Ba-lik sa Bohol, Ba-lik! (Ba-lik! Ba-lik!)

I have a severe case of “Last Song Syndrome”. The song “Balik sa Bohol” kept on playing in my mind from the first time I’ve heard it at the very scenic Loboc river up to the departure area of Tagbilaran airport.And just like the song, images of the scenic Bohol also kept on flashing in my head as I relish the moments I was there.

Bohol Island Basics

Bohol is the 10th largest island in the Philippines and it is home to the smallest primate, the Tarsier, and the famous chocolate hills. The island is bounded by Cebu on the north western part, Leyte on the north eastern, Negros, Siquijor, Camiguin and Mindanao Islands in the south.

It is just an hour away via supercat (fast craft) ferry from Cebu and an hour travel by air from Manila. It is also accessible by RORO (roll-on, roll-off ferry) and inter-island ferries through the different ports around Bohol connecting the surrounding islands.

Just south of the main Bohol island is Panglao island where we stayed for our vacation. Panglao island boasts of white beaches, snorkling and diving sites. It is connected to the main island by two bridges and is the place of many luxurious beach resorts. Panglao has 5 beach areas and of those beaches, Alona beach is the most lined with resorts to stay.
