Admire The Artistry Of Nature Through The Liog-Liog Rock In Ronda

5/17/2017

Comments

 
​Rock formations usually result from weathering and erosion. These rock formations were sculpted by nature through thousands, if not, millions of years into their present state. Rock formations simply demonstrate both the power and artistry of nature. The Philippines has a number of notable rock formations scattered across the archipelago. One of these rock formations can be found in the southwestern town of Ronda, the Liog-Liog rock formation.

Ronda

The southwestern town of Ronda used to be called Huluyaw, which was derived from the name of a banana plant that thrived in the area. It was established by a local chieftain named Pongtod, who later adopted the name Villagonzalo after a Spanish decree ordered all inhabitants of the Philippines to adopt a Spanish name. The name of the town was later changed to Ronda after the Spaniards noted that two highlands flanked the place, which was similar to a place in Spain with the same name.

Liog-Liog Rock Formation

The Liog-Liog rock formation can be found along one of the beaches of the town. The rock formation has a narrow base that forms into what appears to be a neck. This explains the name since the Cebuano word for neck is “liog.”

​There is a rubber rope leading to the rock formation, which makes it easier to climb the rock. When the tide gets high, the water typically covers the base and can even reach the top portion of the rock formation. If you want to climb the rock, you sure make sure you wear a sturdy pair of shoes and proper attire.

Other Attractions

Aside from the Liog-Liog rock formation, the town is also home to a white sand beach that some visitors refer to as a mini-Boracay. One renowned tourist spot of the town is the Lusno Falls. The town also hosts a marine sanctuary where tropical fish thrive.

Getting to Ronda

You can get on a bus bound for Ronda at the Cebu South Bus Terminal. Tell the driver or conductor to let you off at the town proper. From the town, you can hop on a motorcycle for hire going to the beach where the rock formation is situated. You can find it along the beach close to the Kasadya Aqua Park.
