When the tide sets in, the water penetrates the lakes through small channels and thus ensures an exchange of water in the shallow lagoons . When the water recedes during low tide , most of the water remains in the shallow waters and the channels dry out. This process is called Lilo in Cebuano and can be observed in Silot Bay .
