In Muntinlupa
By
The Philippines’ smallest lake is undergoing rehabilitation to showcase its marine life and become the next tourist destination in southern Metro Manila.
Jamboree Lake, located in the New Bilibid Prison reservation in Barangay Poblacion, Muntinlupa City, is now home to 30,000 tilapia and 10,000 ayungin fingerlings after Mayor Jaime Fresnedi led lake seeding efforts last week.
The city’s Lake Management Office previously conducted a water quality test in the lake and placed a set of koi fish, among other marine species.
The City Architect’s Office and Engineering Department is taking care of landscaping to beautify the lake’s surrounding areas.
Assistant Laguna Lake Development Authority General Manager Maristel Espiritu and Bureau of Corrections officer- in- charge Supt. Richard Schwarzkopf lauded the city government’s program in bringing the lake back to life.
Muntinlupa Rep. Rodolfo Biazon assured the mayor of his continued support in developing and protecting one of Muntinlupa’s prized gems.
