Development of a Small Lake: Ecotourism Enterprise for Pandin Lake, San Pablo City, Philippines

This study looks into the development of a small lake in the Philippines, particularly the unconventional evolution of the ecotourism enterprise in Pandin Lake and the accompanying issues. The article contends that the ecotourism development in Pandin Lake is mainly as an endogenous initiative, and that the intervention of the administrative agencies is critical in addressing the contemporary issues. It proceeds to discuss the following: firstly, reasons for studying small lakes in the Philippines; secondly, Pandin Lake and its administration; thirdly, the ecotourism enterprise evolution and issues in the small lake; and lastly, the conclusion. Moreover, the study also addresses the extant gap in Philippine lake literature, specifically the scarcity of scholarly works on development-oriented studies (as the field is dominated by limnology and aquaculture studies) and on small lakes (as the field is heavily concentrated on big-lake studies).
