Chocolate Hills of Bohol, Philippines
The landscape of Bohol is dotted by an estimated 1,776 cone-shaped hills famously known as the Chocolate Hills. This UNESCO World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of the World Nominee is the pride of the province. They look like giant ant hills and remind us of little balls a child might have made on a beach. They are very uniform in shape and are of similar sizes, mostly between 30 and 50 meters high. They are covered with green grass that turn chocolate brown in dry season, which give them the name.

This small haplorrhine (a specie related to apes and monkeys) measures 4 to 6 inches in height and with a tail twice its body length. These nocturnal creatures are now endangered but local and national government agencies have taken action to create a natural sanctuary for these species.
Sandugo and Sandugo Festival
The blood compact or sandugo was done on March 15, 1565 between Datu Sikatuna and Spanish Conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. The event is considered as the first peace treaty between Spaniards and the native settlers of the Philippine Islands. Every year, the Boholanos celebrate this momentous event through the Sandugo Festival.
