As a destination of opportunity and enter­prise, Laguna is one of the must­go attractions in the major island of Luzon. Its majestic mountains, hot springs, historical landmarks, exotic flora and fauna and theme parks are just some of the reasons local and foreign visitors would not forgo when visiting the Philippines.

The birthplace of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, the rapids in Pagsanjan Falls, the legend of Mt. Makiling, the mystic of Lake Caliraya, the nature’s bounty of Hidden Valley, the underground cemetery of Nagcarlan and a number of natural and man­made wonders never fail to catch the fascination of adventure and nature lovers. Its century old churches, ancestral homes, local handicrafts and native delicacies truly give tourists a glimpse of the rich culture and history of its people.

As the Department of Tourism congratulates the Provincial Government of Laguna for coming up with a coffee table book of its dynamic and beautiful province, we welcome all of you to a treasure trove of 7,107 islands filled with wonderful discoveries that include lush tropical landscapes, fine hotels and resorts, up­market and bargain shopping centers, exciting outdoor and nightfall activities, a variety of dining places that serve exotic concoctions of culinary delight, and above all…experience the warmest and friendliest welcome absolutely beyond the usual. Mabuhay!

Congratulations to Hon. Teresita S. Lazaro, Governor of Laguna and to the officials and staff of the Provincial Government of Laguna for a most successful launch of its coffee table book that celebrates the wealth of its natural wonders, the outstanding quality of its citizens and the heritage of its people – all of which define the eminence of Laguna as one of the most progressive provinces of the country.

The book entitled “Celebration of Life” traces the storied past of the province from the pre­Hispanic settlement sites on the banks of Laguna de Bay, to the treasure trove of its Spanish colonial architecture of its churches and residences; public plazas onward to the present day progressive towns and cities; its outstanding tourist attractions and protected areas. The book is envisioned to be an excellent reference material for the present and future generations.

We commend the efforts of the Provincial Government of Laguna for implementing projects that will contribute much to the development of tourism and the appreciation of culture of the Southern Tagalog Region.

Keep the banner flying high!

LOUELLA C. JURILLADirector – Region IVDepartment of Tourism

Known as the Resort Province of the Philippines, Laguna

basks with natural endowments that can lure the soul to

the bounds of pleasure and wonder. Its fresh and pristine

bodies of water, luxuriant mountains and breathtaking

landscapes make the province an ideal hotspot for travel

and leisure. Laguna’s allure and potentials, however,

extend beyond these marvels.

Laguna: A Celebration of Life graciously

uncovers the seemingly limitless surprises of this Southern

Tagalog province—from its colorful history and culture

to its tourism attractions and opportunities. It brings to

the fore each of the unique features of Laguna’s 26 towns

and four cities for a heartening rediscovery of Laguna as

home of splendorous treasures and delights, as well as a

wonderful place of escape to celebrate life.

The Laguna you will witness in this coffee table book is the Laguna that we have become – a province of boundless possibilities. It has become a benchmark of a vibrant and dynamic mixed economy where fast­paced industrial and commercial growth thrive side­by­side with a robust and highly productive agriculture.

Having been the premier industrial destination for the past several years, the Province of Laguna has managed to attract the biggest and best investments in industry becoming lot of things to a lot of people – the Detroit of the Philippines, the Silicon Valley of the Philippines, and just recently the new ICT center of the country.

Laguna runs smack in the middle to strategic growth corridors of CALABARZON and MARILAQUE as well as the Urban Beltway that connects Southern Luzon, Metro Manila and Central Luzon into a high growth Super Region. As such, Laguna takes full advantage of the infrastructure, facilities build­up, the concentration of resources and the convergence of people and skills.

In agriculture, Laguna has built itself into a highly productive area leveraging from the newest technologies and advance planting practices from the various research institutions within its bounds i.e. IRRI, Philrice, SEARCA, UP Los Baños, etc.

Laguna also has become a top draw destination for domestic and foreign tourists with its mix of theme parks, world­renowned destinations like the Pagsanjan Falls, cultural and historical destinations, numerous natural attractions and ingenious products.

But the main strength that has made Laguna into what it is now is the industrious, innovative, and persevering people. Laguna has become a concentration of talent, and skills necessary to stoke the flames of growth with its people eagerly facing progress confidently hand­in­hand.

Truly, Laguna is the land of boundless possibilities.

AlaminosA stretch of road slicing a verdant plateau

where Mount Makiling meets Mount Banahaw would give a traveler a unique

experience of the two mystic mountains’ feral charm. And yet, where the paved highway uncovers an inhabited hinterland lies the town of Alaminos—an upland municipality that gives a bonus of the merging mountains’ exceptional surprises.

The moment Alaminos’ gentle winds blow, an interesting leisure up ahead is certain. A stroll about town is a satisfying bit of one’s visit as it imparts the town’s quiescence and inbuilt wonders. A typical agricultural town of cordial people through the ages, Alaminos has gradually renovated itself by picking up with the changes brought about by the modern times. A number of ancestral houses that humbly mingle with modest homes, some commercial stores and other business establishments in the midst of lush vegetation shape the present environs of this burgeoning community.

Formerly a barrio of San Pablo called Trinchera (Spanish for ditch) because of the presence of deep ditches around, Alaminos was then the place where fugitives hid from the Spanish authority. Through the efforts of Capitan General Juan de Alaminos Rivera, it separated from San Pablo in 1873 and became a town of Batangas. It was renamed Alaminos as a tribute to the Capitan General. In 1903, the jurisdiction of the town was transferred to the province of Laguna.

The hilly terrains of Alaminos teem with almost unspoiled vegetation. Rare century-old hardwood trees can still be found around and tropical fruit trees abound in relative abundance. Here, catching sight of freshly picked fruits and other crops displayed in stalls along Maharlika Highway is a common scenario luring many a traveler to stop by. No wonder why Alaminos is the home of the famous Kayumanggi bottled preserves—a trademark that has made the famous halo-halo one easy-to-prepare Filipino dessert. But, aside from bottled preserves for which the town has long been noted for, Alaminos is also fast becoming a proverbial name in the world of agri-business with the emergence of the 16-hectare Alaminos Goat Farm along the Maharlika Highway. Since 2004, the farm produces the choicest breeds of goats and fresh goat’s meat, bottled milk and white cheese.

When harvesting season in October is at its peak, Alaminos comes in full swing. It is the time of year when folks from all 15 barangays gather round for the Coramblan (contraction of Coconut, Rambutan and Lanzones) Festival—a tribute to three fruit trees that primarily occupy most of the town’s agricultural expanse. The nine-day festivity is also a sort of thanksgiving to its patron saint, Nuestra Señora del Pilar, for the bountiful annual harvest.

As the streets of Alaminos display the colors of Coramblan, in the midst of the reveling townspeople, another spell is cast.

BayThe First

Capital Town of Laguna

F lowers and ornamental plants of vibrant colors and hues—bougainvilleas and euphorbias of various shades, exotic orchids of different

hybrids and varieties—and all that could make a garden into a horticultural haven summed up to the town of Bay’s fascinating charm and offering. The flower industry of Bay sprouted in the 1970’s and blossomed in the succeeding decades to give this town a budding identity as the Flower Garden of Laguna.

Along Bay’s diversion road, which spans several kilometers, an array of commercial gardens more like open plant nurseries on both sides of the road, greet passers-by and travelers. Some would stop by to admire the colorful blooms; some would take extra time for the best buy. Many among these gardens cater to the needs of landscape artists and contractors, gardeners, resort owners and hotels around Laguna and the nearby cities and provinces. In Bay, the supply of ornamental and garden plants seems limitless. Here, there are always foliages to grow, plant life to cultivate, and a collection of floras to sell.

Beyond the assortment of colorful buds draping the town’s hinterland is an old town that has seen centuries of Laguna’s dramatic evolution. Bay was among the first villages in the region. Before the Spanish missionaries set foot on its ground in 1571, this bustling village by the lake, ran by a local chieftain, was already a trading milieu of Chinese merchants from Manila. No sooner did the Spanish missionaries make close associations with the local chieftain, converted him to Christianity and later, in 1581, made Bay the first capital town of Laguna. Today, only a few historical documents would tell of Bay’s brilliant past, aside from the fact that the name of the country’s largest freshwater lake—Laguna de Bay—was named after it.

As in the olden times, trading is still a pulsating scenario in the market area and along the town’s main thoroughfare. It is where you will find the celebrated Monay Bae, a satisfying treat to bread lovers. Outside the poblacion, exotic catches such as live pythons, monitor lizards and escargots are part of commodities for sale. The vast rice fields in the surrounding area, on the other hand, reveal that the people of Bay still enjoy the gifts of the land through farming.

Bay is also a host municipality to the country’s largest geothermal plant, the 370-megawatt Mak-Ban Geothermal Plant being run by the Aboitiz Power Renewable Incorporated and Chevron Geothermal Philippines Holdings. Before it, a sizeable nature park resort bursting with living colors attracts nature lovers and tourists—the Grand Villa Resort and Butterfly Center—a hamlet to a breathtakingly well-kept botanical garden, mini zoo and an amazing butterfly farm. Down south of the town proper, amongst the long line of commercial gardens, a noted Filipino restaurant with a very native and relaxing ambience, serves authentic Southern Tagalog dishes, for a complete Bay experience.

A mural inside the BAY MUNICIPAL HALL tells of a folktale that the town’s name was derived from the first letters

of the names - Basilisa, Angela and Elena—the 3 daughters of the town’s

chieftain, Datu Pangil.

Its original location was in Barangay San Antonio but due to the area’s frequent flooding, the SAINT AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO CHURCH was moved to its present site during the 1800s.

Laguna’s Ecotourism

Capital

mayor Florcelie L. Esguerra

CavintiW hen one hears of Cavinti, a rectangular thin

slice of sweet delicacy neatly wrapped in talulo (dried thallus of betel nut tree) comes

to mind. Kalamay Cavinti is a delightful viscous fare made from ground glutinous rice, cooked in rich coconut milk and sweetened with ample amount of brown sugar. But getting to the town of the celebrated kalamay, one actually discovers that the divine foodstuff is not the only ‘amazing thing’ that the Cavintinians can be proud of, nor is it the only reason why anyone would gladly pay this town another visit.

The famous kalamay of Cavinti simply reveals the prime produce of this agricultural town—coconut and rice. But in many households, particularly outside the built-up district, people are engaged in hat-making. Of dried pandan material intricately woven into simple yet fanciful sambalilo (straw hat), the products are being marketed in the nearby towns and even to Metropolitan Manila. With this savoir faire of the Cavintinians in producing native hats in huge quantities, the town is fast becoming the ‘Sambalilo Capital of Laguna.’

The idyllic town of Cavinti is favorably situated on the foothills of the Sierra Madre that were once inhabited by Aetas. According to historical records, these Aeta tribes used to perform a wedding ritual wherein the bride would have to run through dense forest to be followed by the groom. The groom should catch his bride and grab her leg before the actual ceremony would begin. The crowd would then follow the chasing couple. When the groom finally catches the bride and touches her leg, the crowd would cheer, “Kabit sa binti! Kabit sa binti!” (The leg is touched! The leg is touched!). From the phrase, the village was named Kabinti, and later, with the coming of the Spanish missionaries, it became Cavinti.

Cavinti’s relatively cool atmosphere adds to the pastoral ambiance of the town. Surrounded by luxuriant vegetation of coconuts, fruit trees and hardwoods, and blessed with rich flowing rivers and mountain lakes, Cavinti is an ideal destination for those who want a day of serenity, a weekend of leisure or a very satisfying week-long vacation. Along the southern perimeters of Lakes Lumot and Caliraya, a number of resorts offer lodging and recreational and aqua-sports amenities such as surfing, fishing, boating and water skiing.

On the other forested corner of the town, a taste of wonderment awaits every nature enthusiast at the Pueblo El San Salvador, a newly-developed woodland resort that unfolds Cavinti’s untamed natural wonders. It uncovers a series of waterfalls coming from the untouched gorges of the Sierra Madre giving the more adventurous spirits something to indulge themselves in. And yet, another wonderful piece of Cavinti can be experienced in Cavinti Falls – more famously known as Pagsanjan falls (the falls actually lies within the periphery of barangays Anglas and Tibatib). For upon reaching the hidden cave behind Cavinti Falls’ thundering waters through a bamboo raft, Cavinti welcomes the soul in her wild embrace.

The fine art of weaving pandan leaves into bags, hats and other crafts has been passed-on through generations and the industry continues to thrive under the skilful hands of Cavintinians.

As the original church structure has been repeatedly damaged by calamities, the

townsfolk built the first stone church of the TRANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD in

1621. Albeit undergoing numerous renovations, the church structure still retained much of its

Spanish appeal.

Carving Capital of the

P hilippines

mayor Emmanuel B. Cadayona

PaeteA n enormous chisel, a hundred times larger than

the real thing, comes as a monumental marker that candidly foretells one is entering the town

of Paete—the Carving Capital of the Philippines. And yet, the gigantic carving tool upon entering the poblacion more than just heralds the town’s prime carved creations but also bids all of the other interesting surprises that turn up within its territorial milieu, the lanzones fruit when in season, included.

The town of Paete is a celebration in itself as art and skills fuse to make this semi-rural town so much alive. Flanking the main road and the poblacion area are residential houses-cum-shops-cum-ateliers where sculptured pieces and tours de force are on daily exhibit. One may even wonder how a single shop, just the size of a small living room, could hold aesthetically valuable carvings in such extensive magnitude. And there are around 127 shops in the whole of this chisel town! Each boasts of first rate decorative or practical woodcarvings that only the skillful hands of Paeteños could form.

No one could exactly tell when the art of woodcarving was initiated in Paete, only the fact that the town derived its name from “paet” (chisel) and that the art of woodcarving was already practiced by the locals the time it was founded in 1580. Through generations, this historic town, lodged between the Sierra Madre and the eastern loop of Laguna de Bay, has emerged as home of inborn artists. Paete has also carved a name in papier mache, resin moldings, paintings and ice sculptures and fruit carvings making it a seventh heaven to carving aficionados.

Paete’s carvings are celebrated in many places around the world. Statues of saints, bas reliefs and murals fashioned in this town adorn such famous churches including the St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and other cathedrals in California, New York and Mexico, to name a few. Many skillful hands of Paeteños, on the other hand, found their way to five-star hotels, restaurants and cruise ships the world over for their superb ice sculptures and fruit and vegetable carvings.

But the town’s most prized work of art is the St. James Church. Erected in 1717, the stone edifice of Baroque architecture keeps to this date historic treasures that signify the artistic lineage of Paeteños. The old pieces of retablo, intricately carved by the natives, are considered timeless opuses, as well as the large paintings and murals on the walls. During Holy Week, the splendid church is accentuated by the display of some 53 moving wooden images depicting Christ’s passion and ministry in the Holy Wednesday’s procession.

Whether in Holy Week or the peak season of lanzones, coming to Paete nonetheless is worthwhile as all year round the colonnade of woodcarving art and tradition bids a day of fabulous attraction.

Seen inside the church are the remarkable creations of JOSE LUCIANO DANS, a noted artist and son of Paete. These large paintings are labeled SAINT CHRISTOPHER (done in 1850s); LANGIT, LUPA AT IMPYERNO (Heaven, Earth and Hell also done in 1850).

The JUICIO FINAL (Final Judgment which depicts St Francis and the salvation of the souls) was painted in 1720 three years after the stone church was built.

The 1806 Baroch Romanes style architecture still holds priceless antique religious images that survived the times.

Also known as the Paete Church, the ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE CHURCH was built during the Spanish era and the town’s ancient

woodcarving industry can be seen on the church’s walls and murals.
