Talagang Dalaga Resort in Paete, Laguna
the entrance of the resort with a damsel not in distress
Tutubi was surprised at the development of the resort, he visited it many years ago and it was just a simple pool, much like Pakil's Turumba Public Swimming Pool that he used to swim at then hitch a ride in jeepneys, sabit-style, due to his still dripping wet clothes.
1 of the resort's three swimming pools. deepest at 6 feet. No other people there since it rained (yeah, it always rains in Paete, called "pusali ng langit" by locals, due to the tropical rainforest sub-climate, according to PAGASA)
the highest of the 3 waterfalls. from this level you can already get a view of Laguna de Bay
Talagang Dalaga is now a full-blown resort, not just a swimming pool with mountain rocks (quite similar to the now "extinct" Black Hawk of Paete) but without the expensive restaurant due to its small town feel. you can bring in food to eat with your family, no corkage fees.

Nonoy, thanks. note that Talagang as used here is the tagalog word talaga (pronounced slowly) which means pool and not talaga that means true in english :P

I liked how they used "Talaga" in the resort's name. Malakas ang recall. :)
