The Philippine Tarsier

This picture of the Philippine Tarsier was taken at the Tarsier Sanctuary in Loboc, Bohol.

Some info about the tarsier from bohol.ph:

The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta) is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men's hand. Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes has it that tarsiers eat charcoal, but actually they retrieve the insects from (sometimes burned) wood. It can be found in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao in the Philippines.

If no action is taken, the tarsier might not survive. Although it is a protected species, and the practice of catching them and then selling them as stuffed tarsiers to tourists has stopped, the species is still threatened by the destruction of his natural forest habitat. Many years of both legal and illegal logging and slash-and-burn agriculture have greatly reduced these forests, and reduced the tarsier population to a dangerously small size. If no action is taken now, the Philippine tarsier can soon be added to the list of extinct species.

Early Morning Scene at the Port of Tagbilaran City

This pic of the Tagbilaran City Port was taken while we were waiting for the tour guide and coaster bus to arrive.

Punta Cruz Watch Tower

The Punta Cruz Watch Tower is located in the town of Maribojoc, about 14 km west of Tagbilaran City. This triangular-shaped watch tower oversees the seas South of Bohol. From its windows at the top, you can see Cebu, Siquijor, and Mindanao. The Spanish had it build in 1796 as a look-out post against pirates and Muslim marauders, who at that time where a plague to the people of Bohol.

Today the Punta Cruz watch tower still provides an excellent view. The site now offers a small stall for buying food and drinks and makes an ideal place for picnic and swimming.

How to get there: At the Tagbilaran Integrated Bus Terminal in Dao, ride the bus going to Tubigon and ask the driver to drop you off at Punta Cruz. The watch tower is about 500 meters away from the highway.

Saint Padre Pio's Image in Baclayon Church Pillar

Allegedly, Saint Padre Pio's image mysteriously appeared in one of the pillars of Baclayon Church in Bohol.

The image is not very clear when viewed with the naked eye but once you point your digicam to the pillar, it become very apparent in the camera's LCD display.

These are the pictures I have taken during our trip to Bohol.
