Ang pinakaiingatang yaman ng CORON ay walang iba kundi ang mga mamamayang naninirahan dito. Bago pa man maging sikat na destinasyon ang lugar na ito, TAHANAN muna ito ng mga Palaweño.

Iba’t iba man kami nang katangian at mga opinyon, naniniwala kami na hindi dapat KAMI nilalahat ng BUO. Sana, piliin nating magkaroon ng RESPONSABLE, MAPAGKUMBABA at MAKATAONG RESPETO sa isa't isa.

For the past few years, Coron has been well known for white sands beaches, lakes, lagoons, mountains, and diving sites.
But deep inside the forests of Decalachao, locals of Coron found a hidden waterfall that immediately became a go-to place for adventurous Coronians. Since this was rediscovered and exposed recently around the pandemic period, not everyone outside Coron Palawan knows that there is such an amazing destination waiting for everyone to be discovered...
-
In this "Travel and Adventure" Episode, we visited Kelyen and collected information to help you be guided on your future plans going to this hidden destination.

“The Only sad part of our adventure”
-
To the people planning to visit the Kelyen Falls. Hear us out - Nakikiusap po kami, ingatan natin yung yaman ng Coron.
-
We visited Kelyen Falls last year, and aside from the scenery - eto rin yung nadatnan namin. May we remind the people, na sana dalhin natin yung mga trashes and residue of human wastes na dala dala natin kapag pumupunta po tayo sa mga destinations. Ang kelyen falls po is not that well known pa at madalang pa po ang pumupunta sa lugar na ito, pero nkakalungkot na datnan ang mga basura at kalat na iniwan ng mga naunang pumunta samin.
-
Tinanong namin yung mga bata na nakatira malapit sa falls na naabutan naming nauna nang naliligo bago pa kami dumating - kung bakit maraming kalat doon. Ayon sa kanila, minsan kasi may may pumupunta na nag iiwan ng pinagkainan at mga baon nila (kita naman actually sa mga kalat kasi may mga delata, may mga box ng alak at iba iba pang pagkain na obviously, hindi nanggaling sa mismong lugar) - nililinis naman daw po ito nung mga nagmamalaksakit na taga doon kapag pumpunta sila sa falls - kasi kalat kalat nga daw yun pero iniipon nlng nila sa specific spot na ito para madala sa labas ng falls paunti unti. Minsan po kasi sobrang dami din ulit nung mga basura dahil nga may nagtatapon parin ng kalat from time to time. Hindi rin kasi ganon kadali na dalhin ito sa labas ng falls knowing na ang Kelyen ay malayo sa main road. - at kailangan pang mag trek at dumaan sa medyo masukal na kakahuyan bago matunton ang nasabing hidden tourist destination.
-
Siguro po magsilbi sanang awareness sa lahat, at maging responsable po tayong mga bisita sa lugar. Maraming salamat sa mga taga Kelyen na kahit papaano ay nageeffort na maglinis, mag sinop at mag ipon ng mga kalat para mapanitili ang kalinisan ng lugar kahit papaano. Pero alam natin na hindi ito sapat kung hindi tayo makikiisa - tayong mga bumibisita at plano pa lamang bumisita.
-
Huwag po nating hintayin na masira yung lugar, sayang po yung pinundar ng inang kalikasan kung tatapunan lang po natin ng basura.
-
Sa huli bago kami umuwi, wala kaming naging malaking kontribusyon kundi ang sinupin lang ang mga kalat sa loob ng mga sakot at mailigpit ang iilan ilang mga kaya namin damputin para if ever dumating yung maglilinis, nakasinop na ang mga kalat "kahit papano". Samantala, yung mga kalat na dala mismo namin (packed lunch) ay dinala namin pabalik ng bayan. Sana po, maging responsable tayong mga bisita...
