It is approximately 70 kilometers away from Metropolitan Manila. It is famous for its Seven Crater Lakes, also known as Maar Lakes namely: Bunot Lake, Calibato Lake, Mohicap Lake, Palakpakin Lake, Pandin Lake, Sampaloc Lake and Yambo Lake. Its catchment area is Mt. San Cristobal with an area of 27.5 square kilometers.

San Cristobal intersected groundwater which blew out (steam-heated eruption) the overlying rocks to form a circular and crater-like depression that eventually filled up with Environmental Quality and Research Division Laguna Lake Development Authority 1 Water Quality Report of the Seven Crater Lakes 2006-2008 rainwater. The varying depths of these lakes which are from 7 meters to 156 meters suggest a volcanic origin. (Ramon B. San Andres – FSLF, Inc.) Sampaloc Lake is the largest among San Pablo’s Seven Crater Lakes. It is considered one of the prime tourist spots in the city. It abounds with tilapia, big head carp and several species of freshwater fish like ayungin, dalag and hito including shrimps. Calibato Lake is the deepest of all the seven lakes with an average depth of 156 meters. It has the greatest volume of water in storage which is approximately 29,600 cubic meters. Calibato Lake supplies the city and nearby towns with abundant fish. Pandin Lake and Yambo Lake are known as “ The Twin Lakes “.Both lakes are considered oligotropic because of their deep clear lakes with low nutrient supplies, high dissolved oxygen level and containing little organic matter. Pandin Lake is San Pablo’s best kept lake. Mohicap Lake is also a major source of tilapia for Metro Manila and suburbs. Palakpakin Lake, the shallowest among the seven lakes, is utilized as communal fishing ground. An increasing construction of fishcages resulted to limited open fishing ground for the fisherfolks. Bunot Lake is used primarily for floating cages operation where most of the resident derived their source of income.

METHODOLOGY The monitoring and sampling of the Seven Crater Lakes is conducted every month in the 1st and 4th quarters of the year and every 3rd month of the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the year. Parameters monitored include: Physico-Chemical parameters: pH Dissolved Oxygen at different depth Biochemical Oxygen Demand Ammonia Nitrate, Phosphate Total Dissolved Solids Total Suspended Solids Chloride Turbidity Biological parameters: Phytoplankton Zooplankton Chlorophyll-a Bacteriological parameters: Total Coliforms Fecal Coliforms Environmental Quality and Research Division Laguna Lake Development Authority 3 Water Quality Report of the Seven Crater Lakes 2006-2008 III. WATER QUALITY EVALUATION Monitoring data are evaluated based on the Class C Water Quality Criteria under the Department of Environment and NaturaL Resources (DENR) Administrative Order #34 Series of 1990. 1. pH The term “pH” was originally derived from the French term “pouvoir hydrogene”; in English, this means “hydrogen power.” pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of water. It is usually measured by a colorimetric test - litmus paper which changes color with increased acidity or alkalinity or by electrometric method - pH meter. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. If the water is acidic, the pH is 0 to 6.9; neutral is 7.0; alkaline is 7.1 to 14. A pH range of 6.5 to 8 is optimal for freshwater. All the Maar lake stations conformed to the pH criterion of 6.5 to 8.5 units for the period 2006 to 2008. 2006 pH 2007 2008 9 C las s C C riterion 8 7 C las s C C riterion u 6 n 5 i 4 t 3 s 2 1 0 BUNOT PANDIN YAMBO CALIBATO MOHICAP SAMPALOC PALAKPAKIN Figure 2. ph Level in the Seven Crater Lakes Environmental Quality and Research Division Laguna Lake Development Authority 4 Water Quality Report of the Seven Crater Lakes 2006-2008 2. DISSOLVED OXYGEN ( DO ) Dissolved Oxygen is a very important indicator of a water body’s ability to support aquatic life. It is found in microscopic bubbles of oxygen that are mixed in the water and occurs between water molecules. Oxygen enters the water by absorption directly from the atmosphere or by aquatic plant and algae photosynthesis. Oxygen is removed from the water by respiration and decomposition of organic matter. The colder the water, the more

  • Laguna Lake, the Philippines: Industrial Contamination Hotspots
    Laguna Lake, The Philippines: industrial contamination hotspots Iryna Labunska, Kevin Brigden, Paul Johnston Greenpeace Research Laboratories Technical Note 06/2011 June 2011 1. Introduction Contamination of natural water resources by discharges from the industrial sector in the Philippines continues to be a significant problem. In 2007, Greenpeace launched the Water Patrol to document the impact of water pollution on local communities in the Philippines. Within the framework of this project, several industrial sites located around Laguna Lake were visited in July 2010. During these visits, samples of wastewater discharges into creeks and tributaries of Laguna Lake and corresponding sediment or soil samples were collected. The sites which were chosen for investigation in this study were those accommodating potentially polluting facilities in the area. The selection of the facilities was based on the following criteria: facility operations were thought to involve the use of toxic chemicals; the facility discharged wastewater directly into Laguna Lake or one of its tributaries; in some cases, the facility had been previously identified by government agencies as a polluting industry and listed in the black or red lists by the Laguna Lake Development Authority or the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Four facilities located to the south-east of Laguna Lake were targeted in the current study: Mayer Textile; Philippine Industrial Sealants and Coatings Corporation (PIS); TNC Chemicals; Carmelray 1 Industrial Park. Wastewater is discharged from these facilities into the San Juan River and the San Cristobal River. Two other target facilities were located to the north of Laguna Lake - Hansson Papers and Litton Mills.

  • Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora De La Paz Y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-Century Manila Ma
    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-century Manila Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre Eres mi Madre, plácida Maria; Tú mi vida serás, mi fortaleza; Tú en este fiero mar serás mi guia. -Jose Rizal A la Virgen María, 1880 The Philippine rites of Mary are many and varied, each with its own unique character and homegrown tradition. These range from solemn novena to ecstatic procession, quaint poem-and-flower offering to lilting song and dance, arduous pilgrimage to carefree fiesta. These may take place on land or river, country shrine or city basilica, small community inroad or wide, expansive boulevard. But all are marked by a massive outpouring of affection and tenderness. The cult of Mary in the Philippines has grown from simple folk expression in early times to an imposing display of organized faith in the colonial era, backed by the Church itself and the cabildo or city government (Summers 1998 204), and in more recent times, propped up by a network of wealthy patrons, schools, commercial establishments, and an assortment of civic, artistic and religious organizations. For a people who call themselves in a Marian hymn, “un pueblo amante de María” (a people who love Mary), and who address Mary as “Mama” in such familial terms, these rites represent distinct personal relationships with the Mother of God, hence the variety of expression. This paper focuses on Our Lady of Antipolo, one of the most popular and historic shrines in the country. Our Lady of Antipolo Antipolo is a small town southeast of Manila, situated on a foothill of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Luzon.

  • Guerrilla Interview with Lorenzo Cornista
    Guerrilla Interview with Lorenzo Cornista By David L. Dwiggins September 9, 2006 December 1, 2011 June 22, 2014 This interview presents a small cross section of, Lorenzo Cornista’s guerrilla operations in the Philippines during Japanese Occupation, World War II. Rather than surrender, these great men chose to wage a different kind of war that was effective and further risked their lives. If not for the precise intelligence that the Filipino guerrilla organizations amassed, liberating forces could never have advanced so quickly to Leyte, Luzon and Japan eventually bringing a long waited freedom. The sufferings of fellow countrymen would have been prolonged. Lorenzo Cornista of San Pablo City, Philippines is a surviving member of San Pedro’s unit of Markings Fil-American Guerrilla Forces. Originally the organization was Hugh Straughn’s Fil-American Irregular Troops (FAIT) but after the death of Straughn, Col.Marcos V. Marking took over the FAIT’s command which he drummed up as Marking’s Fil-Americans. I consulted Lorenzo long ago about the possibilities of an interview and in agreement we decided that the late afternoon of September 9, 2006 we would meet up. My wife and I entered the 50 year-old, two-story, Spanish style bungalow and the Cornista’s saw to it we were comfortably seated then Lorenzo found contentment is a wooden rocking chair. The rocker sat at its forward position as he poured over treasures and recollections of youthful days and the adventures of war spread out on a small table. Several folders and four books were within a hand’s reach and after some greetings and pleasantries we settled into the interview.
