88 Hotspring Resort

88 Hotspring Resort is a natural hot spring facility in Calamba City, Laguna Province, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, where sulfurous volcanic waters from the active Mount Makiling volcano emerge and are channelled into private and public pool facilities in a resort complex catering to Manila residents seeking accessible thermal bathing within two hours of the Philippine capital. Calamba is the birthplace of José Rizal — the Philippine national hero, novelist, and martyr executed by Spanish colonial authorities in 1896 — and the city's combination of Rizal heritage sites with its cluster of volcanic hot spring resorts makes it a destination of both national historical significance and natural thermal appeal. The sulfurous springs of the Calamba area tap the geothermal system of the Mount Makiling active stratovolcano — a thickly forested mountain declared a forest reserve and natural laboratory — providing genuinely volcanic mineral water in a suburban resort setting characteristic of Manila's weekend thermal tourism culture.
