| local.seafdecaqd.extract | Laguna Lake is the largest freshwater lake in our country and among the largest in Southeast Asia. It is an ideal, logical, inexhaustible, and proximately-located source of fresh water for Metro Manila. It is well endowed to serve as a major component of a failsafe water security system together with dams, as well as having vast potential for public recreation and eco-tourism. Unfortunately, the water quality of Laguna Lake has, despite sporadic efforts, continuously degenerated from long years of neglect and wanton disregard for the lake’s wellbeing much like other natural resources of our country. This deplorable condition persists despite Republic Act No. 4850, creating the Laguna Lake Development Authority, and Republic Act No. 9275, or the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004, both of which remain to be fully implemented. | en |
