                    [Summary] => Laguna Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Southeast Asia, will be the ultimate source of domestic water supply for Metro Manila in the next 10 to 20 years. However, it is getting shallow and polluted due to the proliferation of water hyacinth or water lily and dumping of wastes like young coconut husks, the waste materials of buko pie, that chokes the shorelines and river systems.
