Matabuncca Falls and Tatlong Krus, Paete
In the town of Paete, famous for its woodcrafts, is a hill called Tatlong Krus, with a refreshing Matabungka Falls cascading from its slopes. This hill is also identified as the Mt. Humarap of Paete since it faces the town as well as Laguna de Bay – but this label is disputed by some locals who say Mt. Humarap is elsewhere.
Likewise, locals simply call Matabungka Falls as ‘Talon’, the generic Tagalog term for waterfall. What is clear, however, that this place is another wonderful destination in Laguna’s eastern side. Tatlong Krus is a local pilgrimage spot, frequented during Holy Week.
It is also a picnic place for the local youth. Basic facilities such as huts and comfort rooms have been installed. The three crosses themselves face north, fronting the town of Paete beneath, then Laguna de Bay, and finally Mt. Sembrano. The peak of Mt. Tagapo can also be identified.
