		LAKE SEBU, South Cotabato -- After more than five years, Lake Lahit is teeming anew with aquatic life after residents took up the cudgels of cleaning it up of water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes).
		Since the late 1990s, Lahit, one of the three major lakes in this hinterland town, was a bed of water hyacinths, or water lilies in layman’s term, displacing the livelihood of residents raising tilapia.
		Village elder Tomas Panerio said the lake was congested by water hyacinths starting in 1999 after a pregnant woman who developed a craving to see the water plant stuck some stems of it into the water.
