Lito dela Corta, 54, only wanted to make the murky and polluted Baslayan creek area near his house end as the source of foul odor and breeding ground of big flies and mosquitoes that annoy his family and, yes, threaten the health of their neighborhood.The COVID-19 pandemic has indeed increased the need for clean water to prevent infection. But what about those with limited or no access to clean water and sanitation supplies?

The Baslayan creek section at Purok de Oro, Zone 3 drains to the coast in Tambacan.

It was November 18, 2016 when he started cleaning and clearing the place. It was really a trash creek where garbage piled up, leachate and flotsam mixed with slowly running murky canal water. Now it has become a koi fishpond.

A lot of fishes are found in it. Fishes like Koi and Tilapia. It also has flowing water, some designed pumps that constantly pump water. There are also two fish statues  that flows water to a little well like thing in the creek. The Koi and Tilapias are in different sections in the creek. The people living near the creek cleans the creek often.

People usually take a pit stop at the creek after school, work or while walking to\ from the mall to look at the fishes swim and take a photo or a video. When my family and i go to the mall to eat or buy something, we usually  take a pit stop to look at the fishes swim because it is just so relaxing to look at the fishes.
