buhanginan hill

We travelled by Jeepnee to Ilgian City Hall, the building is on the top of the hill and gives a scenic view of the city. For all those who get married to a Philippine resident, Iligan City Hall is also the place where you can get your Certificate of Marriage, once you have registered the marriage at the City Hall. We were assisted by a friendly staff member, who processed our paperwork very efficiently. We then went to pay for our Certificate of Marriage (printed on yellow paper, with the National Statistics Office logo on the top left of it) I can't recall the exact amount we paid, it could be around Php200. There is also a garden just opposite the City Hall. I also noticed a basketball court with lots of seating and found out from my wife that it is the Anahaw Amphitheater. I've done lots of processing of paperwork with my wife, in Ilgian and other cities, and what i found is that they are very well organised. I was very impressed with that part. I love the way they do things in the Philippines. They are the friendliest people out there.

Buhanginan HillThe highest elevation within the city proper, you will find the Iligan City Hall, the City Municipal Building and many more local government offices here. The beautiful and popular Anahaw Amphetheater, one of the largest of its kind in the region is here also. Many festivities take place at the Anahaw Amphetheater including the Monday Morning Flag Raising Ceremony beginning at 8AM. As a visitor I found this weekly ceremony most interesting and entertaining to watch.There is a moderate sized park across from City Hall that overlooks Iligan City and be a great photo opportunity. There is an outdoor food vendor for snack and other types of food and beverages.The somewhat winding and recently re-concreted access road ascending up the hill from it's junction at Quezon Avenue provides for some beautiful scenic views. You may get there easily by car, taxi and jeepney. At the top of the hill go left for City Hall and the Municipal building, and to the right for the Department of Tourism.Well worth the visit, and for tourist brochures and other information for tourists and visitors the Iligan City Department is at your service. Turn right at the top of the hill and the stand alone building for the Dept. of Tourism is a short distance down the road on the left.
