Bohol Island Philippines

The day after the wedding of my brother me and my sister went to Cebu to meet my friend there and headed to Bohol for a short trip. First Stop Sagbayan-Peak – it is known to have a giant dinosaur known as T-rex. This dinosaur is fearsome to look and it is 19 feet in length and ten feet tall.  There was also some cartoon characters strewn in the area. Butterfly dome is also there. You can have also a sneak peak of their famous attraction the chocolate hills. Chocolate hills one of the wonders in the world.  As summer approaches the color change from green to brown that’s why the hills are being called chocolate by many.  We did not also missed to visit the man made forest. The famous Loboc river cruise lunch, eat all you can in their buffet. We did not miss also the hanging bridge made of bamboo. Close encounter with the Tarsier the smallest primate you can find in the Philippines particularly in Bohol Island. We went also to the place where blood compact monument is located, the area where the blood compact took place between the Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This compact is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. Philippines were under Spanish colonization for 333 years that’s why 90% of Filipinos are Catholics. We stop at Baclayon Church and pray. This church is the second oldest stone church in the Philippines. We enjoyed our short trip and each one of us promise to comeback Bohol Island and explore some tourist attraction this island is offering.
