Swamp

• The Candaba Swamp in Central Luzon is a vast complex of freshwater ponds, swamps and marshes with surrounding areas of seasonally flooded grassland, arable land and palm savanna on a vast alluvial flood plain. The entire area is usually flooded in the wet season, but most of it dries out during the dry season (late November to April) and is converted into rice fields and plantations of water melons. It is an important area for agricultural and fisheries production, water for irrigation, and natural flood retention.

• Ligawasan is the largest marsh with a total area of 220,000 hectares. It is a conglomeration of three marshes: Ligawasan, Libungan and Ebpanan. It spans the provinces of Sultan Kudarat and North Cotabato in Central Mindanao and Maguindanao in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). It is home to Maguindanaon families whose primary means of livelihood are fishing when water levels are high and agriculture when water levels are low.
