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.

Travel Quotes:

The attention of a traveller, should be particularly turned, in the first place, to the various works of Nature, to mark the distinctions of the climates he may explore, and to offer such useful observations on the different productions as may occur. William Bartram

Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water. W. C. Fields

Fiesta Foods Philippines Cuisine

For festive occasions, people band together and prepare more sophisticated dishes. Tables are often laden with expensive and labor-intensive treats requiring hours of preparation. In Filipino celebrations, lechón (also spelled litson) serves as the centerpiece of the dinner table. It is usually a whole roasted pig, but suckling pigs (lechonillo, or lechon de leche) or cattle calves (lechong baka) can also be prepared in place of the popular adult pig.
