Old Church Ruins | Camigiun



Old Church Ruins
Sited in Bonbon, Catarman, Camiguin

May 13, 1871
6:00PM

Cotta Bato, the capital of Camiguin Island was a quiet and attractive town verdant in its natural wonders. Its peaceful shores provided strolling grounds for inhabitants as they basked under a gracious moonlight.Suddenly....
Tranquility came to a halt as a sub-terranean rumbling sowed indescribable terror. Hundreds of houses and the churches crumbled into pieces, the ground rolled and broke into deep crevices with horrifying earthquake served only as a prelude in the destructive climax as cataclysm never witnessed before Mt. Volcano gave out its fiercest and most violent outbreak.
8:20PM
Cotta Bato was but a dreadful olle of ruins. The single volcanic eruption buried a beautiful town into obscurity.
Hundreds of lives were lost while the survivors sought refuge in the open country that gave them hope for tomorrow.

Enigma Tree House Ecolodge | Camiguin


Located in Barangay Balbagon, Mambajao.



When we arrived in Laguindingan Airport, we met Ms. Tanya who happens to be a very good friend of the owner, Ms Ros. Unfortunately when we arrived in Enigmata Lodge, Ms Ros in Manila and we were not able to extend the regards of her friend and we were quite worried because it was almost dark when we arrived at the place and thought of not being entertained and allowed to go inside and the owner was not there too,only the care taker. In our surprise, we were granted to explore the whole masterpiece without any cost at all.  The whole tree house is made of Acacia tree. Anywhere your eyes lead you, you will see a lot or masterpiece and work of art that will end up you saying "unbelievably amazing".
