Last March, the webmaster visited Tinago Falls in Caibiran together with a group of appreciative Japanese visitors and took unblocked shots of this tourist attraction. Goodbye to the natural view shown above. The Biliran Provincial Government has already erected a Freudian phallus, a concrete and metal-structured kiosk (see inset at the top left corner) on the rock in the foreground. The decision for this desecration was certainly made in Naval, by some officials (present and previous) who could not seem to refrain themselves from raising and waving their middle finger, if only because they could not shout &#8220;p.tang ina ninyo!&#8221; at the Biliran public. The Tinago Phallus is an apt symbol of this contempt.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biliranisland.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/granstandintinago.jpg\" alt=\"Grandstand in Tinago Waterfalls\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>PinoyIsip:<\/strong>  <em>Grandstand in Tinago Waterfalls.<\/em> I dont get it.
