Going to the Bani Falls(also called Matigol Falls) in Arakan Valley, North Cotabato requires you to have that great endurance as you will have to go through a not so friendly and no shade trail. However, such tough trail is rewarded with a great experience of plunging into the cascading waters of Bani Falls. It is composed of five tiers with each tier having a catch basin that serves as a natural pool.

Of all the waterfalls listed here, this waterfall found in Alamada, North Cotabato is the newest discovery and definitely one of a kind! The Asik-Ask Waterfalls aren’t your typical waterfalls that you would see coming from a river or spring, instead the water comes out from the rocks of a cliff. It’s like water that has found its way out of a crevice. The highest waterfall is estimated to be 25 meters tall while the rest waterfalls are about 5 meters long.

Davao will be my home from the end of this year. I would love to visit some of these beautiful beaches and waterfalls, but how many will will be safe for a foreigner?
Looks like I’ve visited all these falls and lots of pretty beaches in Mindanao because I come from Davao City area. Most of these if not all will be safe for a foreigner. I myself come from Loma Linda, California and traveled with a lot of foreigners in the past to these places. Being safe is relative but you have to connect with someone you can trust and knows Mindanao thoroughly well. God bless in your plans!
