Dalipdip, located at the top of the hill overlooking the lush greenery of neighbouring barangays and the picturesque view of Tinagong Dagat and Dumaguit Port in New Washington. The bronze bust of Diokno, another national historical marker in Altavas, was erected by the National Historical Commission to commemorate the capture of Diokno by the Americans during the Filipino-American War in 1901.

LGU Altavas allocated budget for renovation of the Altavas town plaza that involve several improvements that will enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the area. These improvements include repairing and repainting the park benches, installing new lighting fixtures, and adding new landscaping elements such as flower beds and trees.
In addition to the physical improvements, the renovation project will also involve creating new spaces for community events and activities. This includes the construction of a new stage for concerts and performances, as well as additional seating areas for visitors to enjoy the events.
