Tagbabanga Spring/Falls

Some calls it Pusod Falls.

Is a place in Sinai, a walking distance from the National Highway. This spring is the source of potable water that is the source of drinking water not only in Barangay Sinai but to some neighboring barangays as well.

“Partially hidden amidst rolling and craggy hills of Barangay Sinai is Tagbabanga Spring. One can reach the spring through a trail cut from the hillside and beneath coconut fields.” (Source)
