History

The story of lakes Muhikap is akin to the legend of Lake Pandin and Lake Yambo. It tells about the couple who had a very sickly daughter named Munica. The couple were both very religious and they kept praying to God for the good health of their only child. They made a promise to do anything if God would answer their prayer. God granted their prayer on condition that Munica must not set her foot on mother earth.

One day, while Munica was sewing her dress, the ball of thread she was using fell to the ground. Her parents were not around to retrieve the fallen ball of thread, so what Munica did was to personally recover the said ball of thread. While doing so, she fainted and immediately fell into the ground. She suddenly sank with the entire neighborhood, and a lagoon was for me. This body of water was later called Muhikap in honor of the unfortunate but very industrious girl. The name of the lake was taken from Munica, the girl’s name, and Mahikap, meaning industrious.
