PHILIPPINES - Bohol Island -

Panglao Island

Bohol is located in the heart of the Visayas region, consisting of the island itself and dozens of minor surrounding islands. Its capital is Tagbilaran City. These islands are a popular tourist destination with its beaches and resorts. The Chocolate Hills, numerous mounds of limestone formations, are the most popular attraction. Panglao Island is famous for its diving locations and beautiful beaches.

Bohol has a number of very old churches, dating back to the early years of the Spanish colonization of the island. But on October 15, 2013, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake destroyed the churches of Loon, Maribojoc, and Loboc, and heavily damaged most other historic churches in Bohol.
