Mt. Palpalan and Pulacan Waterfalls

Mt. Palpalan is the highest point of Pagadian City at 684masl.  It houses the satellite transmitters of LCM FM 88.7.  From the Rotonda, Mt. Palpalan is a 30-minute ride by tricycle plus about 10-minute hike to the summit.  It was one of the heart-popping rides I had and I truly admired how the driver managed the bike on various steep ascends.

The view of Pagadian Bay is best seen along the road before the jump-off as compared to the view at the summit which was somewhat covered by trees.

In Transit from Dapitan to Pagadian via Ozamiz and a Short Ozamiz City Visit

There’s a shorter bus route from Dapitan to Pagadian City via the Dipolog-Pagadian Road but…. the adventurous me dared the longer-less-travelled route of Dipolog-Oroquieta-Ozamiz-Pagadian.  So to make it to our IT for the day, we left Dapitan as early as 630am.  The cold morning breeze was a perfect kick for the long day ahead.

The whole trip, I was battling with my lashes to keep it from shutting.   I don’t wanna miss seeing Oroquieta City as we pass by and the rural feel of this side of Misamis.  Finally, after 3-1/2 hours, the welcome Ozamiz marker greeted us.  With no Ozamiz IT at hand, we just asked the trike driver to bring us to the City Hall.  I cannot think of other places to visit… Haha! My sleep deprived head has taken its toll.  And worst, I inquired with an equally oblivious driver.  When asked of Ozamiz City’s tourist places, he replied, other than the Aquamarine Park there is none… Hahaha!
