Lake Muhikap

San Buenaventura, has an area of 14.5 hectares (36 acres) and is one of the main suppliers of water in the city.

The waters of San Pablo Lakes provide a generous source of tilapia for Metro Manila and suburbs.

A couple once had a very sickly daughter named Munica, and frequently prayed to God for her health, vowing to do anything in return.

Munica and the neighbourhood suddenly sank into the earth, and a lagoon formed in the area.

The body of water was called “Mohicap”, combining the unfortunate girl’s name and mahikap, meaning “industrious” in the local variant of Tagalog.
