In the heat of Tanay, Rizal, tourists flock to its renowned waterfalls, Daranak and Batlag Falls, known for their scenic beauty and refreshing waters. According to Tanay’s tourism supervisor, Don Mart Gerones, the cool, blue-green waters of Daranak Falls originate from the Masungi karst rock formation, enriched with natural lime giving it a bluish hue.
