Taal Lake is one of the most tourist spot located in the province of Batangas wherein Taal Volcano, the smallest volcano in the Philippines, can be found. Many of the tourists are visiting this place to witness the beauty behind of this and to feel the fresh air. On your way to Tagaytay, this can be found by just looking at the view. That’s why at first I thought Taal volcano is located in Tagaytay. But despite of many tourists that explore this place, we cannot avoid such things that can make the water of the lake be less contaminated. People nowadays are not truly aware on what they are doing to each place they’re visiting.
That afternoon in De La Salle University Science and Technology Complex, there was a talk that was given by Dr. Eric Punzalan, a researcher and a professor of De La Salle-Manila about his own experience on that place. He mentioned that one time when he went to Taal Lake to roam around by riding on a boat, he felt the itchiness on his skin which pushes himself to observe the water and to make a research of it. To start the observation, they made some water samples and upon doing this laboratory test, he found out that there were a numerous of algae that is lurking around the lake. Another way to determine the number of algae is he captured some pictures of the lake by using of the mini motor powered airplane with the RGB (Red-Green-Blue) values of the pictures. This problem also resulted in having a large number of fish pens that can almost covered up the capacity of the lake. This problem cannot be done if the fish pens will not be banned permanently.
