Pakil, Laguna. You may never heard of this little town before but this city is full of interesting sights to see.
One of those is the Turumba Swimming Pool Also known as the miracle pool. It is known for the cold water running directly from the Ping-as Mountain straight to the pool. And like its name it is known to heal people and make miracle. So don't be mad if people will throw a bucket of water to you 'cause you have been healed man. There's even a festival here where they go around and splash everyone with water called the "Salibanda Festival" that they celebrate every January.
They are drinking directly from the spring.The people of Pakil believe that the water coming from the spring can heal people . Even small rushes or bruises can be healed as they say. You just have to trust and have faith. There are a lot of miracle cases here in Pakil, just ask around.
This is a budget friendly adventure because the entrance fee is just 40 pesos. And if you're a resident of Pakil, you are free of charge. And I believe that is the reason why people here are such good swimmers. Kids ranging from 2-5 can even beat you in a swimming contests.
Whenever I visit Pakil, first thing that I do is to dive right in here. This is a must see if you're looking for something new or tired of the beaches and chlorined pools.
How to get here?
So if you'll be coming from Manila, ride a bus going to Siniloan. Then ride a jeepney going to Sta. Cruz and tell the driver to drop you off in Pakil, Turumba swimming pool. But becareful, there is a next town named Pangil. They might hear you wrong and drop you off there. And also prepare your camera at all times 'cause you'll see a lot of amazing views along the ways because the road is just hanging on the cliff, it's fun though. Just prepare yourself a plastic bag, just in case you'll be needing it.
P.S
You might see people washing themselves with soaps. It's cool man. It's running water.
There's some videos of it in youtube so just I'm gonna put the link below
