Description
This photo was captured from Asenso Village in Ciudad de Calamba, Philippines by LLDM.
The place was so beautiful and charming. We considered the place as one of the tourist destinations in the Philippines. Because of its intact beauty and natural resources. One of the most popular places in Calamba Laguna.
Mariang Makiling is the guardian spirit of the mountain, responsible for protecting its bounty and thus, is also a benefactor for the town people who depend on the mountain's resources. In addition to being a guardian of the mountain, some legends also identify Laguna de Bay - and the fish caught from it - as part of her domain.
A dormant volcano, which is 1,109 meters above sea level, is named after the mountain's diwata named Makiling. A diwata is a female divinity that is a guardian of nature. Some call her Maria Makiling, Diwatang Makiling, or simply Makiling. She is both revered and feared. The Mountain itself is said to be in the form of "Diwatang Makiling herself" in a reclining position.
The phenomenon is described as true from several different perspectives, so there is no single location associated with this claim. The mountain's various peaks are said to be Maria's face and two breasts, respectively, and her hair cascades downwards a gentle slope away from her body.
Thank you very much for reading hope you enjoy.
