Published Apr 4, 2025 09:56 am

With the soon-to-rise Sta. Monica Lake Residences, you can now experience the harmony and bliss of living in a lake community in the culturally rich municipality of Manaoag Pangasinan.

Known as the Pilgrimage Center of the North, Manaoag overflows not just with old-time charm but holds a vibrant heritage and a historical background worth exploring especially when it comes to its religious influences.

An interesting way to appreciate the beauty of Manaog is to look at its origins. As with its background, one would discover that the location was among the places included in the missions of early Augustinian priests in which locals were to be converted to the Christian faith.  Additionally, the name Manaoag came from the local word “Mantawag” which means “to call.”

Sta. Monica Lake Residences will have a charming community clubhouse that will feature various leisure amenities from a swimming pool to a basketball court and function hall. 

To further expand, the name of the municipality can also be traced back to the popular local myth of a farmer who one day saw an apparition of a woman who locals believed and referred to later on as the Virgin Mary who calls.  As a bonus fact, this place was used to be referred to as Sta. Monica which is consequently the inspiration behind the Sta. Monica Lake Residences.

Set to be the first lake community in Manaoag Pangasinan, Sta. Monica Lake Residences is one of the latest flagship projects of Sta. Lucia Land in North Luzon. Embracing the signature design of a lake project in its portfolio, Sta. Lucia Land offers prospect buyers the bliss of living in a lake property that is built in a promising location.

Looking into more specific details, Sta. Monica Lake Residences will have a fine Spanish-Mediterranean aesthetic to reflect the religious heritage of Manaoag and at the same time evoke a sense of warmth and coziness. When it comes to the amenities, Sta. Monica Lake Residences will feature a stunning man made lake with a striking lighthouse.
