Thank you friends for giving me a few moments to capture the highlight of our riverside ride, the enchanting Wawa dam, built between two mountains:Mt. Pamitinan (426+) and Mt. Binacayan (424+) in Rodriguez, Rizal,Philippines. The two mountains play a role in both history and legend. The mythical folk hero Bernardo Carpio himself is said to have separated the two mountains by his brute force in an act of self-liberation, creating the gorge, the river, and the rock formations. Another version says he remains chained in the gorge, keeping the two mountains from colliding. Andres Bonifacio sought refuge in Pamitinan Cave in 1895, and it is where he proclaimed one of the first declarations of independence, and by some accounts his words are still inscribed in the cave: “Viva la Independencia Filipinas This dam though has been more like a picnic/swimming place for the locals. GPS signal was bad causing the drone to fly on ATTI mode which made the low altitude shots even more cinematic. A company proposed to renovate this dam to be able to supply more water to the National Capital Region. Enjoy! shots made with Mavic Pro at 4K
