Rajah Sikatuna National Park

This is the sign that greets you as you enter the park. The locals told me that this park no longer receives federal money, and it relies only on a small amount of money from Bohol province and visitors entrance fees. So I guess it's not really a "national" park anymore, and once inside you'll see why. It's basically just terrain. You can walk through the forrest but it is easy to get lost. There is a mountail/hill which has a peak to overlook the area BUT, and this is very important, the observation tower has been destroyed and the overgrowth makes it such that you can't see anything! I did the trek up there (90 minutes all uphill) only to just have to walk back down the other way. Good exercise but no reward.

Even though P100 is not a lot, I really disliked this dual-pricing system.

Overall I'd give the park a miss, unless you have a lot of time in the area.

This was kind of fun.

Loboc Church

Very impressive old church. Gloria Arroyo visited this church the day I was in town. The people said that was her first time ever to Loboc as then 6-year president of the Philippines. Lucky day for me I guess.

I wouldn't recommend making a special trip here, or even going at all if you only have a few days in Bohol (i.e.... more travel advice

I have seen signs like that all over the world. I got 2 African friends to get 4 of us into Kruger Park for less than the price of 2 'non-Africans'!
