Bangon River

Boy contemplating a swim in the deep and swirling Bangon river? The river has risen lately because of the incessant rain, but the outflow to the sea is nearby that the town is not in any danger of getting flooded. The houses by the river have been evacuated though. Note: If you're not from here, you might notice in maps that many rivers are called Bangon river. It's because bangon in Waray means 'rapids', 'cascading' or 'swirling' waters, so a bangon is more a description (adjective) than the name of the river.
