Canal (ala Suez) from Manila Bay to Pacific Ocean via Laguna Lake

**skyglider** · October 12th, 2018 11:59 AM

Naisip ko lang since nahihirapan ngayon ang ating fishing industry why not the government construct a canal from Manila Bay to Pacific Ocean via Laguna Lake.

I think may proposal si Palafox to construct a spillway via Paranaque to Manila Bay. Bakit kaya hindi i-deretso from Laguna Lake to Pacific Ocean para dun mangisda mga kababayan natin?

Mahal kasi nang isda ngayon, baka sakaling magkaroon pa nang additional pagkakitaan mga kababayan natin.

What do you think?

At the closest, Laguna De Bay is 20+ km away from the Pacific and while the elevation between the 2 bodies of water is practically the same, you still need to cut through an average of 400m thick rock. Unless you want to build a complex system of locks. And to be economically viable the locks have to be large enough to handle big cargo ships and tankers, small fishing boats won't be economical enough to justify the cost. And what about the depth of Laguna De Bay and Pasig River. Can they accommodate big ships?

Baka may ma develop na ibang species nang isda naman siguro?

Pass through lang naman sya. Fishing will be done in Pacific Ocean and to be transported sa Fish Port.

I like how you think TS. Out of the box.

Halong tubig dagat na ang Laguna De Bay dahil sa Pasig.

Yep. Two ways ang direction ng laguna de bay. Usually palabas from lake to Manila Bay. Pero minsan high tide, pumapasok ang tubig alat via Ilog Pasig. Just not sure by how much or if significant enough. Baka mas significant yung basura at plastik kesa sa tubig alat

i remember of the plan, some years ago.
but for some, perhaps political, reason, the plan was conveniently forgotten ("shelved", is probably the politically correct word.)

if you're gonna dig a canal from laguna lake to manila bay...

you gotta build several bridges to make up for the roads na nawala

not to mention the right of way problems

ung skyway 3 construction mabagal ang progress dahil sa right of way problems

poste poste lang yan

imagine the right of way problems with this idea
