Travel_Loboc Wildlife & Nature Park

This is another spot here in Bohol that you might want to visit. I am not recommending it though, however, if you are- you might want to check this place.

I am actually not a fan of a zoo cause I felt that these animals should not be there locked in four corners of a small cage and sadly without any companion.

I actually loved the nature walk and the Tarsier. It was my dream to see one in person aside from the pictures I saw in print and on the screen. And thank goodness it does not disappoint. We did saw at least four and I took a lot of pictures of them.

This place caters to different animals locally and others are imported from other countries. Of course, my daughters were fascinated and enjoyed the tour that we have here. kudos to our tour guide inside this place as he narrates well and gives life to the tour, love his humor.

Let me share some of the photos that I took.

Travel_Baclayon Church

We made a quick visit to this historical site of Bohol and we are educated on how old this church is, withstand the test of time.

Captivated how the altar was adorned and lighted a mass is being held when we arrived in the place. It was almost 6 PM when we reached this church and the museum is already closed and left us not much to do but to admire the beauty of the old church wall.

The museum entrance fee is Php 50.00 while there is no church fee. I was able to snap some photos and will share them on this page.

Your Bohol trip will not be complete without a visit in this place as this holds the early Christian faith here in Bohol and how it spread in the entire Philippines. Known as the 2nd oldest church established in the Philippines the church walls itself has a lot of stories to tell.

La Purisima Concepcion de la Virgen Maria Parish Church (also The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary Parish Church), commonly known as Baclayon Church, is a Roman Catholic Church in the municipality of Baclayon, Bohol, the Philippines within the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tagbilaran. Baclayon was founded by the Jesuit priest Juan de Torres and Gabriel Sánchez in 1596 and became the oldest Christian settlement in Bohol. It was elevated as a parish in 1717 and the present coral stone church was completed in 1737. The Augustinian Recollects succeeded the Jesuits in 1768 and heavily renovated the church since then.- Wikipedia

Bell tower of Baclayon Church / Watchtower

The quadrangular watchtower, which was also the church's bell tower, was left unfinished by the Jesuits when they were expelled out of the country.[11] The Augustinian Recollects, who succeeded the Jesuits, completed the watchtower.[1][11] It is used to be a detached structure from the church and was connected after the addition of the portico. Made of coral stones, it also has a bas relief of Saint Andrew with an inscription of the date the tower was finished during Father San Andrés de la Santísima Trinidad's administration, May 20, 1777. It still has the original six out of the nine bells from 1880 to 1894 during Father Cabañas' terms.[11] The seventh bell (1886) is in the church museum while the eight bells (1872) are given to the newly founded parish of Corella. - Wikipedia

Church walls were built from coral stones and millions of egg whites that make the stones bonded together.

The recently renovated altar is beautifully adorned of  lovely chandelier

I am fascinated by the ceiling murals of this church.

That checkered  tiled chessboard floor complements the ceiling 

Every church angle is an IG worthy background 

I really liked those colored glass window, it gives life to those neatly piled rocks

Travel_Alona Beach

This is just one of the many white-sand beaches Panglao island boasted which is just a few minutes away from Dumaluan Beach.

Unlike Dumaluan, Alona Beach has a short shoreline measuring only of a 1.5-kilometer stretch of white powdery sand being bordered by two rock walls in each end. You could jog the entire shoreline for only 15 minutes and walk for 20 minutes from end to end. You will indeed fall in love walking barefoot the entire stretch of white powdery sand while enjoying how the water combined with the powdery sand touches your skin and at the same time having a grand view of the ocean in front of you any time of the day.

How amazing is that??

The beach was nameless back in the '70s, until Alona Alegre a Filipino actress shoot a movie on the shoreline of this beach. Alona Alegre is the daughter of comedian-actor Lou Salvador and LVN actress Inday Jalandoni. She was the younger sister of fellow actor Lou Salvador Jr. and the older sister of Phillip Salvador. She was friendly and always put a smile on the locals that captivated their hearts by her charm. With such a lovely attitude and behavior her name, Alona leaves a mark to the locals of the place that even after filming ended locals still remembered the place as "the beach where Alona shoot her feature film" (Yung pinag-shootingan ni Alona). As time passed by and to make the name short they named it Alona Beach, thus it is what we called nowadays.

Few meters from the shoreline of Alona beach are bar and restos for locals and tourists alike. The nightlife here is alive yet not as wild and noisy as that of Boracay. Restos offers different cuisines from Italian, American, French, Swiss and of course or local delicacies.

There are also a lot of accommodations along the shoreline that offers sea view and will not disappoint. From 5 stars to low budget accommodations all available in Alona beach.

When Boracay in Aklan temporarily closed for rehabilitation this is one of the beaches in Panglao where tourists flocked for summer vacay. Indeed the place is not that crowded and commercialized.

Let me share you some of my captured moments in video and in my camera 😊
