Pangyan Falls — Attraction in Lupon

This is our first stop for our Bau-Bau (local tricycle) tour of Mati City. We paid 2k to go around the city to our trike driver. I think you can still haggle, but according to our driver, life is tough in this part of the town, and jobs are scarce, so we paid in full.
