This is a monument in Bool, Bohol remembering the 1565 blood compact the Spanish Leagspi and the native Sikatuna, sealing a bond of friendship. They dripped their blood into wine and emptied the cup together.
 |
This was a convenient site for the memorial, the compact actually took place a couple miles away from here. |

In between Bool and Baclayon.

It is supposed to be good luck to honk at this tree while passing it. |
 |
An old Spanish-style house, one of the few remaining. |
 |
The sign expressed the desire for the building to be preserved. I think it is threatened by a widened roadway. |
 |
The Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon, Bohol. Built in 1596, it is reportedly the second oldest stone church in the Philippines.
 |
The church was made of coral that was mined from nearby waters. |
