I have seen Muro-Ami when I was in my junior year in high school. It was a requirement of our Filipino class to watch the film and make a reaction paper. At that time, I was not very interested to watch it. I am into fantasy films and thus a movie like Muro-Ami does not suit my taste for movies. But since it was a requisite for juniors, I did not have any choice but to watch it.

I expected the film to be boring and thought that I would fall asleep while watching it but while the film was rolling, I realized that I was gradually hooked up to it.

Tagbilaran City in Bohol is a significant site in the annals of Philippine history. It is therefore fitting that it celebrates a fiesta that commemorates what is deemed a historical event that occurred on March 16, 1565. On this day, a blood compact took place between Datu Sikatuna and Captain Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. The former is a brave Filipino chieftain while the latter was a Spanish colonizer. Although you might expect animosity to spring up between the two, given their conflicting positions, what occurred was simply the opposite.

Bohol is an island province and one of the popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. It is the 10th largest island in the country blessed with wonderful beaches and resorts, amazing wildlife, enchanting waterfalls, scenic hills and structures that amaze every tourist as they visit the island.

The magnificent Chocolate Hills is the most famous tourist spot in Bohol. It consists of 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped hills spread over the three municipalities with heights ranging from 30 to 50 meters with the largest being 120 meters in height. The hills are covered with green grass that turns brown during dry season.
