          The Hundred Islands National Park ( Pangasinan : Kapulo-puloan or Taytay-Bakes ) is a national park in the Philippines . The protected area is located in the city of Alaminos , in the province of Pangasinan in northern Philippines . The islands, totaling 124 at low tide and 123 at high tide are scattered in Lingayen Gulf covering an area of 16.76 square kilometers (6.47 sq mi). Only three of them have been developed for tourism: Governor Island, Quezon Island, and Children's Island. The Lucap wharf in Alaminos, the entrance to the National Park, is about 240 kilometers (150 mi) north of Manila , the capital of the Philippines.

           I captured this photo many years ago and still it reminds me the beauty of this lake. According to Wikipedia, Lake Mainit is the fourth largest lake in the Philippines , having a surface area of 173.40 square kilometers (66.95 sq mi). The lake is also the deepest lake in the country with maximum depth reaching 223 meters (732 ft). It is located in the Northeastern section of Mindanao and shared between the provinces of Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Norte .
