Sebasi River

Sebasi River is only one of the Misamis Occidental rivers running from Mount Malindang range in Misamis Occidental.  In this spot at Stimson Abordo, Ozamiz City, you can enjoy swimming with family and friends for free!  For a list of Misamis Occidental natural wonders, visit this article.

Labo River

Labo River is the longest running river in Ozamiz City amongst Misamis Occidental rivers, also coming from Mount Malindang range.  In this spot at Clarin, Misamis Occidental, you can conveniently enjoy swimming with family and friends because this area has turned into a make-shift resort with cottages and convenience stores.  Parking is not for free so prepare P20 for each vehicle and P100 for each cottage plus P5/pax for using the toilet, by the way.  Visit the article List of Tourist Attractions in Misamis Occidental for other river resorts in the province.

Enchanted River

Enchanted River is the most crystal-clear-water river I ever see in my entire life!  Located in Surigao del Sur, it is believed to be a home of the encantados and encantadas thus given its name for the enchantment.  Nymphs protect the river and nobody had ever fathomed the depths of this world-renowned mysterious river.

So these are only a few of the Philippine rivers I’ve visited.  To honor our rivers, I participated in the world river run by Mina Guli from June 2-5, 2021.  I dedicated 21km for Labo River as it is also one of the water sources here in our city.  Let us save our bodies of water as Mina Guli says, “Our rivers are always running for us.  Let’s run for them!”  Do check her website here!

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
