another. The tarsier feeds mainly on insects and small reptiles.

Chocolate Hills
The unusual geological formation in Bohol
Province, Philippines. There are at least 1,260 hills but there may be
as many as 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 square
kilometres. They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the
dry season, hence the name.
According to the latest accurate survey done, there are 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometres (20 sq mi). They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season, hence the name.
The Chocolate Hills are a famous tourist attraction of Bohol. They are featured in the provincial flag and seal to symbolize the abundance of natural attractions in the province. They are in the Philippine Tourism Authority's list of tourist destinations in the Philippines.
Legend has it that the hills came into existance when two giants threw stones and sand at each other in a fight that lasted for days. When they were finally exhausted, they made friends and left the island, but left behind the mess they made. For the more romantically inclined is the tale of Arogo, a young and very strong giant who fell in love with an ordinary mortal girl called Aloya. After she died, the giant Arogo cried bitterly. His tears then turned into hills, as a lasting proof of his grief.

Loboc river cruise
where you can dinne in, cruising is another
favourite tourist attraction in Bohol. People here enjoy the river and
its natural surroundings while having a buffet lunch.
4. Sandugo Shrine at Tagbilaran City, Bohol
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos.The Blood Compact of Legazpi and Sikatuna
Also at Bohol, Legazpi was given a hostile welcome. From his Malay pilot, he learned that this hostility was due to marauding expeditions of the Portuguese. Coming from the Moluccas, the Portuguese raiders traversed the Visayan seas, and just a few years before, in 1563, had plundered Bohol and killed or enslaved about one thousand of its inhabitants. Of course, the Boholano's easily mistook the Spaniards for Portuguese.
Again with the help of his pilot, Legazpi explained two chiefs of Bohol, Datu Sikatuna of Bool and Datu Sigala of Loboc that they were not Portuguese, and had come in peace, and not to plunder or kill. This convinced the Kings to end their hostility and enter pact of friendship. On 16 March 1565 (or 25 March, records are confused due to the Gregorian calendar reform in 1584), Legazpi and Sikatuna performed the now famous blood compact, probably not far from the modern town of Loay. This event is still celebrated in Bohol every year in June with the Sandugo ("One Blood") festival. The same ceremony was repeated three days later with Sigala.
5.
Cave in Bohol
which has become a tourist attraction. It's a rather tourist-friendly cave since it allows plenty of light in from above. And you can take a bath at the underground pool. Just don't mind the bats that fly overhead though.
It is a karst
cave; meaning, it is made of limestone. The cave is within easy reach.
To reach it, one will have to walk through dense vegetation of just
about one kilometer. One will find the entrance of the cave, a hole
about 1 meter wide in diameter, visible from a limestone hill. Cemented
steps lead to the interior of the cave. The cave is a slippery, but
there’s a railing made of rope to hold on to.
The Cave was accidentally discovered when the owner of the area was clearning decaying branches and found the hole. Throwing a stone into the hole, the owner heard a splash. A ladder was then built to get to the inside of the cave. Hinagdanan, in fact, means “laddered” and the cave took its name from the man-made ladder used to get to the cave’s interior.
Inside, one spelunk and admire the beautiful stalactite and stalagmite formations. The cavern is about 100 meters long of beautiful rock formations. The stalactites and stalagmites stick out from the ceiling and floor of the cave as though trying to meet each other.
Inside the cave, there’s also a lagoon whose glimmering greenish surface is produced by the green limestone at the bottom of the pool. People used to bath in the lagoon. Recently, however, it has been advised to not dip in the lagoon because of the karst pollutants present in the water.
But perhaps the most unique feature of the cave, are the two eyelike-holes found on the ceiling of the cave. From these holes stream light from the outside, giving the whole cave an eerie and, at the same time, beautiful effect. Artificial lights have also been added to make tourists see better the beauty of the cave.
