“I am bringing Burnham Park to Bagac”

BAGAC, Bataan – A beach resort operator on Wednesday announced the opening of a lagoon in this mountain town similar to Burnham Park in Baguio City.

“I am bringing Burnham Park to Bagac,” said Amando Fajardo, owner of Fajardo’s Beach Resort and president of the Bagac Beach Resort Owners Association. He said that bancas will be available where families can enjoy boat-riding along the wide pond. “Pagkatapos mamangka, pwedeng manghuli ng dalag o tilapia na maaaring iprito o ihawin. Masarap ang isda rito dahil may halong tubig alat o brackish water ang lagoon,” he said.

Fajardo said mudfish, tilapia and even crabs and milkfish will be raised right in the pond where a restaurant is undergoing construction. He said that fresh buko will also be available. “Inaanyayahan ko ang mahilig kumain ng sariwa at masarap na dalag at tilapia na bumisita rito,” he said.

The restaurant and lagoon will be operational between January and February next year. It has wide parking spaces separate from nearby Fajardo’s Beach Resort which sits at a sandy beach adjacent to the West Philippines Sea.
