DeutschManito is a remote municipality in the southeast quadrant of Albay with coastline facing Albay Gulf and borders Sorsogon City. It is home to a boiling lake and a geothermal power plant at the foot of Pocdol Mountains.
Understand
[edit | edit source]The town is located on the south-eastern tip of Albay, adjoining the south-eastern limit of Legazpi. The west and northwest coast of Manito lies along Poliqui Bay opposite the city of Legazpi. To the north and north-east coast of the municipality lies Albay Gulf. To the east and south of Manito is the province of Sorsogon separated by the Pocdol Mountains, which is also called as the Bacon-Manito Volcanic Complex. Because of topography, the two provinces are not connected along the coast. A mountain pass from barangay Nagotgot connects Manito to Sorsogon City in Sorsogon province.
