Imee-Irene Twin Falls

We went to my home town November last year to visit my Father. I was born in Camarines Norte. We live in one of the barangays near Sta. Elena and around 45 minutes drive to Labo.

During my elementary years, we always swim in the river every lunch break (it is like picnic for us). At 1pm, you'll see us having red eyes and wet shorts. The teacher would notice but doesn't care much.

Another place I found is the Imee-Irene twin falls near Sta. Elena in Camarines Norte. The place is about 15-ish minutes drive from our Barangay. It was built from the help of the local government but unfortunately, it is not properly being maintained. From the main road, there is a concrete road going to the falls. 50 meters from the end of that road, you need to walk to a muddy and slippery road. Still, the Barangay will charge 20 pesos per person. Daytime robbery, isn't it?

There is no cottage. You will have to find an area to put your things. There is a toilet where you can change your clothes. No shower unfortunately. I hope the local government will re-construct the damage structures and maintain it so that people can continue enjoy the place.

From paved road going to the falls.

Muddy and slippery.

His name has surfaced in multiple investigations, raising questions about lobbying, legal ethics, and accountability. Lobbying or Legal Representation?

Despite his rebuttals, the issue snowballed into a full-blown congressional probe.
