Maria Cristina Falls
Maria Cristina Falls is a waterfall of the Agus River on the island of Mindanao. It is sometimes called the "twin falls" as the flow is separated by a rock at the brink of the waterfall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iligan City - The City of Waterfalls )〕 It is a landmark of Iligan City, nicknamed the City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls in the city.〔(Official Website of the Iligan City Government - Scenic Spots )〕 It is located 9.3 kilometers away southwest of the city proper at the boundaries of Barangays Maria Cristina, Ditucalan, and Buru-un.〔 Well known for its natural beauty and grandeur, the 320 - feet (98 meters) high waterfall is also the primary source of electric power for the city's industries, being harnessed by the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant.〔
==Agus VI hydroelectric plant==
Maria Cristina Falls powers the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant, one of the several hydroelectric plants that harness Agus River. The power plant has a 200 MW potential capacity〔(Philippine Government tourism page on Iligan City )〕 supplied by a water flow of about 130 cubic meters per second.〔
Agus VI is operated by the National Power Corporation and was commissioned on May 31, 1953.〔(NAPOCOR Power Generation Plants in Mindanao ) - National Statistical Coordination Board〕 Under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's Mindanao Super Region development plan, the Agus VI is planned to undergo a 1.856-billion-peso upgrading project.〔Rebultan, Babes J.
