Sandugo Festival in Bohol


As what I have known this Festival is a big celebration in bohol it is to gather thousand of boholanos that will be held on the begginning of July.

The main highlights of the Sandugo Festival are the street parade followed by a street dancing competition and then the re-enactment of the Blood Compact. The street parade and subsequent competition is participated in by different high schools in Tagbilaran, including entries from Local Government Units (LGUs) or municipalities as well as guests from other cities and provinces.


Well decorated floats grace the parade and one of them usually carries the winners of the Miss Bohol Sandugo Pageant. Other floats are from the business sector and associations. On foot are the local officials and the police force. Each of the street dancing participants has choreographed dance patterns executed with the accompaniment of xylophones, drums, and trumpets. Costumes are bright and colourful including gadgets and paraphernalia such as banners and flags.

Loboc River

After doing our countryside tour we take our lunch in the most famous restaurant, the floating restaurant in loboc.This floating restaurant cruises the river of Loboc.



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.

Loboc Hanging Bridge

I had already experience passing through across the upper part of the Loboc River in Bohol using this hanging bamboo bridge.this is a major tourist attraction.

The bridge hangs approximately 20 meters above the Loboc River and sways back and forth as you walk across.

The bridge over the Loboc river connects the village on the other side to the world and it's quite fun doing the walk... This is seldom part of a tour program.

Dolphin Watching

When we do dolphin watching it was really disappointed because we are not able to find the dolphins and it is because the sea was rough it was not a good day for us better next time.hmmm.But if you want to have the oppurtunity to watch dolphins be sure that you are in the island early in the morning.

Dolphins are spotted on the surface of the ocean mainly because of their necessity to breathe fresh air and when it’s playing time for them after their meal. The reason why the tour early in the morning because usually the sea is calm and after viewing the dolphins you will be going be either to Pamilacan Island or Balicasag Island for your swimming and snorkeling.

Balicasag Island Panglao,Bohol

I have been this Island,located off Panglao Island in Bohol, the island called Balicasag. 1.5 hectares out of its total 25 hectares have been developed into a resort. The island’s crystal blue waters provide a clear, vivid view of its corals, fishes and other marine life.As I told to myself that my stay has been complete when we already visit the place it was nice and beautiful.
The resort is frequented by divers, foreign and local. It has a dive shop which offers instructions on scuba diving. Of interest are shells and fresh fish that are sold by the islanders to guests of the resort.

Hinagdanan Cave in Panglao


During our stay in panglao,Hinagdanan Cave is near from the place,.We have been there once and experience going inside at the cave at first you can feel the fear but there are some people who will guide you there.It was nice and it seems the place was preserved the water is clear and inside Hinagdanan Cave are a number of stalactites which can be seen at the ceiling and stalagmites which protrudes on the cave’s grounds. There used to be a lot of bats staying inside the cave, but now you can barely hear these bats squeaking. These bats are hard to see as they hide in the dark areas of the caves. ,in outside the cave I cant imagine that there is a cave in that ground.

Hinagdanan is one of the famous cave in the Philippines.
