Bulusukan Falls, Buenavista, Marinduque


Todays posting from Marinduque.gov blog is Bulusukan Falls in Barangay Bagtingon, Buenavista. This posting is part of the Adventure Series articles by Eli Obligacion and Marinduque's Department of Tourism.
Development of this area, the Falls and surrounding Forests will support the province goal of being known as the ecotourism capital of the Philippines. The posting reported that Professor Panchito Labay of Marinduque State College has identified more than 300 endemic butterfly species in the forest around the Falls. The butterflies are apparently attracted by the high volume of negative ions in the area. Besides the butterflies, a variety of wild flowers, and animal species such as monkeys, wild cats, deer and boas thrive very well in the virgin and undeveloped forest. The area is a favorite picnic site for residents of Buenavista, Gasan and neighboring towns. Here's a short video for your enjoyment.
