BOHOL
The
island province lies southeast of Cebu in Central Philippines and is approximately
one hour and fifty minutes from Manila. Apart from its world-famous Chocolate
Hills as its attraction, Bohol's beauty lies in its unpolluted waters
which are rated among the best diving havens in the world and being the
home of the world's rarest shells such as the "Gloria maris" and
the Golden Cowrie. The islands of Panglao, Balicasag and Pamilacan are superb
diving spots of the province. In Panglao Island, a popular destination
is the Hinagdanan Cave where you will find underground springs. Bohol is
also the home of the tarsier, the big-eyed insect-eating monkey whose
size is smaller than a boy's fist. Scientists regard the tarsier as the
oldest mammal now inhabiting the earth.
