Nasuli Cold Spring: Malaybalay Bukidnon

Nasuli Cold Spring

Nasuli Cold Spring Ready! Set! Dive! Nasuli Cold Spring is located in Malaybalay City in the province of Bukidnon with an entrance fee of 40 pesos per head and opens from 5am to 6pm. The Nasuli spring is pretty wide and surrounded by trees. Since it is surrounded by trees, there are instances where the leaves fall to the spring and so, there are employees in charge who rides in a bamboo raft who clean and get rid off the leaves from the spring. The springs' water is natural wherein it comes from underneath the ground which makes it colder than any typical pool and it is so deep that measures about 20 to 30 feet. Since the water is from the nature, it is not that clear since its bottom is muddy and makes the water blurry when you touch by your feet.

A few reminders when you are in NasuliCold Spring are the following: (1) they have no lifeguard, (2) there is no area where the kids can swim, (3) alcoholic beverages and cigarettes are not allowed, and (4) eating by the spring is not allowed.

If I were you? I spend more time with:

• Jumping Cliffs!
• Chill with a fish foot spa
• and of course eat more food after relaxing on swimming on spring

HISTORY OF BUKIDNON

The Bukidnons are one of the paleoconservative ethnical groups in the southern Philippines. They inhabit the northeastern part of Mindanao, the second largest islet of the archipelago. The term “ Bukidnon” ( mountain resider) was deduced from the Cebuano language but currently, it's accepted by utmost members of the ethnical group appertained to.

There are seven different lines in the fiefdom videlicet Talaandig, Higa-onon, Bukidnon, Umayamnon, Matigsalug, Manobo and Tigwahanon.

The lines in the fiefdom of Bukidnon are indigenous and their names are deduced from the gutters/ watershed areas that they inhabited. The Matigsalugs, for illustration, are the people who live along the Salug swash and the Tigwahanuns – are natives who inhabit the banks of the Tigwa swash.

A Datu – a chieftain, is the political and spiritual sovereign of each lineage. The Datu is one who settles controversies and gives judgment whenever their verbal laws called Batasan are violated. The Bukidnon Datu holds a great influence on the ethnical and collaborative life of the Bukidnons. Away from maintaining peace and order within the lineage, he also performs rituals like the Panlisigan ( driving down bad spirits) and Panomanoran ( calling for the entrance of spirits who guide the Datu in his opinions). Thesepre-datuship observances are precursors to other rituals that the Datu shall perform called the Kaliga-on rituals.

Bukidnon is substantiation to varying degrees of acculturation of its people. The first- degree Bukidnons are those leading the most traditional life and those whose parents are full-thoroughbred natives. They're those who lived remote from any access of lowlander influence, deep in the timber and along the watershed areas and the main gutters. The alternate- degree Bukidnons live near the circumferences of the timbers and directly within the bounds of the lowlanders. The third- degree Bukidnons are largely assimilated natives and are generally suitable to shoot their children off to academy. The fourth- degree Bukidnons have completely assimilated the ways of civic living and hardly admit the old ways of their background. The fifth- degree Bukidnons are largely recent emigrants from other corridor of the Philippine archipelago and have made Bukidnon as their endless home.

Bukidnon is home to a wealth of traditions and is pullulating in artistic, cultural and aesthetic heritage. The oral folk literature of Bukidnon are the Olaging (ethno-epic about the adventures of Agyu, the culture idol of Bukidnon), Idangdang ( ditties/ songs that tell stories), Bayok-bayok ( verses), Antoka ( mysteries), Basahan ( sayings or wise aphorisms), Limbay ( lyric lyric), Sala ( love song), and Nanangon ( reports), Tutalanon ( stories telling about the origins of effects and names of places), Dasang ( debate in verses during the settling of the bridegroom price) and the Kaliga-on ( religious and conventional songs that are sung during the Kaliga rituals; these are divided into two corridor – pamamayok, sung by the men and tabok, sung by the women while dancing the dugso). Their musical instruments are the pulala (bamboo flute), salambing ( small agong), and the kudyapi (guitar).

Bukidnon visual art is traditionally expressed in weaving, crafts, earth oil, beadwork, patchwork and embroidery. For illustration, the Bukidnons are linked for their three different kinds of weave – Tinilogas (one over one), Tigdaruwa (two over two) and Tigtatulo (two over one). They're also experimental in their operation of mat circumferences like Sinapay or Insapay, and Binaling or Igbaling. Generally, traditional Bukidnon rags are decorated with geometric shapes like Binitu-on, binabangon, and kinabuka. These traditional Bukidnon garments are extensively ornate with shapes and the strong colors of red, blue, white and black. This is also seen in the timber of the traditional “ panika” ( headgear). The Bukidnon traditional emboridery process is called panulam and the exaggerated cloth is called pinamulaan.

The religion of the Bukidnon traditional people is generally monotheistic. They believe in one God “ Magbabaya” (the sovereign of all) who has minor gods and goddesses under his command ( i.e. Ibabasok – who watches over growth of crops; Dagingon – who watches over planting and crop season; Bulalakaw – who's the god of the gutters and lakes, Tumpas Nanapiyaw or Itumbangol – who watches over the base of the earth night and day). Marriage is nearly always through maternal arrangements. A kaula-an ( bridegroom price) is to be paid by the bachelor to the bridegroom’s family. The Kaliga-an rituals are divided into kidney the political and religious bones performed by the datus and those agrarian rituals for the growers.
