Bolod Beach in Panglao, Bohol, Philippines

I spend my holy week in Bohol, Philippines, my home province to meet my sisters and have some quality time together.  The three days was spent doing Catholic rituals like going to 7 churches or Visita Iglesia, hearing the 7 last words and doing procession.  And on Easter Sunday we decided to have some fun in the beach. We decided to leave early, around 6 am in the morning and arrived at the beach before 7 o'clock.  Our planned beach resort should be Dumaluan but we are unlucky because the cottages where all fully booked.  The guard referred us to Bolod Beach Resort just beside Dumaluan but we have to go to another road.

Well, we arrived in Bolod Beach Resort and got our cottage at 300 pesos. The kids immediately ran to the beach after we put our food at the table.  The water was a little colder at 7 am but still so nice.  The heat of the sun is very okay at this time.  Around 10 am we decided to go home to attend to my nephews birthday party. 

Here are some of my pictures in the resort.

Last december my sister treated us to Payag Restaurant for her birthday.  There were 24 of us my parents, sisters and their families.

Most of us orderered their specialty the JO's chicken Inato which cost only 95 pesos with unlimited rice.  The chicken for that specialty was big and it is barbecued.  The chicken taste delicious and is cooked very well inside.  Every piece of chicken tastes good.  And for the drinks I ordered their mango shake and as expected it also tasted good.  They have also other menus like pork BBQ and some other dishes.

Wow Lonoy, Jagna, Bohol

Promoting Lonoy, my home, my birthplace. 
This video from youtube shows the beautiful places this barrio can offer.

Lonoy, Jagna, Bohol

I was born in Lonoy, Jagna, Bohol. I live here for more than 10 years and sometimes I still visit this place. I miss the serenity and simplicity living in a barrio like Lonoy.

Lonoy is located in the mountain part in Jagna, Bohol. It is just around 15-30 minutes of travel from the town's proper. It is part of the history because of The Battle of Lonoy. The Battle of Lonoy in 1901 was a bloody American surprise attack launched on Filipino insurgents that killed over 400 in the Philippine-American War.

Lonoy is already a parish and you can hear mass everyday. It has one elementary school and 1 high school.

What you should not miss when you visit this place is the "Tubod". Tubod is a cold spring where you can take a bath, drink fresh water, even wash your clothes. When I was young we sometimes look for some "soso" (shell) for our food.

Another nice spot to visit here is the Kinahugan Falls. Kinahugan Falls is located in the border line between Lonoy and Cabungaan. Expect a nice water falls and some beautiful trees around.

Ohh, I really miss this place especially now that I am living the city...
