As of April 2026, Lake Lanao is facing a critical decline in water levels and quality due to the convergence of severe El Niño drought conditions and intensified human activity following Marawi’s resettlement. This recession is dangerously accelerated by the Agus Hydroelectric Power Complex, which draws heavily from the lake to provide 70% of Mindanao’s electricity; during this dry spell, power demands are outstripping the watershed's natural recharge rate. Consequently, the lake's receding shoreline now threatens both regional energy security and the ecological health of one of the world’s few ancient lakes.

Just the local kids, quietly enjoying the view by the Lake Lanao. Simple moments, simple joys.

Even in drought, Lake Lanao refuses to lose its magic.
As the waters recede, hidden stones rise.. revealing a raw and breathtaking rockscape shaped by time.
A quiet reminder that beauty doesn’t disappear… it simply transforms.

Wearing sunscreen before going to the lake is important because water reflects up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays. That means even if you’re in the water or under the shade, your skin is still exposed. Protect it — always apply sunscreen before you go.

You see it as above water — but the truth runs deeper. Protect what’s clear before it’s gone.
