    About BOHOL

    Its called Gods Little Paradise Bohol is the tenth (10) largest island of the country. It was created as a province on March 10, 1917. It produced Francisco Dagohoy, who led the longest

    revolt againts the Spaniards in the Philippine history.

    The revolt took the Spaniards 85 years ( 1744-1829 ) to quell. It also gave the Philippines its fourth (4) president in the person of Carlos P. Garcia. Garcia was president of the 1971 Constitutional Convention when he died. The island-province is well known for its top quality handicrafts made of bamboo, saguran and abaca

    fibers, romblon, buntal and shell craft.

    It is also famous for its delicacies like Calamay ( made from rice, coconut milk and brown sugar packed in acoconut shell ).

    It is the main island of Bohol Province which has 75 minor surrounding islands. Another gem of theVisayas,Bohol is a tropical haven of natural beauty. The coastline of the island is skimmed by gentle coves and white sand beaches. Bohol is not as

    internationally famous as nearbyBoracay,but is well-known locally as a paradise for divers and

    snorkelers.

    Dolphin watching and whale watching tours are popular with both residents and visiting tourists. The bestseason is from March to June, but dolphins can be seen year-round.

    In addition to white sand beaches and dive spots, Bohol is famous among others, for its Chocolate Hills,the Tarsierarguably the worlds smallest primate, heritage sites and old stone churches.

    The Department of Tourism and the government of Bohol are promoting the province as "a land ofhistory and natural beauty."

    Even Tagbilaran, the capital of Bohol Province, is being advertised as "The City of Friendship." Bohol is about 700 kilometers directly south of Manila and about an hour and fifty minutesby

    commercial jet.

    History: Bohol was first settled by Australoid people, like the rest of the Philippines. They still inhabit the island

    today and are known as the Eskaya tribe, their population also was absorbed into the Austronesian or

    Malayo-Polynesian peoples who later settled the islands and form the majority of the population. The

    Austronesian people living on Bohol traded with other islands in the Philippines and as far as China and

    Borneo.

    The people of Bohol are said to be the descendants of a group of inhabitants who settled in thePhilippines calledpintadosor tattooed ones.

    Boholanos already had a culture of their own as evidenced by the artifacts dug at Mansasa, Tagbilaran,and in Dauis and Panglao.

    Etymology:

    Bohol is derived from the word Bo-ho or Bo-ol.

    The island was the seat of the first international treaty of peace and unity between the native kingDatuSikatuna,and Spanish conquistador,Miguel Lpez de Legazpi,on March 16, 1565 through a blood

    compact alliance known today by many Filipinos as theSandugo.

    Demographics

    Bohol has a population of about 1.3 million. The annual population growth rate is 2.9 percent. The Boholanos today live in the habitable areas of Bohols 3,862 sq kms land area.

    Economy

    Tourism plays an increasing role in the island's economy. Aninternational airport is currently planned for Panglao which houses the most-visited and accessible

    beaches in the province.

    Proponents of the scheme hope that the new airport will increase Bohol's reputation as an internationaltourist destination although the plan has been dogged by ongoing criticism.

    Subdivisions

    The province of Bohol is a first-class A province subdivided into 3congressional districts,47municipalities and 1city.It has 1,109 barangays

    (1,114 barangays per NEDA) with a total population of

    1,255,128 (2010) and an average household size of 5.41.

    Dialect/Language

    The Boholanos or bol-anon forms part of the mainstream peoples of the Philippines. The people speak avariation of the cebuano language with very minor changes in pronounciation. It belongs to the larger

    Austronesian language family, with the sugbuhanon, sebuano, cebuano langauge varation and the

    majority or large ethnic group of the people belongs to the Austronesian Speakers or the South Mongols

    race settlers from South China. First settled in the islands of Cebu, Negros Oriental and later in the island

    of Bohol during the Iron Age period.

    Geography

    At present the general culture of the bol-anon is lowland and coastal Visayan intensive wet riceagriculture is common with the production of other crops such as sweet potato, cassava, banana, mango

    and yam (ubi) which is considered an imported crop among the bol-anon. The coastal communities

    associated with maritime life.

    TheChocolate Hills of Bohol

    Mainland Bohol is oval-shaped, having a gentle, rolling terrain. Bohol's mountainous interior is home to rare and

    endangered flora and fauna. At certain points, hills drop steeply to the coast from a maximum elevation of 870

    metres (2,850 ft) above sea level. The interior uplands are fit for agro-forestry and high value agricultural

    production. The central and northern lowlands have also fertile grounds and abundant water supply. Over ahundred caves have been identified, the biggest of which is found in the eastern part which makes Bohol ideal for

    spelunking adventures.[23]

    Hills dominate the island of Bohol. Two ranges run roughly parallel on the northwest and the southeast. An interior

    plateau is dominated by limestone hills. In Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan, these hills form near perfect cones in

    great numbers and are collectively referred to as theChocolate Hills.TheChocolate Hills inCarmen, Bohol are

    considered one of Philippine's natural wonders and Bohol is often referred to as theJewel of the Philippines. They

    are hills made of limestone left over from coral reefs during the ice age when the island was submerged. They turn

    brown during the summer, hence their name.

    White sandy beaches dot the coast of the island. The sand is often of such high quality that it is exported to other

    beaches in the world. The most well known of these beaches are inPanglao Island,and there, numerous islets

    have similar, yet untouched and pristine beaches.

    There are four main rivers that run through Bohol withLoboc River being the most famous for its river cruises,

    running from the center of the island to the southeastern coast. The largest, Inabanga River, runs in the

    northwestern part of the province. TheAbatan River in the southwest, and Ipil river in the north.

    Numerous waterfalls and caves are scattered across the island, including the beautiful Mag-Aso falls inAntequera.

    Mag-Aso means smokein the native tongue. The water is cool and often creates a mist in humid mornings which

    can hide the falls.

    Tarsier

    For the past 45 million years,tarsiers have inhabited rainforests around the world, but now

    they only exist on a few islands in the Philippines, Borneo and Indonesia. In Bohol, the

    Philippine Tarsier was a common sight in the southern part of the island until the 1960's. Onceprotected by the humid rainforests and mist-shrouded hills, these mysterious primates struggle

    to survive as their home is cleared for crop growing and poaching.

    To date, the Philippine Tarsier Foundation has acquired 7.4 hectares of land in Corella, Bohol

    for a Tarsier sanctuary. With the Department of Environment and Natural Resources playing an

    oversight role, the foundation has asked other Bohol towns with Philippines Tarsier populations

    to donate 20 hectares (49.4 acres) of forestland for conservation.

    It also runs a Tarsier Research and Development Center, which serves as a visitor center and

    venue for research, as well as a habitat preserve. At the sanctuary, a spacious net enclosure

    keeps a number of Philippine Tarsiers for feeding, captive breeding and display. Here, visitors

    can observe the Philippine Tarsier in their natural habitat. Within the sanctuary, the PhilippineTarsiers roam freely and all of them have got used to a seven-foot high fence that circumscribes

    the territory and which serves mainly to protect them from predators like feral cats while

    maintaining a theoretical chance for tarsiers to leave the enclosure and return as their wish.

    Do not visit the caged Tarsiers which are elsewhere on the island (especially in Loboc). These

    are kept in insufficient conditions and often die of stress from the visitors and poor care. Dead

    animals are frequently replaced by new one illegally captured from the while creating a high

    stress on the yet surviving population.

    The Tarsier was used by Stephen Spielberg as the inspiration for E.T.

    The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol's most famous tourist attraction. The hills, which look

    like giant mole hill, are considered unusual geological formation that consists of at least 1,268individual mounds that are scattered throughout the municipalities of Carmen, Batuan, and

    Sagbayan. The hills range from 30 to 50 meters high and are covered in green grass, which turns

    to brown during the dry season, making them look like chocolate mounds. ( Quoted from "Your

    Guide to Bohol" by Sanchez-Bronce, Loop and Carpentier)

    Legend has it that the hills came into existence when two giants threw stones and sand at each

    other in a fight that lasted for days. When they were finally exhausted, they made friends and

    left the island, but left behind the mess they made. For the more romantically inclined is the

    tale of Arogo, a young and very strong giant who fell in love with an ordinary mortal girl called

    Aloya. After she died, the giant Arogo cried bitterly. His tears then turned into hills, as a lasting

    proof of his grief.[1].

    However, up to this day, even geologists have not reached consensus on how they where

    formed. The most commonly accept theory is that they are the weathered formations of a kind

    of marine limestone on top of a impermeable layer of clay.THE CHOCOLATE HILLS

    The Chocolate Hills are an unusual geological formation in the province of Bohol and is its

    signature attraction. It was formed centuries ago. It started with the piling up of layers of

    marine organisms which included corals and shells. After thousands of years the rising up of the

    land exposed the coral reefs above the sea which turned it into rock called limestone. The

    continuous action of the waves formed depressions on the risen land which were then carved

    by rainwater and streams which eventually formed the hills.

    According to the latest accurate survey done, there are 1,776 hills spread over an area of more

    than 50 square kilometres (20 sq mi). The hills are of limestone covered in green grass and

    during the dry season, the grass-covered hills dry up and turn chocolate brown, hence the

    name.

    The Chocolate Hills are featured in the provincial flag and seal to symbolize the abundance of

    natural attractions in the province. They are in the Philippine Tourism Authority's list of tourist

    destinations in the Philippines and have been declared the country's third National Geological

    Monument and proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

    This scenic natural attraction is a rolling terrain of haycock hills with mounds that are conical

    and almost symmetrical in shape. The hills vary in sizes from 30 to 50 metres (98 to 160 ft) high

    with the largest being 120 metres (390 ft) in height. These unique mound-shaped hills are

    scattered throughout the towns of Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan in Bohol.

    The original resort is located in the town of Carmen and is called the Chocolate Hills Complex. Itconsists of two hills that have been developed into a resort for tourism. The more recent one in

    Sagbayan is called Sagbayan Peak. The Chocolate Hills Complex is about 55 kilometres (34 mi)

    from Tagbilaran City. It has a restaurant, hostel with swimming pool and one could view and

    even count the hills at the view deck 210 feet (64 m) above the ground. There are a total of 214

    steps leading to the observation deck which offers a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding

    area. Here one can view the landscape that is covered with more than a thousand Chocolate

    Hills.

    BLOOD COMPACT SITE

    The Bohol Blood Compact Site is located in Barangay Bool, Tagbilaran City. This particular sitewas made in honor of a very important event in Philippine history, the blood compact between

    Rajah Sikatuna, a native chieftain and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, the Spanish explorer and

    colonizer which took place on March 16, 1565. It was on this date that this Spanish explorer

    arrived in Bohol to look for spices and gold. The Bo-ol natives were first observed to be hostile

    to Legaspi and his men. It was so because of the sad experience of the natives with the

    Portuguese who had earlier visited Bohol from Moluccas on large praus and committed

    outrageous acts against them posing as Castilians.

    After convincing the native chieftains that they were not Portuguese, Legaspi made a peace

    pact with Datu Sikatuna. As is the native custom of that time, the two sealed their friendship

    through a blood compact wherein both draw two or three drops of blood from their arms,

    mixed the blood with the wine and equally drank from the cup. Other historians say that the

    blood-wine mixture was divided equally between the two and then drank up to the last drop.

    This event, called the Sandugo ("one blood"), is celebrated in Bohol every year during theSandugo Festival. The Sandugo or blood compact is also depicted on Bohol's provincial flag and

    the Bohol provincial seal.

    This Sikatuna-Legaspi blood compact is considered as the First Treaty of Friendship between

    two different races, religions, cultures and civilizations. It was a treaty of friendship based on

    respect and equality. To commemorate this historical event, a sculpture was made by the

    National Artist, Napoleon Abueva, a Boholano himself. It is placed on an open and raised

    platform portraying five life-sized images of men gathered around a table with Legazpi and

    Sikatuna supposedly making a toast. Standing on the platform, visitors are treated to a good

    view of the Bohol Sea and the contour of that particular side of the island of Bohol.

    The Blood Compact Site is just a short tricycle or cab ride from the city of Tagbilaran since

    Barangay Bool is still a part of the city. Buses or vans are available from the Dao Terminal. Rides

    to and from the place does not pose a problem since the site is located along the Carlos P.

    Garcia circumferential road where many transportations are available. Hotel guests and those

    on tour can request to drop by the Blood Compact site. Some hotels though have included it in

    their itineraries.

    BACLAYON CHURCH

    Baclayon Church today is officially known as the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate

    Conception and is considered to be one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. Presently, the

    original stone structure of the parish can still be seen in Baclayon, six kilometers from

    Tagbilaran City. The massive edifice still retains its century-old architectural design. It was built

    in 1595 by the Jesuits and the first Spanish missionaries, and is one of the best preservedchurches in the region. In the 19th century Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and

    a number of stone buildings that now surround the church. It was constructed in honor of

    Mother Mary, under the appellation Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. The Church was

    declared as a National Historical Landmark in 1994.

    In 1717, Baclayon became a parish and the architecture of the new structure had begun. The

    Jesuits were coerced to vacate the vicinity and transfer to the town of Loboc due to their great

    apprehension to be attacked by Moro bandits. The construction of the Baclayon Basilica

    employed some 200 native laborers to build the church using coral stones, which they hauled

    from the sea and then carefully cut into square blocks. They also used bamboo to lift and to

    move the stones into place. They then mounded them like bricks and cemented the stonestogether using egg whites. The historical church was completed in the year 1727 and had

    acquired a huge bell in 1835. In the church is a dungeon, which was used to punish natives who

    violated the rules of the Roman Catholic Church.

    The church's facade is a merging of two different styles: the classic San Ignacio elements that

    the Jesuits followed and the arcade of Roman arches and a plain upper storey and pediment. Its

    coral stone layout is cruciform, in the manner of many Christian churches. The green and gilded

    altars are the focal point of the interior. They are exuberant versions of Baroque popular during

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    9/20

    the 18th century. The church had a pipe organ installed in the 1800s but is now in disrepair. The

    choir and organ loft are decorated with cut out designs. The painting on the stucco finish of the

    church is of recent vintage and does not conform to the style and period of the interior.

    The external and internal portions of the church used to have various interesting relics and

    artifacts, but most of which have now been placed at the Baclayon Museum. The museum is

    located inside the convent on the right side of the church. Baclayon started the trend in Boholof establishing parish museums. The amount of liturgical material preserved in Baclayon is

    impressive. It contains a rich collection of religious art, old gold embroidered ecclesiastical

    vestments, librettos of Church music printed in Latin on animal skins, an ivory statue of the

    crucified Christ, a statue of the Blessed Virgin, and other priceless relics and artifacts dating

    back to the early 16th Century.

    THE LOBOC RIVER CRUISE

    When visiting the province of Bohol in the Philippines one should not miss the Loboc River.

    Most one-day tours include a cruise along this river, but you can also go there on your own.

    Cruises along the Loboc river are done on a motorized banca (outrigger canoes). Most of these

    cruise includes a buffet lunch.

    The Loboc River is now one of the major destinations of tourists, local and foreigners alike.

    Located in the Municipality of Loboc, a mere 24 kilometers away from Tagbilaran City, the

    winding river plays host to cruisers on board small bancas or floating restaurants. Visitors are

    treated to a vista of lush tropical vegetation such as nipa palms, coconut trees, banana groves,

    and bushes.

    A cruise along the river starts either from the Loay Bridge in the town of Loay or at the

    Poblacion of Loboc. Small motorized bancas can be chartered for a minimal fee. For those who

    want to eat while cruising, floating restaurants are available offering Filipino cuisine buffet and

    local delicacies.

    With the tourism fever, the floating restaurants were envisioned to provide tourists with a first

    class dining experience on board floating restaurants. The floating vessels are made up of acovered platform on top of two large outrigger boats which are joined together. The boats can

    accommodate usually up to 50 people. Most of the floating restaurants treat their guests with

    songs played by in-boat singers during the cruise.

    Life along the river side goes on as it must have done for centuries, with children swimming,

    people passing by in small bancas or canoes. On certain points along the trip, daring kids climb

    in a large coconut tree overhanging the river, and jump in the water very close to the floating

    restaurant.

    The trip winds up the river and ends at the Busay Falls in about an hour. The falls are not high,

    about one and a half meter at most, and mark the point where the floating restaurant cannot

    go any further. It is here that they stay for a while to allow the guest to look at the landscape.Local folks usually take a dip in the waters and enjoy bathing under the falls. Guests who have

    brought with them extra clothes are welcome to swim and bathe and experience the heady

    feeling of a refreshing swim in the rivers unpolluted waters. After some time, the return trip

    starts going downstream and back to Loboc or Loay.

    CLARIN ANCESTRAL HOUSE

    The Clarin Ancestral House is a typical rich Boholano home which was built in the 1840s. It is

    situated in Laoay, a municipality that is 18 kilometers away from the provincial capital,

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    10/20

    Tagbilaran City. The house was the residence of former Bohol governor Don Aniceto Velez

    Clarin and his son Jose Butalid Clarin who was a former Philippine Senate president. Don

    Anicetos family has a very rich background in politics. His son won the seat on the 11th

    Senatorial district and their descendants followed through, holding different political positions

    such as mayors and governors.

    The descendants of the Clarin family are the ones who now own and maintain the ancestralhouse. It was recognized by the National Historical Institute as a heritage site and was

    converted into a museum filled with the familys collections of age-old possessions. It is the

    most visited of all ancestral houses in the province of Bohol.

    This Ancestral House is one of the many Spanish period houses that still stands today. It shows

    off the greatness of Filipino and Spanish fusion in terms of design and home style. Each and

    every item found inside the house imbibes the culture that raised the very owners of the house.

    It was designed with long slanting roofs covered with nipa leaves. This large square house has a

    coral stone foundation with rough-hewn wooden posts, wooden walls and floors of wide

    hardwood planks and a receiving hall with a high vaulted ceiling.

    The house has a ground floor and an upper floor. The living quarters are located on an elevated

    floor made of huge wooden planks. It has large and wide windows with shutters decorated with

    capiz shells that let the sunshine in if closed. The shutters are slid to slots at the side of the

    windows leaving the wide window openings devoid of any obstruction. Fresh air freely

    circulates inside the house keeping it cool even during hot days.

    The furniture and other contents of this old house are artifacts dating back to the American era.

    The bedrooms have old and intricately carved wooden beds with posts for the mosquito nets.

    There are also dressers, antique rocking chairs, family pictures, and a kneeler with

    corresponding chair complete with an old bible and draped with a large veil. Also on display is

    an elegant collection of Filipina gowns and barongs, and a huge earthen pot filled with

    American era centavo coins, antique jars and lamps, and some kitchen wares. Gracing a wall is a

    long sword taken from a sword fish. The house also has a small library where one can findbooks containing histories of the Philippines, legal works, a very large dictionary of the English

    language, and a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf.

    THE HANGING BAMBOO BRIDGE

    The Sipatan Bamboo Hanging Bridge is located in Sipatan, Sevilla, Bohol which is about 36

    kilometers from the City of Tagbilaran. The bridge is about 4o meters long which crosses the

    Sipatan River. It was originally constructed using bamboo and rope. There are quite a few like it

    around Bohol. It's main purpose is really for the local residents and livestock in crossing the

    river but it has also become a fun attraction for tourists.

    Today the rope has made way to steel cables, giving added safety and stability. The deck of the

    bridge is still formed out of woven bamboo slats that creek and sinks depending on which partyou step on and, of course, your body weight. In places some of these appear broken but its still

    sturdy enough to take the weight of crossing pedestrians. This type of bridge is considered the

    most efficient and sustainable design in developing countries, especially for river crossings that

    lie in non-flood plain topography like gorges.

    Walking onto the bridge is a little daunting at first as the bamboo deck flexes under your feet.

    Although the support cables are made of steel, you still experience some side to side sway and

    up and down bounce. For safety purposes, theres a limit to the number of people allowed on

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    11/20

    the hanging bridge. But locals and tour guides say that the bridge can hold up to 100 people at

    a time. At the other end of the bridge is a small store where you can buy fresh young coconuts

    and some souvenir items. This one of a kind footbridge has attracted several foreign tourists

    who savor the thrill and experience in crossing the footbridge.

    This attraction is often overlooked by visitors and tourists since it falls a little way off the

    normal day tour route. If youre taking a package tour, ask the driver if its possible to visit ishanging bridge. You can also book a tour that includes this already. A small toll is charged to

    cross the bridge, the funds raised are put back in to the maintenance of the bridge. There are in

    fact two Bridges now and you cross on one and back on the other.

    THE BOHOL MUSEUM

    The Bohol Museum is former president Carlos Polestico Garcia's home. Garcia (November 4,

    1896June 14, 1971) was a Filipino teacher, poet, orator, lawyer, public official, and guerrilla

    leader. He became the 8th President of the Philippines and was known for his "Filipino First"

    policy, which put the interests of the Filipino people above those of foreigners and of the ruling

    party. Garcia served as president of the Philippines from 1957 to 1960.

    Garca was born in Talibon, Bohol to Policronio Garca and Ambrosia Polestico (who were both

    natives of Bangued, Abra). Garca grew up with politics, with his father serving as a municipal

    mayor for four terms. He acquired his primary education in his native Talibon, then took his

    secondary education in Cebu Provincial High School. Initially, he pursued his college education

    at Silliman University in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, and later studied at the Philippine

    Law School (now Philippine College of Criminology) where he earned his law degree in 1923. He

    was among the top ten in the bar examination.

    Rather than practice law right away, he worked as a teacher for two years at Bohol Provincial

    High School. He became famous for his poetry in Bohol, where he earned the nickname "Prince

    of Visayan Poets" and the "Bard from Bohol". Garcia started his political career in 1925, scoring

    an impressive victory running for congressman representing the third district of Bohol. He was

    elected for another term, but served only until 1931 when he successfully ran for governor ofBohol. He served as provincial governor for two terms. He became a member of the congress in

    1946, and was elected three times to the senate for three consecutive terms from 1941 to

    1953.

    After his failed reelection bid for the presidency, Garca retired to Tagbilaran to live as a

    private citizen. On June 1, 1971, Garca was elected delegate of the 1971 Constitutional

    Convention. The convention delegates elected him as the President of the Convention.

    However, just days after his election, on June 14, 1971, Garca suffered a fatal heart attack. He

    was succeeded as president of the Convention by his former Vice-President, Diosdado

    Macapagal. Garca is the first president to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

    The Bohol Museum gives the visitor a feel of what Bohol was, is and will be. It houses thepersonal memorabilia of the late president. Also found here are art objects, botanical,

    zoological and archeological materials from Bohol. One can find some distinctive art objects,

    zoological, archeological and botanical materials from Bohol. The museum also displays

    artifacts and relics of mollusks, skulls with deformations, the provinces pottery tradition,

    earths treasures in Bohol, its agriculture and fishing, and also of fossil plants and anima ls which

    are evidences of a past life.

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    12/20

    The other displays at the museum explains the evolution of the Bohol Island, its rock

    foundation, animals and their ways, plant Life, potency, people, arts & crafts, food, and its

    culture. The museum is located at the corner of F. Rocha and Hontanosas streets in the city of

    Tagbilaran.

    THE TARSIER

    The Tarsier is a tiny animal which makes it difficult to spot. It measures 4 to 5 inches in heightand is considered as the worlds smallest primate. They weigh only about 113 to 142 grams or

    four to five ounces. The primate belongs to the more primitive sub-order Prosimii or prosimian

    that dates back 45 million years.

    The tarsier known locally as the "Maumag" in Cebuano, is an endangered species. It is found in

    the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly in the Philippine islands of Bohol, Samar,

    Leyte and Mindanao. It was only introduced to western biologists in the 18th century

    The average adult is about the size of a human fist. Tarsiers have large mesmerizing eyes whose

    bony eye sockets are larger than that of its brain case as well as of its stomach. The eyes of a

    Tarsier are fixed in its skull and cannot turn in their sockets. Instead, a special adaptation in the

    neck allows its round head to be rotated 180 degrees. The eyes are disproportionately large,

    having the largest eye-to-body size ratio of all mammals. These huge eyes provide this

    nocturnal animal with excellent night vision. The large membranous ears are mobile, appearing

    to be almost constantly moving, allowing the tarsier to hear any movement.

    The Philippine Tarsier has thin rough fur which is colored gray to dark brown. The narrow tail,

    usually used for balance, is naked or bald except for a tuft of hair at the end, and is about twice

    the body length. Its elongated "tarsus," or ankle bone, which gives the tarsier its name, allows it

    to jump at least three meters from tree to tree without having to touch the ground. It is

    arboreal and is a vertical clinger and leaper, habitually clinging vertically to trees and are

    capable of leaping from branch to branch. This ability may be due to the fact that they have

    extra-long tarsal bones which form their ankles and enable them to leap so high. Its long digits

    are tipped with rounded pads that allow it to cling easily to trees and to grip almost anysurface.

    The Tarsier is a shy nocturnal animal that leads a mostly hidden life, asleep during the day and

    only active to look for food during the night. During the day, it sleeps in dark hollows close to

    the ground, near the trunks of trees and shrubs deep in the impenetrable bushes and forests.

    They only become active at night, and even then, with their much better sight and amazing

    ability to maneuver around trees, are very well able to avoid humans. It hunts and feeds mainly

    on fruits and insects such as cockroaches, crickets, and sometimes small lizards. Local folks

    believe they eat charcoal but in fact they only get the maggots or insects inside burnt wood or

    to get some salt. Its cry is a loud piercing single note and when they gather, they have a

    chirping, locust-like sound. When contented they emits a soft sweet birdlike twill. They usuallylive in groups.

    PANGLAO ISLAND AND THE PANGLAO ISLAND NATURE RESORT

    Panglao is an island in the Philippines located in the Central Visayas with an area of 80.5 sq.

    kilometers. Politically, it is divided into two municipalities: Dauis and Panglao, and part of Bohol

    Province. Panglao is located southwest of the island of Bohol and east of Cebu. Currently

    Panglao is one of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines. It is famous for its beautiful

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    13/20

    dive spots and its coral reef, as well as many several islet ideal for beach bathing like the islets

    of Gak-ang and Pontod.

    Panglao is the southernmost town of Bohol. It is 18 kilometers from Tagbilaran City. The island

    has a terrain that range from plain, hilly to mountainous and is made of Maribojoc limestone,

    the youngest of the limestone units found in the western area of Bohol. One interesting

    geological feature found in the island is the Hinagdanan Cave which has an underground watersource. The cave is an important water source as the island has no rivers or lakes.

    The island is accessible by two bridges and from Tagbilaran it can be reached in about 20

    minutes. Travel time to resorts may take longer depending on the barangays where they are

    located. Rides to the island are available at the Dao Integrated Terminal. Vans-for-hire usually

    hang around at the Tagbilaran airport and the pier. For a more unique yet bumpy ride, the local

    tricycle will take more or less an hour. At Panglao market one can also hire a habal-habal (a

    motorbike) to bring you to the resort of your choice.

    Most of the roads leading to the barangays and to the beaches are still dirt roads but passable.

    The municipality of Panglao is still in the process of improving the roads for the ease and

    convenience of its visitors. Geared towards further improvement for tourism pursuits, the

    Panglao International Airport has been considered. However, the limestone composition of the

    island poses a major problem in the development of an airport as coralline limestone is soluble

    which causes formation of caves and sinkholes.

    A tourism spot that the island of Panglao boast is the Panglao Island Nature Resort and Spa

    which is located at Bingag, Dauis. I had a chance to visit this beach resort during one of my trips

    to the Philippines and was also able to take a number of photographs during my visit. This

    beautiful beach resort is just a fifteen minute drive from downtown Tagbilaran. It features a

    beach shoreline that provides a pristine beauty of what the island offers.

    The resort has airconditioned cottages, swimming pools, a restaurant & bar, function rooms, a

    beach, and a nearby man-made islet where you can order fresh seafood for lunch or dinner. It is

    the island's most luxurious resort which allows one to escape to a slice of paradise andexperience Bohols celebrated sights and sounds. Here, one can indulge and relax in world-class

    amenities while being pampered with warmth that is classic Boholano.

    TAGBILARAN'S RIZAL PARK

    Previously known as Plaza Principe, it was renamed after Jose Rizal and contains a life-sized

    statue of the national hero. It is located in front of the Capitol Building and St. Joseph's

    Cathedral. Flag poles for the Flags of Nations were installed by the Tagbilaran Lion's Club where

    flags of different countries are raised particularly during their national day. Some of the flags

    were donated by the foreign countries themselves.

    The Rizal Park has wooden seats sporadically provided under trees where one can relax and

    commune with nature. Many pigeons inhabit the area which makes the place a favorite hauntfor kids and adults alike. The pigeons are so used to the presence of humans that they just hop

    around when the kids run after them; sometimes flying off only to come back teasingly and

    land a few inches away.

    THE CATHEDRAL OF SAINT JOSEPH THE WORKER

    This cathedral is the main seat of the Catholic faith in Bohol. It is of Baroque architecture but

    remodeled after it was burnt down and now acquires a rather modern look. The picturesque

    Cathedral is located along Carlos P. Garcia Avenue and just across the street from the Rizal Park.

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    Saint Joseph is the patron of the church whose feast day falls on May 1st. The church has a

    picturesque setting with a number of paintings on stained glass. At the back of the Cathedral is

    a 3-storey rectory sitting astride the old convento which has long been converted into a Palacio

    de Obispado. Both old and new convents stand on a cliff overlooking Tagbilaran's scenic bay.

    Get around

    Bohol Island is easily accessible by bus, private cars, taxi and rental cars. Many of the towns in

    Bohol have a bus terminal where one can get a ride to other towns. Tagbilaran City, the capital

    city of Bohol has an integrated bus terminal located in Dao, where you can get a bus ride to get

    in most towns in Bohol. Most bus lines operate follows daily schedules. To go the the Chocolate

    Hills, one had to take the interior-route like Carmen-Sierra Bullones.Other ways, to get to different places in Bohol is to rent a car. There are several different

    transportation companies in Tagbilaran City where you can make arrangements to rent a car or

    van or jeepney. Taxis are also available, but usually you have to pay in pre-negotiated fare

    called Pakyaw.

    Bohol is a small island and ideal for touring on a motorbike. Small bikes or scooters can be

    rented for as low as P150-P200 in Tagbilaran or Panglao if you take it for a week or more,

    although you may pay double that price for single day or short term rentals. The whole coastal

    road is in very good condition, and people drive in a somehow safer way than the common

    Asian standard. The interior roads are particularly scenic, although some stretches are under

    construction and alternate paved portions with rocky and/or muddy ones, so watch theweather if you are on a small bike. Pension Houses can be found along the way in most market

    towns, with prices ranging from P300 to P1000 for a room with fan/AC and usually cable TV.

    "Vulcanizing" shops, where you can get small repairs or air pumps, are found all over the island.

    On the whole, people are surprised and happy to see you, and will give you a taste of local

    Boholan lifestyle away from resorts centers with inflated prices and touts.

    Activities

    Danao Adventure Park(E.A.T. Danao), Barangay Magtangtang, Danao, Bohol,[2].8:00am-4:00pm. Extreme/Eco/Educational Adventure Park that offers various activities for all ages.

    It boasts of a sky-ride, zip-line, river tubing, caving and trekking activities that will surely

    make a visit to Bohol memorable. It promises to be a whole new experience far superior to

    the common offer of Chocolate Hills tour, tarsier and dolphin/whale watching. Due to

    recent earthquake damage, the Danao Adventure Park is closed until further notice. Rates

    vary depending on choice of package or activity. edit

    Island Hopping. There are several uninhabited islands to explore just ten-minute boat ridefrom Panglao Island.

    Bohol Virgin Island

    One can escape from the resort crowd and head for quiet towards the clean white sands of

    Virgin Island. Technically speaking, Virgin Island is a only sandbar. Even during lowtide, the

    center part of this crescent moon shaped islet is submerged under 6 inches of water. This

    flooding divides the Virgin Island into two islets. The submerged part of the islet is a goodspot to take photographs because it gives an illusion of walking over the water. There are

    no accommodations or infrastructures in this small unspoiled island but this only adds its

    peaceful charm. edit

    Massage/Spa Diving: Bohol boasts the best diving sites in the world, and there are many diving center to

    provide the training courses for OW,AOW and so on.

    Bohol's rapidly growing status as a developing tourist attraction in the Philippines has resulted

    in the improvement of its tourist facilities. From quality boutique hotels to delightfully quaint

    bed-and-breakfasts, lovely top of the line hotels and resorts to a simple bed rented from a

    resident. As such, whatever your budget, you could easily find a suitable place to stay. During

    peak periods such as Holy Week, Christmas and New Year, rooms may be a bit more difficult to

    find and more expensive so it would be advisable to reserve in advance.

    essentially an agricultural province and rice, coconut, and corn are its main products. Most

    fishing towns are found in the northern part of the island, particularly those facing the Camotes

    Sea. Among the minerals the province produces are manganese, iron and tin.

    This island province has an incomparable world of wonders to offer its visitors. Many tourists

    seeking the simple charm of a rustic retreat have found this in Bohol. The province is a tropical

    haven of natural beauty and its coastline is skimmed by gentle coves and white sand beaches. Itis becoming a popular tourist destination since it is endowed with natural and historical

    attractions. With its rolling hills and plateaus, crystal springs and beaches, Bohol is a

    picturesque island replete with ancestral homes and centuries-old churches. The devotion of

    the people to religion gave rise to numerous old stone churches which are the most antiquated

    in the country. And most of these churches have their adjacent museums containing various

    interesting relics, religious art and artifacts.

    For many years Bohol, despite its potential for social and economic growth, has occupied a slot

    among the 20 poorest provinces in the Philippines. Due to the strong determination and clarity

    of purpose of the provincial government, Bohol made a big leap from being in No. 7 to No. 16 in

    a span of just a few years. The present provincial administration is striving to get Bohol out of

    the poverty pit. Since tourism and agriculture are Bohol's two economic drivers, the province is

    expected to anchor their poverty towards a better quality of life for its residents.

    THE CITY OF TAGBILARAN

    Tagbilaran is the Capital & Lone City of The Province of Bohol. It is the main business capital and

    center of governance of the province of Bohol aside from being the center of education and

    transportation. Commerce and trade is very promising in the city although business activities

    also thrive in port towns of Tubigon, Talibon, and Jagna which are known to be growth centers

    of the province. Tagbilaran, which is the lone city of the island, is the principal gateway to the

    island province of Bohol and is known as the "City of Peace and Friendship".

    Tagbilaran lies on the southwestern part of Bohol, and has a total land area of 32.7 km, with

    about 13 km of coastline. The peak heralding the border of Tagbilaran City to the south with anelevation of 145 meters is the Banat-I Hill. The hill commands a scenic view of the vast

    Mindanao Sea, of Negros and Siquijor provinces, and the Strait of Panglao Island. To the north

    of Tagbilaran City is Elly Hill with an elevation of 100 meters where one can enjoy the exquisite

    view of rich and verdant rolling hills and plains below it. It is situated about 5 kilometers away

    from the city proper.

    Tagbilaran City lies 630 kilometers southeast of Manila and is located 72 kilometers south of

    Cebu City. It lies on the southwestern part of the province, bounded on the north by the town

    of Cortes, on the northeast by the town of Corella, on the east of Baclayon, and on the south

    and west by Maribojoc Bay and Tagbilaran Strait, respectively.

    The city is a start-off point to Bohol province's attractions: the Chocolate Hills, white sandybeaches, dive spots, heritage sites and old stone churches. Home to several hotels, resorts, and

    restaurants, the city has recently become a venue for national conventions. The main tourist

    attractions of the city are the Kaingit Beach, Blood Compact Marker, Plaza Rizal, Provincial

    Capitol Building, Pres. Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park, Ubujan Marker, Bohol Museum, Banat-I

    Hill, Elly Hill, Jaycee Promenade, and the Childrens Playground and Mini Park.

    In loving memory of the greatest Boholano who became the 4th President of the Republic of

    the Philippines, the President Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park was erected. With an area of 11

  • 8/13/2019 Bohol Print

    18/20

    hectares, the site is of rolling terrain and boast of a marble base monument and a life-size

    bronze statue of Garcia done by Bohols famous sculptor, National Artist Napoleon Abueva.

    Garcia was also the first President of the 1971 Constitutional Convention.

    Tagbilaran City has its own airport located about 5 minutes ride from the heart of the city. The

    Tagbilaran Airport is the main airport of the province and caters to commercial aerial

    transportations such as Asian Spirit, Cebu Pacific, and Philippine Airlines. Regular flights from

    Manila, now almost daily, take about an hour and a half. There are no commercial flights out

    from Tagbilaran City to other destinations in the Philippines.

    The Tagbilaran City Seaport is the main port of Bohol and accommodates large commercial

    passenger and cargo vessels from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The port attends to more or

    less 5,000 passengers daily. The Dao Integrated Terminal located in the Dao district services

    buses and vans plying routes to different parts of the province.

    The Tagbilaran City Tourist Port serves boats and fastcraft ferries (Ocean Jet & Super Cat) plying

    the busy Cebu-Bohol sea traffic and major port cities in Mindanao. A fastcraft ferry ride from

    Cebu would take about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Transportation within the city consists of

    tricycles, multicabs, jeepneys, buses, taxis and vans. Multicabs and jeepneys ply the longer

    routes while taxis and vans- for-hire are usually used for out-of-town travel. All of them are

    found in the Tagbilaran City Integrated Bus Terminal in Dao District. Bolanios Bus Lines, Mega

    Bus Lines, UltraBus Lines and Silver Star Bus Lines are the bus companies plying the Tagbilaran

    City to Metro Manila route with each bus line having at least one daily trip.

    BOHOL'S LANDMARKS & ATTRACTIONS

    InfrastructureAirportDevelopment programs at theTagbilaran Airport involve the extension of the runway length to 2,500 meters, to

    handle the A320s that will serve the direct route to Manila. The small Fokker 50 planes that used to fly the Manila-

    Tagbilaran route have been phased out and are now replaced by Philippine Airlines' as well as Cebu Pacific's Airbus

    A319s . Improvement of the ramp area will soon accommodate bigger aircraft and a modern airport building will

    also be constructed.[26]

    Though a number of national flag carriers are already servicing the Tagbilaran City Airport, a proposed

    international airport (seePanglao Island International Airport)has been planned on the nearbyPanglao Island to

    accommodate bigger aircraft and handle larger volumes of passengers and tourists to the province. The said

    International Airport in Panglao is built-up with controversy. Accordingly, lands located in the right-of-way (ROW)

    owned by the private sectors that were bought cheap are being sold expensively and are giving the project a slight

    glitch. Thus, creating further issues and delays.

    SeaportsTheTagbilaran City Wharf, now called the Tagbilaran City Tourist Pier, has port facilities such as:

    265.8 metres (872 ft) berth length and 2 dedicated berths for fast boats 2roll-on/roll-off ramps, 1,820 square metres (19,600 sq ft) storage area average cargo handling capacity of 49,000 tons accommodating 10 to 20 footer vans container traffic of 5,142 TEUs

    completion of the Tagbilaran Water Supply Project. Thirty-two (32) deep wells with submersible pumps operate at

    a daily capacity of 19,000 cubic meters.

    Several water projects are in the pipeline to respond to water requirements for both domestic and industrial use.The Central Visayas Water and Sanitation Project and the construction of Level III water systems have made water

    available in 16 other municipalities. Likewise, the development of Ujan Spring in Cortes with a daily capacity of

    3,500 cubic meters and Loboc River which will generate at least 100,000 cubic meters daily capacity are currently

    being pushed.[26]
