The waters of Cabilao island, off Loon is among
Bohol's best dive sites. And its romblon mats, bags and accessories are world
class. An island that is accordingly umbrella shaped, Cabilao has also some
places worth exploring. Take for example its Green Footprint Lagoon, a small
lagoon with probably the largest concentration of lato, a type oe edible
seaweeds. Then there is the island lake, which is a paradise for migratory
birds down on its replenishment stop onwards to their winter migration south of
the globe. An old baluarte now acts as a tarde museum where the seashells which
are commenly found here are displayed, and so are the traditional fishing gears
of the region. Finally, with romblon mat weaving a high grossing alternative
livelihood, witness how these palms are transformed into strips, dyed and then
wove to create that unmistakable pattern in your bags. The island food is
superb. And so is teh dessert: breadfruit cooked in sugar and coconut milk you
would swear, if it was not breadfruit, it should be cassava. #JICA
