The rural town of Manito is opening up to the influx of tourists brought about by the eco-tourism drive of the government. While it is home to the 160-megawatt Manito-Bacon geothermal plant, the site is being developed to cater to tourists for its myriad of natural attractions.

One among the many gems of the town is the three-hectare (7.41 acre) Nag-aso Lake, also known as Lake Mainit (meaning, hot) within the villages of Balabagon and Hulugan. In Bicol language, nag-aso means steaming or boiling. Local residents about the area and visitors alike boil (chicken) eggs on the lake and it’s already hard boiled in less than ten minutes!

With a temperature of one hundred degrees Celsius (or 212 degrees Fahrenheit) no living creature, like fish, inhabit the lake. Some areas have pools one can observe the steams and bubble bursts. Come high tide, the basin is enundated with sea water from Albay gulf, yet, the lake maintains its show of steam and bubbles.

It is amazing that surrounding trees and greens survive the temperature, hence the lush vegetation.

Manito is the southernmost town of Albay that borders Sorsogon. Together with Sorsogon province’s town of Bacon, the government have set up the Bacon-Manito geothermal plant to harness the natural energy from underground.

Manito, which has a population of 21,652, is about forty kilometers from Legazpi city, the capital of Albay. The town of Bacon was merged with the capital town of Sorsogon to become the new local government unit named city of Sorsogon with combined population count of 151,454 as of the official 2007 census.
