Last month of september me and my partner deicided to go vacation somewhere in visayas part..We chooce the city of the island paradise pravince of bohol. I can say that there are places in the Philippines where in tourism is growing. I will give you some back ground in bohol.
City of the island paradise pravince of bohol, It is situated some 630 kilometers southeast of Manila and 72 kilometers south of Cebu City. Tagbilaran lies on the southwestern part of the province, and has a total land area of 3,270 hectares, including about thirteen kilometers of coastline.
The City forms an elongated strip, with ridges and rolling hills, two peaks rise on both ends, Elley Hill (100-meters) on the north and Banat-i (145-meters) on the south. There are 15 barangays comprising Tagbilaran, with an estimated population of 94,137 (OCPDC estimate) for the year 2007, with an annual growth rate of 3.2%. However, 41% of the entire population reside in the 4 urban barangays where trade and commerce are concentrated.
By the way, the origin of the name TAGBILARAN was derived from the word TAGUBILAAN, a contraction then of two local dialect terms TAGU, which means “to hide” and BILAAN, which refers to a Muslim marauder tribe or Moros who were feared by the early settlers because they pillaged and looted the place. In brief, TAGBILARAN means “to hide from the Moros.”
On February 9, 1742, Governor-General Gaspar dela Torre signed a decree establishing the separate town of San Jose de Tagbilaran from the town of Baclayon. Since then, this once unheralded town has been under the mantle of the Province of Bohol until it became a Chartered City on July 1, 1966 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4660, that she made a name of her own.
