All your good thoughts regarding the way the Tagbanuas have managed the lake will surely be sincerely appreciated by their leadership and I volunteer to convey these to them. It has been a loooong struggle working w/ them gain legal recognition over their ancestral domain and to establish a lake visitor program. It has not been easy and they still have a lot to learn, but positive reviews like those posted here surely help. BTW, most of the income from the visitors fees of the lake are spent to support the studies of 11 Tagbanwa students, while the rest are used to defray medical/hospitalization costs of any Tagbanua from Coron island. Whatever remains are reserved for emergency loans for livelihood. Lastly, A modest Tagbwanua Heritage center will now welcome visitors of kayangan Lake!

I echo Fabian and Isa’s comment to not feed or disturb the wildlife! I’m not very familiar with the geology or ecology of Kayangan Lake, but there’s a good chance that the shrimp you met there might be endemic to that lake, having evolved there millions of years ago, and found nowhere else on Earth. Let’s respect them — as well as all the efforts of the Tagbanwas to protect their lands and waters : )

Hello Marketman… I bought a lumix fz35. Nice camera, easy to use and takes decent shots.

some of my best memories are of crouching by tidepools in La Jolla with cousins and intently watching the mini-ecosystem in them. memories of a lifetime indeed!

You need to be an adept of tai chi chuan to catch shrimps bare handed.

Was in beautiful Coron 2 weeks ago. There are so many real estate constructions going on and I am afraid that the last frontier will soon be gone. I hope not. :(

I’ve been to Kayangan Lake and it’s definitely a must-see place in Coron. My mistake though is that i stayed in an expensive resort which is not worth it. I should have searched for an affordable place to stay in Coron town and rent a banca for island hopping which is way cheaper. Aside from the fact that off-peak season could save you some bucks, you’ll be very lucky to have this place all by yourself even for an hour or two just before the other tourists arrive.
