Hundreds of years ago, Luisiana was part of a place called Terreno de Nasunog. Old Luisiana was called Ibabang Nasunog ( Burnt Lowland) because ashes used to cover its terrain. Volcanologists were able to find out that the town lies on top of lahar and is composed of pyroclastic materials from a volcanic eruption. Luisiana also belongs to the “Kasumuran Region” where water abounds its surroundings. And because the town lies atop a plateau of the Sierra Madre mountain ranges, numerous waterfalls are present in the area.
Bumbongan falls is located at sitio Alima, in barangay San Buenaventura, southeastern remote part of Luisiana. It has two water drops coming from a clean water stream though strong water turbulence due to its height caused the water to be a little misty. Bumbongan twin falls is majestically standing about 40-45 ft in height with a large basin. Bumbongan falls is a haven for Luisiana’s town’s folks. A popular destination of the barangay intrepids during holidays especially during summer. Anyone will definitely appreciate ”Bumbongan twin falls” because of its obvious and undeniable beauty. Another natural treasure that is yet to be popularized.
Trivia:
The 2 kilometers distance of the falls from the sito’s kabahayan was made easier to reach by the help of a foreign military battalion who cleared and bulldozed a dirt road towards the mountainous slopes of Sierra Madre. Together with our local troops this foreign military battalion conducted a “Balikatan” military exercise several years back and somehow helped the community providing water wells and the much appreciated dirt road for the barangay folks.
