Camiguin: What You Need to Know

Camiguin is a pear-shaped island lying on the Bohol sea, some 54 km southeast of Bohol. Presently, it is 248 square kilometers, only slightly bigger than the smallest province in the country which is Batanes (219 square kilometers). Truth be told, Camiguin used to be much smaller until Mt. Bulkang Daan (Old Volcano) erupted in 1948, spitting out land and lava that eventually cooled to become an extension of the island.

White Island in Camiguin was one of our stops at the media tour organized by the Philippine Tourism Board. For four days, I toured Camiguin, Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro along with other writers, bloggers and photographers. It was a wonderful way to spend the week. 

Will be posting stories and photos soon, about our Northern Mindanao adventure.
