Sala Falls is a 45-minutes trek from Binacas Plaza. This water falls lead to a nature made swimming pool. The water supply of the Barangay is coming from a dam, upstream of Sala Falls. The dam, christened as La Concordia Dam has been constructed at no cost to both local and national government. All cost of the project is from donors abroad through the effort of Lubang parish priest then, Fr. Ortner. |
All jobs in this project is done manually. Construction of dam, reservoir and pipe laying are done through "bayanihan". It took more than three years to finished this project.
|
Today this water system supplies water to all houses here and irrigates nearby farms. La Concordia dam and the entire system is now an attraction of this simple and cohesive barangay. During the search for Mr. Onoda, many Japanese stayed and camped here until he came out from hiding and surrender. While on search for him helicopter hovered around. |
