Tagbilaran

Tagbilaran is the capital city of the island province of Bohol in the Philippines. With close to 100,000 residents it is the main point of entry to Bohol and serves as the province's political, social and economic center. Besides, it's known as the "City of Friendship" and was recognized as one of the most liveable cities in the Philippines by the Asian Institute of Management in 2005 and 2007.

The city is a start-off point to Bohol province's attractions: the Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, white sandy beaches, dive spots, heritage sites and old stone churches. Home to several hotels, resorts, and restaurants, the city has recently become a venue for national conventions and gatherings.

A hundred years before Spaniards arrived in the Philippines, the settlement which eventually became Tagbilaran was already involved in trading with China and Malaya. Tagbilaran Strait was the location of the Precolonial polity of the Kedatuan of Dapitan. This early settlement had contact with the Spaniards in 1565, when the Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi and the native chieftain Datu Sikatuna pledged peace and cooperation through the famous blood compact.
