Travel and Trip


Bohol is one of the best tourist destination in the Philippines. I only see this before in television, commercials and print ads. I promise myself that one day I will go to this place to see on my own eyes its amazing grandeur.

MAP OF BOHOL


Bohol is the tenth largest Island with an area of 4,117 sq. km. As you have seen in the map it is somewhat an oval shape. In just one day, you can quickly visit almost all the towns of Bohol using motorcycles.




This is the motorbike I used to roam around in the Island of Bohol and these are the places I visited in just one day:





The Famous Chocolate Hills






 The Sagbayan Peak
















Loboc Church of San Pedro, the second oldest church in Bohol built in 1602

The "Torogan" - Maranao Royal House

This is the picture of the controversial "Torogan House" which I took during my overnight stay in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac Bataan. A Torogan was a symbol of high social status of maranao, a tribal people occupying the land around Lake Lanao situated in the central part of Lanao del Sur. The province where I was born in 1964 during the Philippine Resettlement Era. My father was among the first settlers in Wao Lanao del Sur, my birth place. History will tell us that this torogan was once the residence of Sultan or Datu in the Maranao Community, The last habitable torogan was declared as a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines.

I LIKE TO STAY THERE LONGER BUT I CAN NOT DO SO BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO STAY AND IF IT SAFE FOR ME TO STAY THERE BECAUSE THOUGH I WAS BORN THERE BUT I WAS RAISED IN RIZAL PROVINCE. MY PARENTS WERE AMONG THE EARLIEST SETTLERS IN THIS MUNICIPALITY, TRYING TO BE A PART OF THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY BUT DURING THAT TIME ACCORDING TO MY PARENTS ACCOUNT IT IS A NO MAN’S LAND.
