Lake Sebu, South Cotabato (Part 1): Dream Trip

Unraveling the rich culture of T’boli and conquering an exhilarating adventure in and around Lake Sebu. (Part 1)

Lake Sebu is not just lake, but the name of the town.  It is one of the municipalities in the province of South Cotabato, and known as the summer capital of the province because of its temperature that is comparable to Tagaytay City in Luzon. The town is surrounded with placid lakes, hills and mountains with thick rain forest, which is known to be home to the indigenous people; T’boli’s, Tirurays, Ubos, and Manobos.  

Tale of three lakes

Lake Sebu is surrounded by three lakes:

1. Lake Lahit - is the smaller of the three lakes with a scope of 24 hectares.

2. Lake Sohoton - is the deepest of the three, which covers 48 hectares.

3. Lake Sebu - perhaps the most popular and largest of the three, measuring 354 hectares.

According to the locals, the deepest part of the lake that was explored by American divers is at maximum of 60 meters.  Much of its part is too dangerous to explore because it is said to be too dark and it characterizes a mountain like terrain with dense trees and logs.
