Gov. Gwen Garcia reopened to the public a much safer and duly rehabilitated Kawasan Falls in Badian last October 26.
The move came after four months of rehab works done to recover Kawasan’s former glory, tainted by the presence of hazardous metallic spikes and structures that were illegally built within the defined easement zones of the falls.
The Capitol, taking over in Kawasan operations, has implemented a uniform rate and policy in the conduct of canyoneering in Badian, with some 860 canyoneering tour guides enrolled by the provincial government in an insurance coverage with GSIS.
The Department of Tourism has also professionalized the conduct of canyoneering and tourism activities there by giving the tour guides trainings and accreditation. ###
