The Bohol Sea is said to be a breeding ground of these mysterious but
beautiful creatures. The island in previous times, served as a watch
station against the intrusion of pirates and enemies of the Spanish
colony as evidenced by the 200-year-old Spanish fort on the northeast
side of the island. Today, 235 families live in the island. The people
used to hunt dolphins, whales, whale sharks and manta rays but these
animals are now fully protected by law in the Philippines. The
attractions on the island that may catch your interest is the ancient
Spanish fort, the Santa Cruz at the chapel's altar, the life within the
marine sanctuary and the white beaches around the island. Pamilacan is a
coral island and fossilized seashells can be seen on the island's rocky
hill. At present, the jaws and bones of marine mammals and whale sharks
still adorn a number of homes of the village. The blue waters
surrounding the island teem with lush and colorful marine life.
