General Note
  • General note - Rising some 70 to 80 meters high on the west bank of the Sohoton River is a limestone cliff which was used as a stronghold and hiding place by the insurrestos during the Philippine-American was in 1899-03. From that place the insurgents dropped huge rocks and logs to enemies trapped below when negotiating the river. Earlier, during the Spanish time, convicts were allegedly thrown from the precipice; thus, the name given to the cliff, Panhulgan or Guinhulgan, which means "place where things are dropped."
