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.
