Sunrise in Laswitan Lagoon, Cortes, Surigao del Sur. Laswit in local dialect means waves, and Laswitan mean a place of waves. This lagoon is a very nice place for a weekend get-away. It is located N-NE of Mindanao, Philippines where people called Surigaonons are very friendly and local government officials are very accommodating. One of the places that I am very much thankful of to have as our playground.
