My Personal Opinion?
There are TWO Panay Island’s in the Philippines:
[mappress mapid=”35″]
Magellan’s Cross is a Christian cross that Ferdinand Magellan (c1480 – 27 April 1521) ordered to be erected in Cebu on 21 April 1521 after the successful baptism of many natives into Christianity.
Ferdinand Magellan was also known as: Fernao Magalhaes or Fernando Magallanes, and was a Portuguese navigator working for the King of Spain.
The cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino on Magallanes Street, just in front of the city center of Cebu City.
The original cross is reputedly encased inside another wooden cross for protection, as people started chipping it away in the belief that it had miraculous healing powers. This prompted the government officials to encase it in tindalo wood and secured it inside a small chapel. www.hawaii.edu/cps/magellancross.html
Some people, however, believe that the original cross had been destroyed or had disappeared after Magellan’s death, and the cross is a replica that was planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully colonized the Philippines.

Boquete Island, Sto. Nino, is one of the islands in the Puerto Galera area, and is considered to be one of the Philippines’ top windsurfing destinations.

The name of this region, MIMAROPA, is an acronym that combines the names of its provinces: Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.
Some of its islands take some effort to get to, but this contributes to their allure. Virgin forests, secluded beaches, thriving marine life, beautiful waterfalls, magical caves, and warm people will make your trip special.
There’s an enchantment to this region, especially underwater. Above land you’ll find simple towns, delicious seafood, and the quiet, laid-back island life that the people of MIMAROPA have had for centuries.
With its National Parks, World Heritage Sites, protected marine areas and even wild safari parks, the MIMAROPA region is definitely something different. You won’t find big cities, bustling highways, or traffic jams here. You will find rugged roads, palm-fringed beaches, and peace and serenity.
