We have been in San Pablo a couple of times but we only admired the city when we were toured by its local couple, Mark and Mai. It is a nice experience hearing what San Pablo has to offer through their perspectives. The first three items include some of their personal stories while the rest of the list displays our other interests as strangers of San Pablo. Here are the Top 8 Things To Do in San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines!
1.) Pray at the Cathedral Parish of Saint Paul The First Hermit
We first paid respect to the patron saint of the city by visiting the Cathedral Parish of Saint Paul The First Hermit, a 16th century architecture. We haven’t met Mark and Mai at this time but it is sentimental to find out that this church actually share their love story.
2.) Circumnavigate Sampaloc Lake
We had a 360 view of Sampaloc Lake with the help of Mark and Mai. Most locals, including them, date or exercise around the lake’s vicinity. It is the largest of the Seven Lakes of San Pablo. The other lakes are Lake Bunot, Lake Calibato, Lake Yambo, Lake Pandin, Lake Palakpakin and Lake Muhikap.
