Pagsanjan Falls is located in the town of Pagsanjan, province of Laguna, south of Manila.

Arriving near the base of the fall, you take a bamboo raft to go nearer the waterfall.
The trip back down the rapids is the most exciting part.
Kawit is a town in the province of Cavite, south of Manila. It is the

Subic was once a US naval base.
When the new Philippine Constitution was ratified in 1987, it called for the dismantling of all foreign military bases.
The last american ship left Subic Bay in 1992, thus ending the 94-year presence of the American military in the Philippines.
The base was converted into a freeport zone.
