Tagbilaran, Provincial capital city in Bohol, Philippines
Tagbilaran stretches along the southwestern coast of Bohol island with 13 kilometers of shoreline and encompasses 15 distinct administrative districts called barangays.
The settlement transformed into an independent town on February 9, 1742, when Governor Francisco Antonio Calderón de la Barca separated it from neighboring Baclayon.
The Sandugo Festival commemorates the 1565 blood compact between Datu Sikatuna and Miguel López de Legazpi through traditional dances and street performances.
The Bohol-Panglao International Airport, opened in 2018, connects Tagbilaran with major Philippine cities through regular domestic flights.
The city terrain features two prominent elevations: Elley Hill rising 100 meters in the north and Banat-i reaching 145 meters in the south.
