Liloan

Liloan is a municipality in Cebu that spreads along the Camotes Sea coast. Fourteen barangays, including Cabadiangan, Calero, Catarman, and Cotcot, form the backbone of local life and administration.

Liloan was established as a parish and municipality in 1845, setting up its administrative system. This foundation allowed the settlement to grow and develop as an organized community.

The Rosquillos Festival happens every May and brings people together with street parades honoring Saint Ferdinand III, while food stalls display treats that have been made locally for generations.

The municipality is best explored by moving along coastal roads that connect the different barangays. Getting around between neighborhoods works well if you ask locals for basic directions.

The name Liloan comes from the word 'lilo', which describes a natural whirlpool that forms at a coastal location called Silot. This water phenomenon is woven into the place's character and how locals understand their land.
