogging at Iligan city at least, somehow I can see Iligan because of you guys Thank you very much. Eight Miles From Home. The place where you drank coffee I have a laundry shop across the street. the name Heaven Scent Laundry, I also have a machine shop there on Camague highway called Layug Machine Shop

Proud to be iliganon ♥ ♥ ♥ there's still a lot to see above glad you've visited the pride of iligan city of majestic waterfalls hope you have a good day and always be safe God bless you and your family ♥ ♥

ganda naman diyan sana makarating din ako diyan Mabuhay

Thanks for showing us a lot of what nice places of Mindanao look like. So glad you did enjoy touring these places. And, have a safe trip back to Siargao, which you've considered your home for now. Looking forward to your next journey. God bless you, Sacha and Story.❤️

Mindanao gets more than half of its electricity from hydropower. Aside from Maria Cristina, there's also the Pulangui Dam in Bukidnon and the Agusan Dam in Agusan. But the island itself heavily depends on Maria Cristina.

Hi Jay, Sha and Story and Poppy..thanks for sharing the beautiful places you've seen,I'm from Mindanao but haven't reach those places you've been .thanks and safe travel back to Siargao...🙏🙏🙏🙏

You guys are amazing! 👏 Nice to have a short vacation to relax the body and mind. Keep the positive attitude. Thank you for helping in rebuilding Siargao. Stay safe!

Stunning falls!

Thanks Jay, Sacha, our adorable Story and kuya Jun2x for showing them around Mindanao....truly Maria Cristina Fall is majestic...just enjoy, be careful. take care and stay safe always....God bless.

Hope you could also visit Southern Mindanao, Davao Region and SOCCSKSARGEN❤

Wonderful travels you did in Mindanao... a big part of my country that I have never been to. Thank you for appreciating our country and showing us through your travels the beauty of Mindanao... Lucky Little Story for her travels with you in seeing places...it is also very educational for her...Hoping to visit Mindanao someday..

HI THANKS FOR VISITING ILIGAN CITY I LIVE HERE MY HOUSE JUST 4KILOMETERS AWAY FROM MARIA CHRISTINA FALLS... HEHEHE THANKS. BE SAFE.

Iligan perhaps is less or more than 200 kms from Dapitan City. I just passed by to that beautiful falls every time I went to Cagayan. That's absolutely stunning! And haven't visited yet there! What a pity. You should have visited what we called the summer Capital in Zamboanga Del Norte. Mutia town and Osmeña. These towns are located in higher elevation and it's really cold just like Baguio City.

I absolutely adore Junjun..you guys are so lucky to have an amazing friend like him..loving these videos

Maria Cristina Falls is AWESOME!

Sir/ma'am.. Ingat kayo po.

Morning world from Southern California!

Glad you could visit our Mindanao Godbless your family thanks for showing us our country beautuful
