As the name suggests, “mapaso” literally means hot. Fresh crustacean (pokot) abounds. They are naturally pinkish resembling scalded shrimps due to the high temperature.

This is the ever-famous beach in Calbayog, not to mention the VIP's, foreign & local tourists that flocks in during summer time. With the breath taking crystal clear water, very fine grayish sand on its seabed and marvelous pebbles along its shoreline, this makes the place a perfect hideaway.

Bangon-Bugtong Falls

i

Located a 1-hour and 15-minute ride to Barangay Tinaplacan plus 45-minute walk to the vicinity of the falls.

Among the family of waterfalls of Calbayog City, Bangon, Bugtong Falls is one of the most majestic and spectacular spots that is worth visiting. As one ascends the stream, he will be amazed to see a circular pond of about 30 meters in diameter, wide enough for swimming and deep enough for diving. The cascading water seems to come from streams flowing endlessly resulting from the pressure of its disgorge which becomes even bigger in volume and noticeable as the time of more..
