<h2>Vest pension house offers tours to all these great Bohol destinations!</h2>
<p>The Chocolate Hills<br />
The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol&#39;s most famous tourist attraction. They look<br />
like giant mole hills, or as some say, women&#39;s breasts, and remind us of the hills<br />
in a small child&#39;s drawing. Most people who first see pictures of this landscape<br />
can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this idea<br />
is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely surpass the construction of the<br />
pyramids in Egypt&#39;s. The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills<br />
(some claim this to be the exact number). They are very uniform in shape and mostly<br />
between 30 and 50 meters high. They are covered with grass, which, at the end of<br />
the dry season, turns chocolate brown. From this color, the hills derive their name.<br />
At other times, the hills are green, and the association may be a bit difficult<br />
to make. </p>
<p>Legend has it that the hills came into existence when two giants threw stones<br />
and sand at each other in a fight that lasted for days.When they were finally exhausted,<br />
they made friends and left the island, but left behind the mess they made. For the<br />
more romantically inclined is thetale of Arogo, a young and very strong giant who<br />
fell in love with an ordinary mortal girl called Aloya. After she died, the giant<br />
Arogo cried bitterly. His tears then turned into hills, as a lasting proof of his<br />
grief. </p>
<p>However, up to this day, even geologists have not reached consensus on how they<br />
where formed. The most commonly accept theory is that they are the weathered formations<br />
of a kind of marine limestone on top of a impermeable layer of clay. If you climb<br />
the 214 steps to the top of the observation hill near the complex, you can read<br />
this explanation on a bronze plaque. </p>
<p><strong>How to get there</strong><br />
Plenty of tourist guides and tour operators will be happy to bring you to the chocolate<br />
hills, either as a separate trip or as part of a day tour. However, if you want<br />
to go here on your own, from Tagbilaran, you will have to go the integrated bus<br />
terminal in Dao and catch a bus going to Carmen. If you look like a stranger, you<br />
will have a hard time not finding one. At the entrance of the bus terminal people<br />
will point you to the right bus. Make sure it is the first one to leave, and ask<br />
the driver to drop you off at the Chocolate Hills complex, about 4 kilometers before<br />
the town of Carmen. From there it is a 10 minute walk along a road winding up to<br />
the complex. </p>
<p>To get back to Tagbilaran, you will have to walk back to the main road, and wait<br />
for a bus to pass by. The last bus from Carmen to Tagbilaran leaves at four P.M.<br />
Alternatively, you can use the services of the motorcyclists who often wait here<br />
for tourist, and ride &#39;habal-habal,&#39; or motorbike taxi. </p>
<p>If you&#39;re coming from Tubigon (arriving from Cebu by boat), a few buses go to<br />
Carmen daily, but sometimes you&#39;ll have to wait for some time for the bus to fill<br />
up. When you arrive in Carmen, you can catch the next bus or jeepney in the direction<br />
of Bilar, Loay or Tagbilaran, or ask a &#39;habal-habal&#39; driver to bring you to the<br />
Chocolate Hills Complex.</p>
<p>

<h4>The Philippine Tarsier</h4>
<p><br class="spacer_" />
</p>
<p>The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta) is very peculiar small animal. In<br />
fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men&#39;s hand.<br />
Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes<br />
has it that tarsiers eat charcoal, but actually they retrieve the insects from (sometimes<br />
burned) wood. It can be found in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao<br />
in the Philippines. </p>
<p>If no action is taken, the tarsier might not survive. Although it is a protected<br />
species, and the practice of catching them and then selling them as stuffed tarsiers<br />
to tourists has stopped, the species is still threatened by the destruction of his<br />
natural forest habitat. Many years of both legal and illegal logging and slash-and-burn<br />
agriculture have greatly reduced these forests, and reduced the tarsier population<br />
to a dangerously small size. If no action is taken now, the Philippine tarsier can<br />
soon be added to the list of extinct species. </p>
<p>Not &quot;The World Smallest Monkey&quot;<br />
&quot;The world&#39;s smallest monkey&quot; is an often heard slogan. However, it is not a monkey.<br />
In truth, its classification is somewhat problematic. Some scientists consider tarsiers<br />
to be a taxonomic suborder among the primates. While, because they are closely related<br />
to lemurs, lorises and bush babies,others classify them with the prosimians to which<br />
these animals belong. Monkeys and apes belong to the suborder of anthropoids.</p>

<p>This five-hectare mountaintop resort and recreation center offers massive, spectacular<br />
viewing for nature covers. Its viewing deck offers a 360-degree perspective of the<br />
Chocolate Hills plus the blue sea that separates Bohol and Cebu. The high-powered<br />
telescopes on the view deck are a treat. With a 10-peso coin, you can have a view<br />
of Cebu City from across the sea for a minute or two. There&#39;s a playground in the<br />
middle of a grassy field, while a flea market at a side offered native products<br />
and delicacies. Caf? Baudillo is an imposing structure on Sagbayan Peak, with its<br />
spacious veranda and congenial ambience.As of March 20, 2005 the management has<br />
added attraction to the influx of both local and foreign tourists by bringing the<br />
life-size giant dinosaur known as t-rex. It is 19 feet in length and 10 feet in<br />
height and is properly situated at the old parking lot near the stairs leading to<br />
the pavilion area. Myrna Torrefranca is the operations manager and wife of Mayor<br />
Jimmy Torrefranca. They purchased the T-rex all the way from Pampanga by Manila-based<br />
business couple Allan and Delia Torrefranca only to give additional attraction to<br />
the site even with the existence of another cartoon character like Duffy Duck, Bugs<br />
Bunny, Lola, Marilyn Monroe, Donald Duck, Pizza Man, Snow White and 7 Dwarfs, Lion<br />
King, Tiger and other dinosaurs. Sagbayan before, was known as an ambush area. Since<br />
Jimmy Torrefrance became chief executive, here the Torrefranca family worked hard<br />
if only to change the image of the town into a tourist destination until the Sagbayan<br />
Peak was born.</p>

Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon</strong></p>
<p>The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon is considered<br />
to be one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It is one of the best persevered<br />
Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian<br />
Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround<br />
the church. The first Spanish missionaries or doctrinaires in the region, Fr.Juan<br />
de Torres and Fr. Gabriel Sanchez, first settled in Baclayon in 1595. Shortly after<br />
their arrival, a visita was erected on the spot.</p>
<p>Although Baclayon was the first seat of the Spanish Jesuit missionaries, fear<br />
of Moro mauraders soon forced them to move their headquarters more inland, to Loboc.<br />
Only in 1717, Baclayon became a parish, and construction of a new church commenced.<br />
Some 200 native forced laborers constructed the church from coral stones, which<br />
they took from the sea, cut into square blocks, and piled on to each other. They<br />
used bamboo to move and lift the stones in position, and used the white of a million<br />
eggs as to cement them together. The current building was completed in 1727. The<br />
church obtained a large bell in 1835. In the Baclayon church is a dungeon, which<br />
was used to punish natives who violated the rules of the Roman Catholic church.</p>
<p>Next to the church is the old convent, which also houses a small museum with<br />
centuries-old religious relics, artifacts and other antiquities, dating back to<br />
the 16th century. Included in the collection are an ivory statue of the crucified<br />
Christ looking towards heaven; a statue of the Blessed Virgin, said to be presented<br />
by Queen Catherine of Aragon; relics of St. Ignatius of Loyola, old gold embroidered<br />
ecclesiastical vestments, books with carabao skin covers, and librettos of church<br />
music written in Latin on sheep skins. Here you can also find the cuadro paintings<br />
made by the Filipino painter Liberato Gatchalian in 1859.</p>
