History

A quondam rich valley criss-crossed by rocky pathways to enable the hunters to catch up with their wild prey as well as to facilitate their homeward trek, this little lagoon is known as Lake Kalibato.

It appeared that this rich valley used to be the domain of a Diwata who had wanted to keep her realm free from intrusion of humankind. She did not want ger wild game and her fruit trees to be molested by mortal man. Thus she was angered when they built a rocky pathways that criss-crossed her valley, so that she caused a strong earthquake and a severe storm that transformed her valley into a lagoon.

The villagers living on the other side of the surrounding hills, gaping at the sight they beheld the following morn, named it Lake Kalibato, taken from the criss-crossing pathways of the valley. (Kali must have been a corruption of the Spanish Calle or street, while Bato means rock or stone.)
