Siquijor




The Cotabato delegates after the convention in Dumaguete went on a side trip to Siquijor. We took the 1 hour supercat boat ride to the exotic island.
Siquijor if you must know is known for its infamous barangs (black witchcraft) and albularyos or magagamot. The people in the island mostly observed or practiced some kind of local alternative healing and/ or vodoo practices. Many has claimed a high level of effectiveness though. Contradictory to such beliefs, the local folks are also very religious. These days, the place has found a good claim on it's white beaches, resorts and exotic-ness. Many foreigners have set foot on the shore, married local girls and invested on its potentials.
I took a few pictures...but I was not able to take the breathtaking sky view from the mountain top for my phone battery was running low. I like to go back to Dumaguete and Siquijor again if given another opportunity.........next year maybe?.....
