Known as one of the cleanest river in the Philippines, and the cleanest in Luzon. Balingasay River (Brgy. Balingasay) is twice winner of the Gawad Pangulo sa Kapaligiran Award for inland bodies of water and a recipient of the highly prestigious Wetlands Conservation Award in 1994. The river is set aside as a protected seascape, it has century-old and new growth mangroves areas (home to many fish species), stretches of nipa palms and balete trees hanging into the water. You can rent a boat to tour you the entire stretch of the river and be rewarded at the end where you can swim in an oasis-like area of chilly, clean river water.
