The trek to the Kabigan Falls takes approximately 25-30 minutes of walking through the rice fields and along the river which originates from the mouth of the falls. The trek gives you the experience of nature's version of musical orchestra - wherein you can only hear the rush of the running waters, sings of the birds and mountain insects and the sound of the wind through the over-grown trees and bushes.

Our Church Wedding - Couple's Prayer

We thank you, Lord and we praise You, 
For bringing us to this happy day.

You have given us to each other.
Now together, we give ourselves to You.

We ask You, Lord:
Make us one in Your Love;
Keep us one in Your Peace.

Make our love fruitful,
Bless us with children.

Bless our home.
Make us gentle.
Keep us faithful.

And when life is over unite us again
Where parting is no more
In the Kingdom of your Love.

There we will praise You,
In the happiness and peace
Of our eternal home. Amen.

A Decade of Us

A Decade of Us


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
It was the year two thousand when it sparked,
When two people, hundred of miles apart,
Started the first single step of a decade march.


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
How hot and wonderful summer that was,
Vacation from the University, no school works at last!
More important than that, I have known a beautiful lass!


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
From that blissful summer, to the months and years that pass,
The march continued through mails, SMS and long distance calls,
The journey moved through heartaches, love, sorrows and joys.


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
Through the years and despite the intriguing distance,
The seed that was implanted that summer of two thousand,
Grew into a promising tree of love, hope and happiness.


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
It was the end summer of two thousand four,
When the march reached the end of friendship,
And started a new journey of mutual love.


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
As normal relationship they said, ups and downs existed,
The happy memories and sad moments we shared,
Made you and me a solid “US”.


A decade had past, a spectacle I did not expect to last;
The year two thousand eight, when we got married first,
Two thousand nine when we renewed our vows at church,
That was a ten years passed – A great decade of Us.



Dedicated to my wife, Dr. Myrnelly Caroro-Pagdilao.
