The
Lakeshore District is an impressive tract
of largely untapped prime real estate along
Laguna Bay. The City of Taguig is the custodian
of this expanse of land; a role taken very
seriously as they map out the development
of the 1,000-hectare area as one of Metro
Manila’s premiere tourist and recreational
destination. In time, the world-class undertaking
in eco-tourism will cease to live in the
blueprints of city officials as golfers
tee-off at the District’s natural
preserve and visitors enjoy the breathtaking
scenery of Laguna Lake while walking the
boardwalk.
Furthermore, the neighborhood’s vibrant
and dynamic design, well-developed utilities
and infrastructure, close proximity to the
city center—located only minutes away
from Fort Bonifacio and NAIA Terminal 3—and
its easy access via C-6 will make it an
ideal spot for urbanites and tourists seeking
respite from the usual city gimmicks.
Lakeside Leisure
The water-themed, pedestrian-friendly shoreline
is designed to optimize the lake area. Commercial,
recreational, and transportation facilities
will line the boardwalk, facing the lake.
Floating restaurants and docks will also
dot the boardwalk, adding to the area’s
cheerful outdoor pier atmosphere.
Various commercial and mixed-use developments
add dimension and diversity to the Lakeshore
district, from the marina, boardwalk, water
sports facilities, ferry terminal and fish
port, multi modal transport terminal, to
the sports complex. Lakeshore is an amusement
park with something to offer everyone.
Tee Time
Doubling as a nature preserve, the golf
course and residential development is going
to be one of the District’s main features.
Residential fairway lots and villas overlooking
the lake and the 36-hole all-weather golf
course will be paradise to golf buffs. The
development will also build a fully equipped
golf and sports club for the entire family.
Lakeshore’s generous open spaces and
responsible development will undoubtedly
attract new investments and commercial projects
in the area.
Lakeshore Saint's Day
While most towns celebrate religious events
on foot, locals at the District take to
the water to honor their patron Saint Anne.
The Santa Anang Banak River Festival is
a centuries-old grand fluvial parade where
spectators along the shoreline toss gifts
of fruit back and forth with boat riders
as a symbol of sharing and thanksgiving
called “pasubo.” The revelers
then sail to the mouth of Laguna de Bay
for a special blessing. The dancing procession,
or “pandangguhan,” starts after
they touch ground.
