I think this church is quite special. It is a church that puts religious figures and secular figures together, and they are placed side by side. However, this church has a very long history and the locals also value it very much.

Beautiful island just a boat ride from Bohol. We had a snorkeling trip here and were spoilt with beautiful crystal clear water. We got to see turtles and beautiful marine life. The locals all work together to keep the island clean. Lunch was simple but good and there are ladies selling souvenirs. Overall a beautiful island to visit.Tips: Go early to avoid the crowdsReasons to Recommend: Snorkeling and diving

The first time I went to the Philippines, I went to Long Beach. I didn't feel anything. The second time I drove here, I was pleasantly surprised. There is basically no development here. For someone like me who wants to experience diving, the seabed is very beautiful. I saw sardine storms, clown fish, turtles...
