  • laguna lake is fast becoming polluted, we should start something to stop this. Hello! Laguna lake Development Authority (LLDA) what are you guys doing? Pls check if all the companies around has thier waste water treatment. DENR, you to guys please start something.
  • Just want to add the details about the depth of laguna lake. From Talim Island facing west side perhaps the dept is 2meters but facing eastern side the depth average is more than 3 meters. I used to live there and once do the fishing... Just an additional info...
  • Laguna lake is a part of our natural resources and is also a well known tourist spot we should clean laguna lake already to impress the tourist and consider us clean pople
  • Let's revive rivers all throughtout laguna....LLDA / DENR should spearhead..dont just seatdown there people..please work..To all!!! in fairness to them ( LLDA/DENR) they can not do this without our help!! lets preserve our natural resources..Clean rivers are a treasure ( Sta cruz and Pagsanjan river is a mess ) Its shameful!
  • laguna lake is a big septic tank.as long as factories dump their waste and shiit into pasig river.
  • Please salvage our natural resources in our Mother Earth, time will come She will revenge on all inhabitants that abuse Her.Let's do something good before its too late.
  • i believe we can do better in saving our beloved Bay... let's put our petty differences aside and start something good for generations of Filipinos to come... WE CAN DO IT!!!
  • Yes, this is a large septic tank of all the communities around this lake. let us help preserve this lake and report factories dumping their toxic chemicals on its tributaries. And let's do our little share by not dumping our wastes on this lake and its rivers. If this lake will die (will not habitable for fishes and plants) it is US and our future generations who will suffer!
  • It's a shame that nothing has been done over the years to protect this gem of a natural resource. I used to live in Angono and later on moved to Binangonan. The beauty of this place is undeniable and the fact that people make a living out of fishing in some areas just adds to the mystery of why such an apathy by the government people will be the cause for this beautiful lake its destruction. Wake up people! especially the officials in the surrounding provinces just do something for God's sake!
  • do not vandal this place
  • What you call Laguna Lake is Laguna de Bay. Laguna is a Spanish word for lake. Laguna and lake are the same words.In english it is called Lake Bay in which the name of the lake is Bay.
  • What can u expect sooner or later we can walk in Laguna de bay in due time! Soil eroding from deforested mountain due to man-made environmental desruction and lack of engineering drainage system in subdivision construction around Laguna lake will make it shallow later on. I had experienced soil-water flooding of our house in angono rizal everytime strong typhoon arrives.
