Laguna
The province owes its name to this body of water that forms its northern boundary which, in turn, was named after the first provincial capital, the town of Bay.  Laguna de Bay is Southeast Asia’s third largest fresh water lake. It stays pristine throughout the year as the area is blessed with regular rain showers. Its surface area is 949 square kilometers and has an average depth of only about 2 meters. The lake is shaped like a stylised 'W', with two peninsulas jutting out from the northern shore. Between these peninsulas, the middle lobe fills a large volcanic caldera.  Laguna de Bay drains to Manila Bay via the Pasig River. The lake is filled with fish pens installed by fishermen who regularly fish there.  More about Laguna de Bay.   Source:Tourism.gov.ph

Buhi
Lake Buhi is located at Sta. Elena, Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Lake Buhi, an important natural and economic resource in the area, was formed with the eruption of Mt. Asog, a prominent yet now dormant volcano. The major economic activities in Buhi are agriculture and fishing, both of which depend greatly on the lake's resources. It provides almost 4-5 metric tons of fish a day. One important fish in the lake is Sinarapan (Mistichthys luzonensis). This tasty local delicacy is a source of pride for Buhi and the whole country as well. Sinarapan has been recorded in the Guiness World Record as the world's smallest commercial fish. It measures only around 2.1-2.4mm long or smaller than a ten centavo coin. The name Sinarapan came from the word "sarap" which refers to the fine net used for catching this fish.  Source:Haribon Foundation
