Bohol is one of the most well-known islands in the Philippines, and for good reason. Beyond the famous Chocolate Hills, the island offers waterfalls, white-sand beaches, quiet countryside, limestone caves, and a slower pace of travel that rewards those willing to explore beyond the highlights.

Bohol is deceptively large, and rushing through it risks missing what makes it truly special. A relaxed trip mixing nature, local food, and beaches can easily take a week — or longer if you prefer slow travel.

​We based ourselves in Panglao for four nights, using it as a comfortable hub with easy beach access, good food, and short travel times to many of Bohol’s most popular sights.

In this guide, Moalboal Eco Lodge shares practical tips for visiting Panglao and south Bohol, including the best time to visit, local travel advice, and 21 things to do. Use this guide to build a realistic, enjoyable Bohol itinerary, whether you’re on a short trip or a longer island stay.

Some people believe that food in the Philippines doesn’t have any identity, and that there are no “local Filipino dishes”. They are wrong, or at the very least they are mistaken, because Filipino Food has been dubbed “the next big thing in the Culinary world”.

Colonised by Spain for 333 years, Filipino food draws influences from Spain as well as Asia, and locals know how to put their own spin on a dish.

Pork lovers are in for a treat, as this meat is found in a variety of dishes, and people with a sweet tooth will also not be disappointed.

Without any further ado, Moalboal Eco Lodge share our list of the must-try Filipino Food in Cebu, Philippines.
