Manuepe Lake
Mapanuepe Lake
Mapanuepe Lake in Aglao, San Marcelino may be considered as one of the least recognized spots in Zambales, but it has already been featured on Destination of Truth, an American TV series. This lake was formed during the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. Flash floods submerged two barangays which later on formed into a lake. Now, only the cross of the sunken church is visible—a limpid testament how catastrophic the Mt. Pinatubo eruption was for Zambaleños.
The lake looks calm with scenic mountain framework, but its story remains disturbing and enigmatic. Visit tips and directions here
If you are a fan of old churches, you might be interested to visit these houses of worship in Zambales.
To soothe your tired muscles, try dipping into the pools of Hot and Cold Springs Resort in the secluded Barangay Marguez in Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat. The two adjacent pools have, yes, hot and cold waters which are naturally sourced from the nearby mountain. There, the chorus of the birds and the sound of the flowing water dominate.
Marguez Hot and Cold Spring resorts is managed by the town government of Ezperanza.
ituated in the mountainside of Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat province lies an eco destination which locals in the area patronized.
The Margues Hot and Cold Spring is about 8 kilometers from the poblacion. Corn fields, palm trees and a mini rice terraces are some of the views that can be seen going to the area.

Locals are very helpful to assist if you inquire where the hot spring is. When asked about the location, they usually response with “ sa ta-as pa na” which they mean above the mountain. I noticed that the resort is really in an elevated area as we head back to the highway – a scenic overlooking view of the Municipality of Esperanza. Barangay Margues is endowed with a natural scenic panorama and it is more than a thousand feet above sea level.
