Good Friday at Magat Dam in Ramon, Isabela

While on vacation at Isabela with my in-laws, hubby and I went to Cauayan City to meet up with my law school and bar review besties, who are now our kumare and kumpare. 🙂 They took us to Ramon, Isabela so that we can take a look at Magat Dam.. I did not expect that the Magat Dam and its vicinity would literally take our breath away. The following pictures would show you why it’s worth the distance and travel time…

It was Good Friday when we went to Magat Dam. It’s quite a drive actually, with our kumpare Andrew doing all the driving. Magat Dam is located at Ramon, Isabela and have been constructed since 1982.

Can you see the ray of light at the picture below?
