insects and tree barks. In hushed talks, locals would
share a story or two about folk legends pointing to the
existence of witchcraft and witches in the island. This
peculiar occurrence lends more mystery and magic to
the character that is Siquijor.

roof, while the adjoining convent is also made of stone
rubble. The bell tower stands separately from the church
across the plaza, suggesting that it also served as a
watchtower against raiders from the sea.
It was built in the year 1870 and is made up mostly of corals.
It was intentionally positioned near the pier to give the guests
and travelers a grand Siquijodnon welcome with blessings
and goodwill.
The church has its own bell tower which stands approximately
45 feet high and made up of stone tablets. It serves as a
watch tower to protect and forewarn the villagers from

Cambugahay Falls
Siquijor – Lazi
This beautiful waterfalls is just 2 kilometers outside of Lazi.
It does not have a spectacular drop but the water is so clean
and fresh and the pools so deep that it makes for excellent
swimming.
he Cambugahay Falls are just a short walk from the parking
area – 10 peso fee for cars and 5 pesos for motorbikes.
Cross the road and walk down a series of concrete steps to
the first pool. It is deep enough to dive from the shore. You can
go up two more levels and reach equally beautiful pools but
they do not seem to be as deep.
Weekends get crowded but you can have the place to yourself
on weekdays.
The crystal blue color is really surprising to find this close to
town.
