Factual concerns

Provincial boundary. It says that the Agus river forms the boundary between Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur but a look at any map shows that this is not the case because Agus River cuts through both provinces.
Highest waterfall. I've been taught this in grade school but I've come across references that say there are taller waterfalls in Mindanao. I think one is in Davao Oriental and another is in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur. See this Google search.

I fixed fact number one with a little rewording. That fact was there before I started expanding the article. As for fact no. 2, my cite is old (1970's) but it is cited nonetheless. You could fix that if you find a reliable and more recent cite that says otherwise.--Lenticel ^(talk) 03:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a reference listing the Philippines' tallest waterfalls, but not sure if it can be considered reliable: [1]. It says Aliwagwag Falls in Davao Oriental is taller. Doing a Google search for Aliwagwag falls seems to provide plenty of references saying that it is considered the tallest in the country. We can probably speculate that in the 1970s, Aliwagwag Falls hasn't been discovered yet. --seav (talk) 05:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
