Lake Balanan

   This is one of the best place here in the Philippines. It was located in the beautiful place of Siaton Negros Oriental. I have read about some artifacts about Lake Balanan how this gorgeous place was produce. In the May 5, 1925 a strong earthquake registering 6.8 on the Richter Scale shook the town. It was followed by a frightening, thunderous sound which turned out to be a massive landslide felling centuries-old trees and house-sized boulders on both sides of the Balanan and Nasig-id ridges. That instant, the walls of the Roman Catholic Church of Siaton also collapsed. The landslide created a natural dam, now aptly called Sampong (meaning "to close") across the Balanan River , causing the water to rise and create what is now called the Balanan Lake.  

 

With this event in the past there is now a beautiful place called "Lake Balanan". If you want to relax your self and have a quiet place to stay you should definitely go there. I know Manila was a crowded city and too noisy to have a break. Now that we are given like Lake Balanan we should have a vacation to definitely free our from stress in the City.

   Lake Balanan  a place were you can find a peace.
