When we went to 
Dapitan in December, we planned of doing some sidetrips on our way home.
At the entrance gate of the hydroelectric plant
One of our itineraries was to see Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City, monikered the City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls in the city. Maria Cristina Falls is Iligan City’s landmark (Wikipedia).
Maria Cristina Falls is a waterfalls of the Agus River. The Agus Hydroelectric Plant is powered by Maria Cristina Falls.
Maria Cristina Falls' Hydroelectric Plant
Unfortunately, this river was one of the rivers which overflowed that caused the deluge devastation in Iligan brought about by the killer typhoon “Sendong”. We were very grateful that when the typhoon hit the city, we’ve already had reached our respective home sweet homes. Talk about God’s protection! 
Agus River
Anyhow, our trip to Maria Cristina Falls was worth it and time very well spent.
It is sometimes called the "twin falls" as the flow is separated by a rock at the brink of the waterfall
Seeing its beauty and grandeur would make you mutter “It’s Indeed Fun in the Philippines“!

@Rovie,
Ay! Sa Tinago Falls yon, Rovz. That was our original itinerary pati na rin ang Ma. Cristina Falls. Kaso lang, nagbago ang isip ng Bossing. We opted for Camiguin Island rather than Tinago. Kaya na-miss din namin yon.
May kasama kami, tumuloy sila sa Tinago Falls. Ang bongga din doon! Sobrang nainggit ako. If-feature ko rin yong photos ng Tinago Falls dito. You’re lucky you were able to visit there.

Ang Ganda dito Lainy,di pa ako nakapunta dito, hope makapunta ako dyan pag-uwi namin.Thanks for following me in my facebook fan at twitter.
BTW.. regarding sa question mo, I’m using canon T1i, at yong lens ko 28-135 mm at macro 60mm.
If you want to invest buy 18-200mm na lens, yon ang maganda, planning ko bumili nyang 18-200mm, di muna now, budget muna si ako.

Yes Mhie! Maganda nga dyan.It would be great if you could take time to visit the place. It’s worth the time
It’s a pleasure following you at FB and Twitter. Thanks for returning the favor.
And oh! That’s so nice of you to give me some tips. That is duly noted
What’s the difference between T1i and T3i? Pardon my ignorance, LOL!

bumalik ako dito to reply you,Canon t3 maganda din sya kasi my video, ganyan ang camera ng friend ko happy naman sya kasi hindi masyado mabigat ang quality ng picture maganda din.
If ever bili ka lang ng body kung wala silang kit na ang lens 18-200mm, at huwag yong kit na my kasali syang 18-55mm.Deritso ka na lang 18-200 mm, para isang gastos ka nah, para all around yong lens mo Lainy.
Don’t forget to buy filter lens or camera hood for protection sa lens mo.
Have fun dear, I’m sure mag-enjoy ka sa bago mong toy.

Hello dear Lainy, What beautiful temptations to see such a wonderful waterfall and a splish, splash river. A most lovely place to have a picnic. The weather and scenery look like a perfect paradise. At least I can share your view while I drink my cup of tea .. but now you have made me want to have a lovely piece of fruit cake. Many more pictures like this and I can see myself gaining a few pounds while sharing your views!! x

Hi Polly, Dearie! I’ve missed you! I am glad to see you here again. I am doubly glad as well that you like the scenic spot.
How’s your tea? And oh! The fruitcake! I can imagine that’s a yum one.
Cool your jets, my dear! I don’t want you gaining a few pounds
But hey! I am not done yet. There’s still a helluva lot more like these on my side of the world

Hi Lainy,
The difference is T1i 15.1 megapixel ang ISO is 3200 ang pinakamataas, without camera flashes. Ang T3i is 18 megapixel,I’m not sure sa ISO baka umabot sa 6200 na walang camera flashes. Ang T3 is 12.2 megapixel.
