Why Blood Compact Monument (Sandugo) is special ?
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565.

Tips for you
Reviews
It's not just a monument, it's part of our history. It has also an overlooking view of the ocean. There are also souvenir shops nearby as well as vendors selling the famous "rice cake" in a coconut shell. Prices are lower in here so you could buy your "pasalubong" if you will stop in this area. Photographer/s will take a photo of you and give you a copy for a price. You may just ignore them and not the photo.
