I have been to several falls in Laguna, Aklan, Bohol, Lanao and many others that Sungkilaw to me doesn't fall under "falls" but a creek with rushing white water between two boulders. The drop is only around 5 ft. The area upstream is more scenic and functional than the falls itself. The facilities--sheds, rest rooms, tables, path walk, shower rooms.--are not functional nor maintained.The only rest rooms open are at the reception building near the parking area. Entrance is free. I suggest, however, that a token fee or donation should be encouraged from visitors to maintain the facilities. With better facilities the place could be promoted as a nature park, camping ground or a weekend picnic area.There are no overnight facilities there so tourists should be urged to bring tents. Better the locals may provide overnight lodging for out of town tourists for a minimal fee. A home-stay arrangement could be okay like in Puerto Galera during peak season. I took a dip at the cool pool upstream and it was really good. It is not advisable, however, to swim because of the rapid flowing water going down the falls.I propose to the local tourism office to maintain and improve the area. There is now a wide cemented highway all the way to the falls from the junction in barangay Cogon.Second, the city government of Dipolog deploys a free ride bus that leaves city proper to the falls every two hours from the boulevard and at the integrated bus terminal in Sta Isabel near ABC in Miputak.Also a UV point to point van ferries tourists from the integrated overland bus terminal at a reasonable fare on weekends.The potential for the area as tourism destination is great.It needs only better marketing. Second, visitors could take a bus going to Pagadian and disembark in Cogon. Then they could hire a habal-habal or a motorcab going to the falls. A habal-habal from Dipolog costs P120. from Cogon P100 one way. Or visit the area in the morning and take the Libreng Sakay buses of the city government.You may also take your breakfast or lunch in Cogon. There's a restaurant near the junction. Look for Ed Facturan, a pastor, who runs this resto during weekdays.Marang,mangosten, papaya are sometimes sold in his restaurant. The place is airy and you dine al fresco..

Family packed we went to this place they called SUNGKILAW. And indeed it was a remarkable place to be with. We enjoyed our trip and we definitely have fun. Things need to improve -amenities for tourists and modernated service for less inconvenience. I am a proud Dipolognon.
