Laguna de Bay
Laguna Islands Philippines

Laguna de Bay is about 90,000-hectare shallow lake with 220-km shoreline that borders Metropolitan Manila on the northwest and the provinces of Rizal and Laguna on its western, central and eastern bays. Laguna Lake basin has an approximate area of 380,000 hectares broken down into 290,000 hectares of land and 90,000 hectares of lake proper.

Twenty-one tributaries flow into it. 27 towns and 117 barangays surround it. The population in the basin area, including Metro Manila, is about 10 million. Any development in the basin, be it land or water-related, would certainly affect the lake proper through its tributaries.

Philippines Cuisine History and Influences

During the pre-Hispanic era in the Philippines, the preferred Austronesian methods for food preparation were boiling, steaming and roasting. The ingredients for common dishes were obtained from locally raised livestock. These ranged from kalabaw (water buffaloes), baka (cows), manok (chickens) and baboy (pigs) to various kinds of fish and seafood. More details at Philippines Cuisine History and Influences
