The Congress now includes twenty two (22) sets of campers from the lakeshore cities and municipalities of Rizal and Laguna: Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Tanay, Angono, Binangonan, Los Baños, Pangil, Lumban, San Pablo, Siniloan, San Pedro, Sta. Rosa, Mabitac, Rizal, Pila, Morong, Calauan, Cardona, Victoria, Jala-Jala, and Kalayaan.
