“What is special about this spring is that the source of its water is actually from the pool’s bed flowing upward from the bottom, and there’s no flowing water from the side. It looks like stagnant from the bird’s eye view but there’s actually a current underneath that provides cold water to the pool,” Uyguangco said.

Giant trees surround the pool providing natural shadows to the swimmers protecting them from the heat of the morning and afternoon sun. So, people can bring foods and dine with their families at the cottages well maintained by the local government, here. (LOR VILLA ENCENZO)
