Bulabog Putian National Park

Bulabog Putian National Park is a protected rainforest spanning 854 hectares across two municipalities in Iloilo. The park features limestone mountain formations, numerous caves, and a 40-kilometer trail system that winds through the protected area.

The area played a role in the Philippine Revolution when the 1898 Cry of Lincud event took place in Iloilo. The caves served as hiding places for revolutionary forces during Spanish occupation, and walls still bear inscriptions from that period.

The park marks the location of the Cry of Lincud, a pivotal event that initiated the Philippine Revolution in Iloilo during 1898.

The park is best explored with guided walks where experienced guides show the main routes and provide safety advice. Visitors should bring sturdy shoes, water, and a flashlight for cave exploration.

Maestranza Cave houses around 20,000 fruit bats that emerge in large groups at sunset, creating a dramatic sight. The nearby Guiso Cave hosts 18 different bat species, making the park a remarkable habitat for these animals.
