Pagsanjan, Laguna Province, Philippines. 01 May, 2026. Tourists and locals take boat rides on the Bumbungan River in the Pagsanjan Gorge National Park, on the route leading to the famous Pagsanjan Falls, on Labor Day. In recent days, several areas are under "danger" heat index alert and the weather bureau PAGASA warned the public to take measures to reduce risks, prompting people to seek relief in rivers & natural water sources for swimming and water activities on this public holiday. This year's warm and dry season could last through the first half of May. Credit: Kevin Izorce/Alamy Live News
