Babatngon is a town of 29,000 people (2020) in the northern part of the island of Leyte, Philippines, along the shore of Carigara Bay. Babatngon is known for Busay Falls, a three-tiered cataract which is an attraction for picnickers who flock to Babatngon during the summer months. A massive bowl of solid, moss-covered rock catches the cool waters of the third fall.
