The Churches in Dauis activity presents the historic Dauis Church, officially the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, situated on Panglao Island in Bohol. This 18th-century Spanish-era church stands on a hilltop overlooking the sea and features a unique blend of coral stone and wood construction. Visitors can view its centuries-old ceiling frescoes and the miraculous well beneath the sanctuary, which is said to have saved locals from a cholera outbreak.
What to expect
- Guided tour of the church interior lasts approximately 30 minutes, covering the main altar, side chapels, and the painted ceiling panels.
- Access to the underground well inside the church, where visitors can draw water and observe the natural spring that flows beneath the structure.
- Viewing of the original 18th-century baptismal font and the wooden pulpit carved with floral motifs, both preserved in their original positions.
- Observation of the church's defensive watchtower, which also served as a refuge during pirate attacks, visible from the churchyard.
- Suitable for history enthusiasts and religious pilgrims, with a dress code requiring covered shoulders and knees for entry.
- The activity includes a brief historical briefing by a local guide, explaining the church's role in the 1829 Dagohoy rebellion and its survival of the 2013 earthquake.
