As I looked into how this came about, I was told that as Ricky was traveling from Altoona, Pa., he stopped when he saw the lake. Reportedly he said, this would be a great place to hold a concert as he approached Paul and Kathy Cooper.

Sandra Scott Travels: Prepare A Taste Of The Philippines For Family and Friends
In 2008, John and I were on a tour in the Philippines. One of our stops was on the island of Cebu where we stayed overnight at Plantation Bay Resort & Spa. I was impressed with their pools – eight of them, four of which are saltwater lagoons and four are freshwater pools – covering a total of six acres. I never forgot the pools, so in March 2015 when we returned to the Philippines we booked a stay at Plantation Bay Resort. Riding the vintage horse and carriage around the property I spotted the chef cooking a whole pig near one of the pools.
