On my visit at the house of Rizal’s,
I accidentally landed on Calamba Baywalk. I was looking for a parking area near
the Rizal’s house ng medyo nakaramdam ng tawag ng kalikasan.
I kept on driving in search for a gasoline station. I also saw a sign board
that the same road leads to this place. I got excited and since the Rizal’s
house is still close that time, I decided to take a short look of the Baywalk.
I was excited as I go near the place because of the full view of Mt. Makiling. But when I reached the place, my first reaction is: “Eto na ba yun? Parang
napabayaan na ang lugar.” Most of the lights in the post are already
broken, vandalism is just a common thing on the walls and posts, and the water in
the lake is already black.
Perhaps, this place is called “baywalk”
because you can see a very nice view of sunrise or sunset just like the Manila
Bay which I didn't witnessed that time.
According to one of my
colleagues, it was a port where some of the fishes harvested from the Laguna Lake
were unloaded and sold. There are also boats that will take a ride going to an
island in the said lake.
Here are some photos I framed on the said place.

I hope that this place will
be rehabilitated too.
