Wawa Dam

Now we're heading over to a place which is not that far from Marikina... Wawa Dam, located in Montalban (now known as Rodriguez), Rizal.

Although it's been mentioned in Wiki's list of reservoirs and dams, I'm quite surprised that this dam in Barangay Wawa doesn't have an entry yet.

Aiming for the perfect POVThe Wawa Dam being profiled by one of my photo-buddies, Dennis.

The hills to the right are made of limestone.

ManongI can't forget this guy. He kept bugging us to take his pic, so I did. Apparently, he fell down from this very spot while taking a pee (according to him, but I surmised he was drunk at the time). The height of this place is around a hundred meters up. He said he got away with only a few bruises and a gash on his head. Luck man. More on our conversation here.

The Barangay of Wawa and its hospitable residents are definitely one of the places I'd like to re-visit one day.

Parting shot: Remember the photo above with Dennis? I played with it a bit and came up with this --
