It is home to various water and landforms such as Mt. Makiling in the West, Mt. Banahaw in the South, Pagsanjan Falls in the town of Cavinti, over 700 Hot Springs in Los Baños and Calamba, and ‘Laguna De Bay’, the largest lake in the Philippines, which is surrounded by all the cities of the province. It is because of this lake that the name ‘Laguna’ was created. It was derived from the Spanish phrase La Laguna, meaning ‘The Lake.’ And it is because of these magnificent views that make it a popular city that tourists from all over the world often frequent.

Because of its size, it is able to support many kinds of lifeforms that give way to industries and businesses. With a classification of ‘Class C’ by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and their criteria, the lake is utilized for different purposes such as – “fisheries, flood reservoir, power generation, non-contact recreation, irrigation, industrial cooling, waste sink for solid and liquid wastes for different sources, and domestic water supply.” Because of this, it is one of the most integral assets the Philippines possesses. In fact, its waters supply over 40% of the capital’s fish.

This is caused by a number of factors.

According to Emiterio Hernandez, head of the Environmental Regulatory Department of the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), which oversees activities on the lake, the lake is continuously being damaged by “sediments from Amihan winds causing increased water turbidity, industrial pollutants, excessive fish feeds and chemicals like fertilizers, untreated sewage and industrial waste, nutrient pollution, raw sewage from houses near lake shores, and water hyacinths or causing major obstruction to smooth flow of navigation.” Furthermore, as every city in Laguna surrounds the lake, over 5,009 industrial and agricultural establishments directly and indirectly eject their wastes onto Laguna De Bay. According to the LLDA, this “is believed to have led to low productivity that resulted in biodiversity loss, destruction of water habitats, increased sedimentation, and elevated levels of hazardous and toxic substances that pose biological health effects.”]]> 2022-11-17 08:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387905751 marievirginiabondadab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387906160 Second, as with many disturbed bodies of water, the ecosystem that relies on the lake becomes drastically agitated. Evidence to this are the low rates of produce, which has been noticed and recorded even in the 1970s. According to the Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management Society (AEHMS), “Lower harvests in the open waters ensue because the food chain is adversely affected by pollution and a perennially high turbidity and sedimentation rate,” Additionally, because of pollution, the period of fish maturation is also reduced from the normal four to five months, to nine to twelve months.]]> 2022-11-17 08:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387906160 marievirginiabondadab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387910918 2022-11-17 08:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387910918 Technological Advancements marievirginiabondadab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387979125 By 2018, the LLDA, in collaboration with the Hungarian government, has initiated studies and investigation to establish wastewater facilities across Laguna lake. According to Hernandez, this technology “includes an early warning system which can help detect areas with high algae or low oxygen levels, among others, so the LLDA can be warned about these kinds of water quality issues,”. ]]> 2022-11-17 09:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2387979125 Laguna's Total Population franceshelaenabomedianoab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388430918 As of 2020, Laguna's population totaling up to 3,382,193 residents, increasing almost 35,000 since 2015.]]> 2022-11-17 14:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388430918 Age Distribution in Laguna franceshelaenabomedianoab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388436735 2022-11-17 15:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388436735 Gender Distribution in Laguna franceshelaenabomedianoab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388438674 2022-11-17 15:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388438674 Laguna's Annual Revenue franceshelaenabomedianoab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388447968 Laguna's revenue as of 2022 is 16.9 billion Philippine pesos, decreasing almost 660,000 PhP from the previous year.]]> 2022-11-17 15:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388447968 Crops Produced in Laguna franceshelaenabomedianoab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388455765

Time-consuming
    Everyday, the situation in Laguna lake is getting worse. Because this is a major project, it might take a while to fully establish and use it, so by then, the damage might be too much to reverse. Or, a more advanced technology is needed to fix it.

    2. Band-aid Solution
    The root cause of this problem is pollution. Even the proper disposal of waste can greatly help in not causing more damage, but with this project, it doesn't aim to unravel pollution, but to cope with it. ]]>     2022-11-17 16:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388555405     marievirginiabondadab https://padlet.com/marievirginiabondadab/x79368ttpopso48f/wish/2388559153

Although the fear of a potential surge of COVID cases remains, another prominent worry from the citizens is the lack of resources, more importantly, textbooks.

    Providing textbooks is needed when it comes to education due to the fact that it affects not only the students and teachers, but also the parents who worry about the future of their children. Studies have shown that using different materials such as textbooks can promote effective teaching. This explains that the lack of significant resources in the sector can give a negative impact to the learners. Students are not able to fully learn and improve their knowledge when they are not given sufficient resources that can assist them.
