Bohol

Bohol Island

Bohol Island is one of the largest islands in the Visayas. 75 small islands surround it. Total area of the province is 4,117 square kilometers. It is located in Central Visayas, East of Cebu.

We visited Bohol last 2011. On our way there, we have taken a ride with a ferry from Cebu City.

When we were getting close to Tubigon, Bohol, we passed some beautiful islands.

It took 1 hour and 45 minutes before we reached Tubigon, Bohol. We rented a vehicle for our trip there. We went to different places in there.

 The place is very peaceful and clean. There are many hills which can be seen along the road.

 

Bohol have many historical churches and monuments. One of these is the Sandugo or Blood Compact Shrine in Bo-ol district of Tagbilaran City. The shrine is the landmark of the first international treaty between the Spaniards and the Filipinos. The blood compact was done by Rajah Sikatuna and Miguel Lopez de Legazpi on March 16, 1565. This is to seal friendship between Spaniard and Filipinos as part of the tribal tradition.

The shrine have bronze statues of Rajah Sikatuna, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, and witnesses was made by a Boholano National Artist for sculpture, Napoleon Abueva.

Behind the shrine, is the Bohol sea.

We went to many places in Bohol. I will post each places we went there.

We stayed in a friend’s house which is along the beach. The place have white sands along the shores and it was great swimming there. During the evening, we had bonfire along the shore and had marshmallows and hotdog heated on the fire and enjoyed the night. We saved a lot on having free accommodation.
