Bohol Road Trip Part 2

The Bohol Road Trip Continues...
 
My second day in Bohol was full packed. We started early in the morning and visited the famous Bohol Landmark; the Sandugo Monument. The first peace treaty made by the Philippines with a foreigner was held in Bohol, between Datu Sikatuna & Miguel Lopez de Legazpi of Spain through a blood compact. Every year Bohol celebrates the Sandugo Festival to commemorate this event. After a short stop in the monument we proceeded to Bacleon Church-one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. The convent annex to the church was made into a school & a museum. The museum contains rare religios relics with gold accents & precious stones.

Along the way we noticed another Sandugo Site. It is believed that this is the actual site where the blood compact happened because of the presence of a well found in the area as described in some historical accounts. We were made to wear some costumes and took some pictures before leaving for the Tarsier Sanctuary where we will meet this fist-size primate. After some picture taking with the Tarsier we passed by Loboc; famous for its River and Children’s Choir and the Man-Made Forest to get to Carmen to see the Chocolate Hills. Though the hills are spread out in other towns of Bohol they are mostly concentrated in Carmen. Almost uniform in size & shapes, the Chocolate Hills are trully a natural wonder. My 2nd day Road Trip ended in Punta Cruz where one can find a triangular watch tower oversees the seas South of Bohol and gives an excellent view of the neighboring islands of Bohol.

Bohol Road Trip Part 1

Bohol is one of my dream destinations. I was always fascinated by this charming island in the Visayas. It was divine intervention that my professor in my masteral studies assigned me to write about and design a catalogue for  Wee-Wee Seloterio’s Solo Exhibit in CCP. Ate Wee as I call her is an artist based in Bohol. She had been inviting me to visit their place and finally in 2009, I was able to fulfill one of my dream destinations.

Ate Wee along with her family hosted me in Tagbilaran and toured me around the island, road trip style. Riding in their 4x4 SUV, we went from one tourist destination to another. Our first stop was the Dauis Church. The architecture was gothic as characterized by pointed towers and windows. What’s fascinating about this church is the fresh water spring inside, being near the sea, it is unusual to have such. People say, this water has miraculous power. Afterwhich, we went to the Hinagdanan Cave, where one can see an small underground lagoon.
Our next stop was the Bohol Bee Farm. Nestled in lush forest, it was amazing to see this resort at the cliff with the view of the wide sea. Serving organic salads and other dishes, Bohol Bee Farm is a beautiful place for honymooners-private, quiet & secluded.

Our last stop for that day was the Panglao Islands. It’s clear blue water and powdery white sand are the perfect ways to end my first day of Road Trip in Bohol.

Caricature 101

The Digital Caricature Workshop was held last September 29, 2012 with Jamie Dizon as instructor and attended by 3 students: Lash, Mye & Carlo. The first part of the workshop was a step by step guide in illustrating digital caricatures. Jamie did an actual demonstration showing each step in transforming the portrait of Rachel Weisz into a caricature. She started doing the face, then the body and lastly fitting the illustration into a background for better presentation. The second part of the workshop was the project time wherein each student has to create their own digital caricatures with the guidance of the instructor. The workshop ended with a simple recognition rites, awarding the students with certificates & a class picture as a souvenir.
