Balicasag's Underwater Paradise

*I had to think of another group name.  Everytime I typed in TURTLES TRAVEL DIARIES, I felt so juvenile. And mortified.*

Dagohoy's Danao

Bohol: Day 2 of 5.

Up to that day, it never occurred to me that getting tired of being scared sh*tless for your life was attainable.  Plus I don't think I've hiked on THAT much terrain in rubber slippers this entire life.

DANAO.

A little bit of trivia:

Francisco Dagohoy (born Francisco Sendrijas) initiated and led the longest insurrection in Philippine history.   He was joined by leaders Ignacio Aranez, Pedro Baguio, and Bernardo Sanote of Tagbilaran, Baclayon, and Dauis.  The revolt lasted from 1744 to 1828.  Caves played an important role in the uprising, serving as very effective hideouts and shelters.

Danao Adventure Park used to be Dagohoy's base camp.  Looking at how rugged, wet, and somehow wild this place is, it's no wonder that they were able to evade capture (by foot!), with the revolt lasting 85 years.

The Beauty That Is Bohol

 Bohol: Day 1 of 5.

Around this time last year, Cebu Pacific launched a seat sale for most of it's domestic destinations (kinda forgot if they did international too).

Still pleasantly hungover our Oslob/Dumaguete trip, we booked for two destinations: Palawan and Bohol.  The Palawan trip has already been completed early this year.

So anyway. Bohol.
