Hondagua: Everyday Life by the Deep Waters of Lopez
Hondagua is a barangay in the Municipality of Lopez, within Quezon Province, part of Region IV-A (CALABARZON) on Luzon island, Philippines. It lies directly along the shores of Lamon Bay and sits only about 12 meters above sea level. Being here, the relationship between land and sea is immediate. Coconut trees stretch toward the coast, roads subtly slope toward the water, and the horizon always seems present, even from inland paths.
