Living in Rodriguez, Philippines:
Tips for Moving and Visiting

Many mountaineers go to Montalban to visit the “trilogy”. It is an itinerary of three mountains to which they consider “minor hike”. Teens would usually line up as early as 3:00 AM just to be the first to reach the summit for each peak. Time is important. It is because you cannot view the sea of clouds if it’s too late, or too early. Most people would travel for hours to get a glimpse of this so-called “sea of clouds” for a couple of minutes. Why should I? We have it here and it’s just one tricycle away!

My city has all the great experiences to offer. We have the tourist spots that make you wanna stay forever. as Filipinos, we offer great hospitality that makes the tourist don’t want to go home. W also has the best delicacies that will let your taste buds feel a spark. Altogether, it’s all good.

In my city there are famous tourist spots, including the Wawa Dam (Bernardo Carpio story) and more. People here are well-mannered especially to the tourist. They can also help you to some things. There such a issues surrounds here but our Mayor is doing his best to solve the issues in our city.

People are hospitable and very kind. The place is far from perfect but it holds lots of history which could be embedded to one’s memory upon visiting. There are quite majestic places to offer that will make visitors love coming back. If ever I had to visit some dream destinations, I would also suggest my place visit by the people I would meet in the future.

Our city is well known for different things, but most especially for a place. It is called Wawa; a freshwater flowing dam between two mountains. It’s home to the legend of Bernardo Carpio. A legend that led to believe the two mountains were separated by Bernardo whose strength was unmatched.

If you were moving to Montalban, Rizal, know that our city has a lot of cars even though it is just a small town; traffic is terrible. We have a beautiful water dam that’s called Wawa Dam, on the side note our mountain is starting to get ugly because of mining for gravel.

This city is best described for its simplicity. You won’t find big shopping malls, amusement parks or concert stages. If you’d like to wind down and go to a quiet place, then my city is recommended. Our city has a couple of mountains which can be hiked. It will be a good time to return to mother nature and reflect. We also have a dam where you can feel the rush of the flowing water.

For those moving here, First remember that our city was close to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, so it’s easy to go to your workplace, second all people here are hospitable and helpful, which will be a good neighbour for those moving, third is the cost of living which is mostly not a problem because houses here are low priced and you can also live on condos and apartment which we have.

Where I live is full of beautiful scenery and attractions. One of which is our prized Wawa Dam, full of gigantic rocks perfect for picture-taking. There is also the famous Pamitinan Cave known for it being camped by the Japanese soldiers during World War II and is also declared a historic site. You can also enjoy hiking on the mountain trails here while enjoying nature’s beauty.
