Loay like the old Bohol towns of Tagbilaran, Loon and Maribijoc is composed of "uptown" and "downtown" sections. The church, convento, and schools are located in Loay's 'uptown',Please click link to read and view photos:

For quite some time, we accepted without much of a thought that Loay, is in reference to an old bridge that is so frail (Loay) or the swaying nipa palms (loay-loay).

Then quite sometime too, i met Lina Sagaral Reyes, who corroborated my theory about such a funny or "steamy" name for a town.

There used to be a big palm tree that was a reference point in Hinawanan, she said. Under the "lubi sa Moros", people would usually sit on hot summers, display their wares under the shades, being the old town.

Old poeple, according to her research called it "Lubi sa Moros"

That big palm tree resembles the one you can find at the side plaza in Dauis, the marvelous tree (data palm) or as the Spaniards would call it, Mariveles.

Lubi sa Moros, in arabic, is Loay. 

Daghan baja piskay nga talan-awon sa Loay..wa may nanumbaling sa unaha..karon, naibog na ang taga laing nasod.. saludo ko sa tanang taga Loay..dako na ug kausaban karon kumpara sa kinse anyos nga nilabay..

Kana lang Sambat Mascarra y Regatta, dugukon gud na tan-aw sa mga taga gawas.. apil pud mga bol-anon nga wa pa makakita sa kalihukan..

salamat ninjong tanan nga nidajig sa jutang natawhan..

Cute. Rather too fanciful for comfort, though.
