Wawa Dam - Sitio Wawa, Rodriguez (Montalban), Rizal - Constructed in 1909 by the Americans as a reservoir and pumping facility. It stood witness to fierce fighting during the Japanese occupation as American soldiers retook the area.

Local legend says that Bernardo Carpio, a giant in Philippine Mythology, parted the two rocks in the Wawa Dam site to escape his captors. Proof to this are the imprints of his hands and feet found on the limestone walls of the mountains and huge rocks that abound at the river beneath.

From Bohol

"The Chocolate Hills"
One of Philippines' many natural wonders in the Province of Bohol.

Vote for it to the "New 7 Wonders of Nature" here: www.new7wonders.com/nature/en/liveranking/

During hot seasons, the grass dries and turns brown and all you will see here are hills of brown umber shades, thus the name.
