There used be cottages in Pangilatan Falls. But eventually, it was either destroyed or neglected. Come summer time though, the falls drew flock of tourists and nature trippers. Because it has a wide, deep basin, it can accommodate them all. Also, I heard that there are other tiers near the main waterfall.

It was past lunch time when I headed back to the village. The driver volunteered to get some fresh coconut to quench my thirst. Such a sweet-tasting buko. It easily reminded me of my trip to Dau Falls in Samboan, Cebu when we asked for buko from the local copra farmers.

Going to Pangilatan Falls in Tapaz, Capiz was a sound decision. I may not have seen the Mundos but I got a reliable contact for my Chasing Waterfalls Project should I go back to Tapaz and visit Jamindan, Capiz for the first time and see the Kalikasan Falls, Nabuyong Falls, Malinamon Falls, andPangabitkabiton Falls.

Pangilatan Falls is tucked in a lush vegetation deep into the forested mountains of Tapaz. From the sitio where we parked the motorcycle, it was just a ten-minute walk on rolling hills. Then we had to descend through an unfinished concrete path and a steep steel staircase.

The waterfall stands at about 25 meters. Days before my visit, it rained hard in Tapaz that’s why the water was a bit murky. Otherwise, it would have been great to plunge into its fresh waters and cool off for a while. According to the driver, the pool that Pangilatan Falls formed is so deep that so far only one person was able to reach the bottom. Maybe, it was better I did not

Captivating Capiz: Tapaz History

---

Tapaz was founded in 1835 but it continued being a part of Dumalag for many years. In 1862 and 1863 two letters were made to declare parish under the patronage of St. Jerome. Both were signed by Governor General Lemery, but they were never executed. Finally, in 1874, Tapaz was declared an independent parish by Jaro Bishop Mariano Cuartero.
