TRIVIA:

  1. Timangguyob is a local term equivalent to the Tagalog ‘tambuli’ or blow horn which is usually made from conch shell (in seaside areas) and carabao or cow horn. Usually used as a warning or signalling devise. Supposedly, when the waters are raging and the winds blow hard, the falls emit a sound as that of a tambuli being blown.
  2. Dueg is Pangasinense word for carabao.
