Duhol-duhol Falls, located in Brgy. Ayuyan, Passi City, is a small yet scenic multi-tiered waterfall known for its steep terrain, which inspired its name meaning “to hand over” in the local dialect. The falls are surrounded by tropical plants and layered rock formations shaped by flowing water, forming clear pools at the base. It holds cultural value, especially during the San Juan feast, when locals gather to swim and celebrate in honor of Saint John the Baptist. The falls are also tied to local folklore, such as the barangay’s name origin and traditional practices involving the badjang plant. While it is protected by local regulations, threats like unsustainable tourism and climate change still pose risks to the area. Conservation efforts include visitor education, community clean-up drives, and rules to protect the falls’ natural beauty and ecological health.
