We decided to head on to Wawa Dam. See that falls over there? Will visit that later. Wawa Dam (also known as Montalban Dam) is a gravity dam constructed over the Marikina River in the municipality of Rodriguez in Rizal province, Philippines. The slightly arched dam is situated in the 360-metre (1,180 ft) high Montalban Gorge or Wawa Gorge, a water gap in the Sierra Madre Mountains, east of Manila.

Looking at this scenic view, I remember a myth that was told when I was still in elementary. It was a story about Bernardo Carpio, a man with a strength that was similar to Hercules and was told to cause earthquakes and separated this mountain in Montalban. It was long time ago and yet this was the first time I ever witness this scenery here in Rizal. It was the mountains called Mt. Pamitinan and Mt. Binakayan.
