San Pablo City in Laguna is known as the City of Seven Lakes, in taking a step forward toward a greener planet with the Sampaloc Lake Floating Garden Filter Project.
Sampaloc Lake is a volcanic crater lake, situated in the heart of the City and the largest of the 7 lakes of San Pablo City.
The FGF is a groundbreaking initiative by the Rotary Club of San Pablo City. It will be launched and turned over this November 15 in a formal ceremony to the club’s beneficiary, the Friends of the Seven Lakes Foundation , a community-based volunteer group dedicated to the conservation, protection, and rehabilitation of our freshwater bodies in Laguna.
The FGF filter is an innovative and eco-friendly system designed to naturally clean the water using indigenous materials and plants to naturally clean the water and enhance the biodiversity in the area. Currently. only one FGF has been placed in Sampaloc Lake as a “proof of concept” project. The FGF filters will function to remove pollutants such as excess nutrients and to promote a healthier and balanced ecosystem.
This project was made possible through the funds of the Rotary of San Pablo City, Rotary Club of Liberty, Missouri, USA, and Rotary International, with the support and cooperation of the Laguna Lake Development Authority, under General Manager Senando A. Santiago and the local government of San Pablo City under the leadership of Mayor Vicente Amante.
