Panglao

Hinagdanan Cave is a cave in the municipality of Dauis on Panglao Island, in Bohol Province, in
the Philippines. It is a naturally lighted cavern with a deep lagoon and many
large stalactites and stalagmites.
The cave is lit by sunlight which filters through holes in the ceiling. The underground lake is a
popular swimming spot, but it has been known to test for high levels of various pollutants, since it is
fed by ground runoff.

Hinagdanan Cave is made of limestone. The entrance of the cave is a hole of about 1 metre wide in
diameter, visible from a limestone hill. Cemented steps lead to the interior of the cave. The cave is
slippery, but there's a railing made of rope to hold on to avoid accident due to slippery stones of the
cave. The cave is filled with sleeping birds in small holes in the ceiling. The sunlight that permeates
is unsuitable for bats.

Hinagdanan Cave was accidentally discovered when the owner of the area was clearing the
decaying branches of the land when he found the hole. The owner threw a stone into the hole, then
he heard a splash. Then he built a ladder to get into the cave. They named it Hinagdanan, means
"laddered" used to get into the cave's interior.

The cave is about 100 metres long of beautiful rock formations. The stalactites and stalagmites stick
out from the ceiling and floor of the cave as though trying to meet each other. Inside the cave, there's
also a lagoon with a greenish surface produced by the green limestone at the bottom of the pool,
where people used to bath in the lagoon, however, it has been advised to not go dip into the lagoon
because of the karst pollutants present in the water.

Pamilacan

Pamilacan is an island in the Bohol Sea (also called Mindanao Sea), situated 12.5 kilometres
(7.8 mi) south of Bohol island, Philippines. It is a barangay of the municipality of Baclayon. According
to the 2010 census, it has a population of 1,422, [1] comprising about 240 families whose main
livelihoods now concentrate on dolphin- and whale-watching tours and subsistence fishing, but in the
past also included whale, dolphin and manta ray hunting.

Pamilacan perhaps means "resting place of the mantas", but it can also be considered to derive from
the word pamilac, or harpoon, a device that was historically used to capture the mantas, dolphins
and whales.[2]

To the northeast of the island is a 200-year-old Spanish fort, which in the past served as
a watchtower for the Spaniards to look out for intruders, such as pirates and other enemies,
particularly those coming from the south.[2]

Aside from being famous for the whaleshark and dolphin-watching activities, the island is also known
for its white sand beaches and renowned for its snorkelling and dive sites, such as Dakit-
Dakit. Snake Island or Cervera Shoal is a sunken plateau about 18 metres (59 ft) deep, on the south
of Pamilacan. It is covered with coral but lies in the middle of the ocean, which is why there usually is
a very strong current. Here one can see black-white banded sea snakes, sea turtles, moray
eels, nudibranchs and bucket sponges.

Sevilla

Bamboo hanging bridge

e Bamboo Hanging Bridge crossing the Sipatan River in the Municipality of Sevilla, Bohol, is a fun
tourist attraction. Originally constructed using just bamboo and rope, today the rope has made way
to steel cables, giving added safety and stability.The deck of the bridge is formed out of woven
bamboo slats. In places some of these appear broken but its still sturdy enough to take the weight of
tourists, locals and even small motorcycles.

Stepping onto the bridge is a little daunting at first, the bamboo deck flexing a little under your feet.
Although the support cables are made of steel, you still experience some side to side sway and up
and down bounce

Bilar

Man made forest

The Bohol Man-Made is a mahogany forest stretching in a 2km stretch of densely planted with
Mahogany trees located in the border of Loboc and Bilar towns. Before and after you reach the man-

The source of the Loboc River is located in the town of Carmen, almost in the center of Bohol. From
Carmen, the river takes a westerly course for a distance of about 1.5 kilometres (1 mi) then flows
due south into the Mindanao or Bohol Sea. Its drainage area of approximately, 520 square
kilometres (200 sq mi), is bordered by a horseshoe-shaped chain of mountain peaks rising to an
elevation of 800 metres (2,600 ft). Rainfall is distributed almost uniformly throughout the year, thus
Loboc River has a steady and high base flow.

the Spanish explorer Miguel Lpez de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March

and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565.
