Located in the Central Visayas region, Siquijor is the third smallest province in the Philippines. Legend tells of a “King Kihod” as the source of the island’s name. Old residents also called the island “Katugasan” from the Molave (“tugas”) trees that cover the hill. Another version also tells of a priest who came to the island by sailing and when he went back to Bohol he was asked by the people at the beach where he had been, and he answered “Sequor” which means to follow the waves, and was misheard by them as Siquijor.

Discovered by Esteban Rodriguez and Juan Aguirre of the Legaspi Expedition in 1565, it was known to the Spanish conquistadors as Isla de Fuego or the “Island of Fire” for Siquijor was literally lit by fireflies at night swarming the branches of its molave trees.

Siquijor, the first parish, was established in1783 under the administration of secular clergymen. In the years that followed until 1877, the parishes of Canoan (Larena), Tigbawan (Lazi), Makalipay (San Juan) and Cangmeniac (Maria) were founded by Augustinian and Recollect priests.

From 1854 to 1892, it was administered under the politico-militar province of Bohol. In 1892, it became a part of Negros Oriental and was made its sub-province in 1901. On September 17,1971, Siquijor was created as a province by RA 6396 with Larena as the capital. In 1972 or a year later, the capital was transferred to Siquijor town by Proclamation 1075.

Since the olden times people believe the island to be mysterious because of the presence of folk healers and their practices of spiritualism and up to these days people still come to witness the preparation of the brews and really try the medicinal powers of the herbs, from health problems to the potions for love and favor.

Above all, it’s the Siquijodnon’s welcoming smile and warmth that make every visitor’s stay delightful and unforgettable.
Siquijor Province is comprised of six municipalities namely Siquijor (the island’s capital town), San Juan, Lazi, Maria, Enrique Villanueva and Larena.

Larena One-third of the Philippines' population reside within Metro Manila.
Manila, the country's capital, is the most densely populated city in the world.
Davao City is the biggest city outside the Metro Manila.
Quezon's population is expected to reach four million by 2025 and 2030 census.
The Philippines is an island country in South East Asia, comprising 7,641 islands. The islands, located in the Pacific Ocean, are broadly divided into three principal geographical divisions; Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon.
The metropolitan area comprises 16 cities, including the three most populous cities in the country, namely Quezon, Manila, and Caloocan. Metro Manila is particularly populous because it is the seat of government as well as the country’s cultural, educational, and economic hub. Besides the three cities above Davao and Cebu cities complete the list of the five biggest cities in the Philippines. But, what makes these cities so populated?
Although Quezon City is not the country’s capital, it is the biggest city in the Philippines by population, with about 2.9 million residents. The city was founded by Manuel L Quezon, the Philippines’ second president. It served as the country’s official capital between 1948 and 1976. Although Quezon was only founded in 1939, it has experienced dramatic population growth within a short time. Its population surpassed that of Manila in 1990 and was the first city to pass the 2 million mark. The city’s population is expected to reach 4 million by 2025-2030.

Quezon City is a highly urbanized area and hosts several government offices, including the House of Reps and the seat of the Vice President. Besides, it is also home to some of the largest education institutions in the country, including Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the Philippines Diliman. QC also has several attractions, including Quezon Memorial Circle. Therefore, Quezon City is not only populous because it is highly urbanized, but also because it is an educational, cultural, and entertainment center. #philippines #tanjaycityrocks #filipino #manila #quezon #tanjay #philippine #treadtravels #razzamatazed #travelPH
