Lagulo Falls 💔 (An Eye-Opener Post)

It is indeed disheartening to witness a once-beautiful natural wonder like Lagulo Falls in Barangay Lagulo, Nagcarlan, Laguna falls prey to neglect and environmental degradation. The sight of unkept surroundings littered with garbage, unclear and unclean water, and ugly illegal cottage constructions can evoke a sense of sadness and disappointment among visitors who yearn to experience the serenity and beauty of nature.

Lagulo Falls, which was once known for offering a quick escape from the summer heat, now stands as a stark reminder of how human actions can impact the environment. The deterioration of this once-lovely waterfall serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of conservation and responsible tourism practices to preserve our natural treasures for future generations.

Unlike other waterfalls that boast crystal-clear, strong cascading waters, Lagulo Falls may no longer exhibit the pristine beauty it once possessed. The water's clarity may have diminished, losing its emerald-clear allure due to pollution and human interference. The current state of Lagulo Falls serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of neglect and the urgent need for concerted efforts to restore and protect our natural ecosystems.

While it may be disheartening to witness Lagulo Falls in its current condition, there is still hope for revitalization and restoration. By raising awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and engaging in community-led conservation efforts, we can work together to revive Lagulo Falls and preserve its natural splendor for generations to come.

Let us not dwell on the sadness evoked by Lagulo Falls' current situation, but instead, let it serve as a call to action for environmental stewardship and a reminder of the fragility of our natural world. Together, we can work towards restoring Lagulo Falls to its former glory and ensure that it remains a cherished destination for all to enjoy, appreciate, and protect.

Went here on a Friday 16 FEB 2024 and walang tao yung lugar which best na pumunta is during weekdays.

Maliit lang yung area ng paliguan ng water falls. May cottage sa side na lalong nag padilim sa lugar. I think mga 8 to 10 feet yung drop ng waterfalls. Hindi ganun ka linaw yung tubig, may mga bahayan sa right side ng waterfalls. May mga basura and bula yung tubig ng falls and hindi din ganun kalakas yung agos ng tubig pababa sa falls.

I felt sadness 😔 nung nakita ko tong falls na ito, it was not well kept. Nakakalungkot na mukhang hindi sya na aalagaan kase malabo yung tubig, may mga basura, may mga bahayan sa paligid which is an eyesore for me. Nakakapanghinayang 😔 na ganito na yung kinahinatnan ng falls na ito. Ang sabe napapaliguan pa naman daw sya pero for me na naka punta na sa malilinaw na falls lungkot yung naramdaman ko para dito. Walang signage yung falls kaya you need to ask kung san yung eksaktong place nya. Very accessible naman yung trail papunta sa kanya it only takes 10 to 15mins para ma reach mo sya.

Sana ma rehabilitate yung falls na ito para mabuhay yung turismo sa Barangay. Unahin sanang linisin at pahalagan yung paligid ng falls. May bula yung tubig which is a sign na contaminated sya and madumi. Tanggalin yung cottage sa gilid ng falls at ipuwesto ito sa bandang malayo sa falls para maging ma aliwalas at maliwanag yung area ng waterfalls. Tanggalin yung ginawang parang CR dun na nakakadagdag sa eyesore ng lugar😔 and tanggalan din sya ng mga basura. Hindi din maganda yung extension ng bahay na sinakop na yung area ng daluyan ng tubig😔 sana mabasa ito ng Barangay na nakaka sakop sa kanya its actually a few steps away sa waterfalls. Lagyan nila ng entrance fee para may pang maintenance sa paligid ng falls.
