Legazpi-Sikatuna Sandugo Site, Bohol (the actual blood compact site)

In 2006, the government of Bohol discovered the actual spot of the Blood Compact of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Rajah Sikatuna in the town of Loay, Bohol. The marker is just a few minutes away from the monument. The area is just a small space with a painting of the “Sandugo” ritual and a marker with the history of the event, so this place isn’t visited as much compared to the monument.

According to Kuya Jojo, our driver/guide, many people here say the actual blood compact site is somewhere near the monument and the marker but can’t pinpoint the exact spot.

These were the only pictures I took with this landmark:

Blood Compact Site/Monument Bohol

To start our Countryside tour, we went to the famous Blood Compact Site. The area has the statue of the leaders having the compact, so expect to have many tourists falling in line just to take a picture with the monument. Overlooking from the place, you can have a beautiful view of Panglao Beach from afar.
