    i just saw an ad promoting PH tourism, featuring Kawasan Falls in Cebu.

    The guy backflipped off a bamboo raft....his head landed just inches away from it

    The ad also featured the guy seemingly jumping off one of the cliffs/falls.

    i've been told that the area is "taw-an" or enchanted. Even if you don't believe in that, a few people die annually there -- a combination of the ice cold waters and a strong undercurrent. Some who did that dive never came back up.

    True, not because of being enchanted but because of the dangerous under tow. The water is so deep it is reported that nobody has touched bottom yet.

    Speaking of enchantment, wag kayo matutulog sa villa escudero yun mga nipa hut along the lake. That lake is enchanted. Kung gwapo ka dika papatulugin at may nanganganta all night na ikaw lang makakarinig

    yup, tons of stories like that actually. majority of the deaths belongs to the tourists/strangers who are not aware of the surroundings, or should we call them simply stupid?
    the locals then warn tourists; "mag ingat kayo at taon taon may kinukuha diyan."
    and so there goes another 'victim of the year',,, sino? anong nangyare? turista, tumalon,,, lasing.

    There is also this mantayupan falls in Barili, Cebu which is rumored to have a giant squid feeding on humans. I have never been there as I got so scared when my father told me about that story.
