<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thankfully, we arrived at Ormoc safe and sound after 3 hours of travel. We left Cebu at around 1:45 PM and arrived in Ormoc at 4:45 PM. It was late afternoon so the lighting of our pics are not that bright anymore. Here below are photos of Ormoc Port and the nearby terminal for buses and vans that ply to different town destinations. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last August 23, we went to Leyte to attend the burial of a cousin. Apple was a victim in a hit-and-run accident in Sweden, and on her 33rd birthday last August 24 - she was going home for the last time... she was buried in the cemetery where most of our dearly departed were laid to rest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The weather was not good that week, and we were not even sure we could pull it through, since the ticket booths of all ferries going to Leyte and Bohol were all jam-packed with people who were not able to go home that week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Luckily we were able to get a ticket with Ocean Jet plying Cebu-Ormoc route. From Ormoc we will take another bus to Baybay, then Baybay to Plaridel - Nanay's hometown.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pier 1 Terminal is big and spacious and clean. Their restrooms are well maintained too. And I am happy about that because it says a lot about us to the tourists visiting our islands. There are also small canteens in case we get a little hungry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We chose to take the <b><a href="http://www.supercat.com.ph/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Super Cat Fast Ferry</span></a></b> in going back to Cebu. They had some kind of promo, and it is cheaper then Ocean Jet. I like it better also because it was a bit larger than Ocean Jet. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I was more comfortable with this ride compared to when I was going to Bohol via Ocean Jet. But our seat mates said, yes, Super Cat is good when the sea is calm but it can not withstand choppy waters or big waves. Thank God, it was a beautiful sunny day when we left Bohol, so the sea was calm and peaceful. We arrived in Cebu safely...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have you ever experienced leaving home and working in a
different place, then you come home for a vacation? That’s what my sister and I felt during our
stay in <b><a href="http://www.amarelaresort.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Amarela</span></a></b>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were no bars no overnight parties, just plain
communing with one self and with nature. But then again, we visited in October
where there were very few visitors. And so it felt like we own the place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But beyond the dreamy landscape and excellent customer
service, there is more to Amarela than meets the eye. The owner Atty. Doy Nunag made sure that the
Bohol culture and heritage can be represented by the resort. Furnishings are
made of intricate carved wood done by local artisans. And because Atty Nunag is
a staunch advocate of environment protection and eco-tourism, Amarela makes use of solar panels, recycle
wastes, and even has its own water treatment facility.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is one I can share – I find the soap and shampoo
container unique and cute because they are made of ceramic. I thought that maybe they are just meant as a
fashion statement. But I've read somewhere that the reason behind why they use ceramic containers is because they don’t want plastic
wrappers for their soap and shampoo, and their containers can be recycled. Very admirable...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have now come to the end of our stay. We have to go back home to Cebu. And even though we are sad to leave but we have wonderful memories to bring with us back home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And to cap that wonderful stay, Amarela provided us with a free shuttle ride to the port. Thank you, Amarela! We hope to come back soon...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Out last stop was Hinagdangan Cave. There is an entrance fee of 25 Php per person, and there are young people acting as Tour Guides. The cave is actually very small, a tour usually just last a minimum of 30 minutes. There is a pool inside, perhaps because the cave act as catch basin for rain water. It does not also overflow according to stories because there is probably an outlet for water going to the sea.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found these 2 old beautiful photographs of Dauis Church before the earthquake and again borrowed them to show how it look before.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For now, this is how it looks while repairs and restoration are going on. At least Dauis Church is not as devastated as Loay and Loboc churches. But the massive repairs will probably take years and will cost a huge amount of money...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My sister and I regretted we were not able to see these churches before they were heavily damaged. Perhaps the next generation will also feel the same way, unless these damaged churches can be fully restored.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wished I could have covered more places in Bohol and see other old churches. But I didn't have much time. I saw this blog <b><a href="http://www.ivanhenares.com/2013/03/bohol-visita-iglesia-heritage-churches.html" target="_blank">Ivan about Town</a>, </b>it covered interiors of the churches I have visited and others that I haven't. It is a good reference.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are now going into the last leg of our day tour, and there are only 2 more stops left namely the Dauis Church and the Hinagdangan Cave. Both are in Panglao where Amarela Resort (where we will be staying) is also located. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Panglao Island is connected to Tagbilaran by this bridge here below...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the Loboc Church visit, it was already half past 1:00 PM. I was not in the mood to take the Loboc River Cruise anymore. Usually tourists take the cruise in time for lunch. We were too late for lunch already. I did not also check if they were available for late lunch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I marveled about how Loboc River is so clean and green. Our tour driver informed us that the Bohol government make sure that people cooperate in maintaining the river clean. The government will impose fines and punishment to people caught littering the river. Because Eco-tourism is big business in Bohol, it is understandable that the government and the people should work hand in hand to protect and preserve one of their important livelihood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think governments of bigger cities should learn something from Bohol. There should be political will to make each and everyone aware of the responsibility of protecting the environment and habitat. The responsibility should not rest only on the government. The government and people should work hand in hand. Discipline should also be imposed to make the errant souls tow in line...</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In big cities where commercial and housing developments are the main priority, we couldn't find vast and green rice fields anymore. Sadly these will eventually give in to so called "progress" one day. Malls, office buildings, and houses will take over - and the green rice fields will disappear... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sadly this is how it looks now. It is painful to look at it and it has been sealed off. If there are plans to reconstruct this church, it would take so much to rebuild it in my opinion. It is severely devastated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From Baclayon it was less than an hour drive to Albuquerque. Our next stop was Santa Monica Church in Albuquerque.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thankfully the Sta. Monica Church in Albuquerque was spared from damages. When I saw it I was awestruck because it is like stepping back in time. My sister said there are also very old churches like this in the southern provinces of Cebu (in Malabuyoc and Oslob) and she wished I saw them too. I think I will have that in my bucket list. But at that moment I was fascinated with the thought that Sta. Monica church has been well preserved through the years...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps the inevitable progress will come here one day. We couldn't stop that. And then it will change the landscape here. There will be commercial establishments and maybe malls. And there will be many of us who will feel very sad at the changes. For people like me, we will fervently hope there will be well meaning people who will fight to preserve monuments of our heritage and culture. We can perhaps accept and understand if damage is done by Mother Nature, but what is unacceptable is - if it is man himself who will create the destruction ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The two photos here below were borrowed to show how Baclayon Church looked before it was damaged by the earthquake. I was not lucky to see it before it was damaged. Thank you for the borrow... the rest are our personal collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below is the diorama we saw in the Museum. Perhaps to show us how it looked before or how it is going to look after the restoration process.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Baclayon Church was the next church we visited after Tagbilaran Cathedral. It is less than an hour drive from Tagbilaran sans traffic. And this is how it looked when we visited it. We could no longer see the front of the church. There was an ongoing restoration process. We were not also able to look inside because it was closed. I am not sure also if the church is open to the public with the restoration going on. We just have to contend ourselves with looking at this side of the church.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here below is the Baclayon Church Musem. No cameras or mobile phones are allowed inside to take pictures. The museum itself is antique because the wooden planks of the floor would creak when we walk around. That would have been beautiful but in my opinion, things are not beautifully arranged nor preserved. The lighting should have been improved because it was dark and difficult to see around. For 50 Php entrance fee, I don't think it was worth it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">St Joseph Cathedral in Tagbilaran was not very much affected by the earthquake that destroyed most of the churches in Bohol. Perhaps because it was refurbished so it became almost new. Or perhaps the earthquake was not quite intense here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It would have been nice to take picture of the interiors of the church, but there was a mass when we were there because it was Sunday. </span></div>
