During our stay in Siquijor it was cloudy and rainy, so we did not bother having sun burns. We enjoy swimming in the beach of Salagdoong in Maria and the Seawall in Banban. We toured around the Island and saw the improvements. We went to Lazi for a festival and visited five houses of our distant relatives and ate on a buffet. We went to TRIAD, a bar and restorant on top of a mountain which sits on the boarders of three municipalities of the island (Siquijor, Larena and E. Villanueva). The white spherical roofing of the bar is very noticable in Larena, overlooking on the bay of Larena and Siquijor and seeing the islands of Cebu, Negros and Bohol. The oldest house in Siquijor was built in 1890's and it is still standing. The local authoirities of the island have made several restoration and repair of the house.

Siquijor is surounded by white sand and rocky coarals, most part of the coast line are mangroves. Siquijor have improved its ecological preservation. They have made several protected marine sanctuaries and mangrove nursery.

Their are so much to see in Siquijor- Camp Bandilaan, new discovered cave, monkey's place, marine sanctuaries, waterfalls and more.
