Mr Sigbin, kanang Lamanok, is that a barrio in Anda?

It's an island.  And the name of a cave in the island that, to this day, is still being visited by many a tambalan.

Very nice! Mang laag unya ta didto.

Sure, Ging.

Why it's called Lamanok?

it's a paradise....

Ging, I only have conjectures as answers for now.  It may be a portmanteau of the Spanish word "la" and the Visayan word "manok."  It is probable that chickens were associated with the island since it could have been the customary offering to the anitos.  However, "Lamanok" may also have been a proper name in the past.  I have to stress that it is customarily spelled "Lamanoc."  It is only out of personal preference that I use "k" for "c".

That's what I thought, being associated with chicken. Not with anitos, but on it's form or how it looks like.

I was wrong then. Thanks, Sigbin.

the other side of lamanok point:



the first time i saw it, it was wow! a paradise. why go to palawan when you can have it here in bohol?




God is so good to create this marvelous place.



t's nature bliss when i visited the rock painting in anda. rock painting is an obra maestranof the ancient people in anda who lived during the stone age.

Speaking of stone age, there must be some presence of "un-natural" power source.

Very nice Photos El Mundo.  Thank you! Are you the one with the hat?

I'd have to agree that the place is awesome and well, creepy~

I've been to the place, summer of this year, backpacking with a dirtbike for little comfort--I was planning to traverse the Anda-Candijay road, at the peninsula's tip, but changed my mind when I reached the forested part, way past Lamanoc. Dang! It scared the wits out of me. Only later was I told that it is rebel-infested. Speaking of goin' banana's and almost burst the bubble. Phewww!

In a way it may be creepy.  I'd just like to think that it's sacred ground, hallowed by tradition and the faith of our forefathers.  Wa hinuon ko kahibaw og naa bay wa nag-sapatos didto. It seemed quite peaceful when we went there.

Oh, I see. I discovered karon lang that it's a sacred ground. At any rate, I should visit the place again, when the schedule this break is favorable.

Thanks for the info

tsk..tsk..tsk..research more pepz..hmmmnnn

according to the olds...Lamanok...ky sa una kono permi ka lamaton dha,
u know what lamat is?? molabay ka dha kono mananghid og maghatag jud
og pahinungod nila ky kon wla kay sign of respect sa mga "jatot"(they called it)
na na nah dili naka katu-od sa imong padulngan ug what we say "gimino"
or mino-on ka

the cave is...,katingalahan kono na sa una...anha ang mga "TAmbalan or Tambaan"
mag meditate ug Biernes Santo..ug maghimo sa ilang mga tambal with lana(sa lubi)


Lamanok is still a part of Badiang(one of Anda-bario)
lamanoc is somewhat between Badiang and Japanas...

anha akong lolo manginhas sa una...most oftenly "manuo-manulo" with petromaxs bah...

nakaligo nako diha ug nakakuyog pod ug panginhas sa gamay pako,
dli mi permi tugtan dha ky lisod man na anha-on...,
magsakay jud kag baroto aron ka makatabok..,unja hadlok pod nga
dli naka kauli ky "mino-on"lagi daw...sa una kon naay mawala or dli kauli daw
ky magdala sila manok-ugis ihalad aron kadtong gimino or gilamat ibalik...

superstitious belief??guni2x?? i dont know...storytelling raman sa mga olds namo. amen.

Thanks, Blue Angel.

We should see the caves at the Lamanoc Point! at one time, there were mandibles laid out in an interesting fashion inside a cave off the point. and there were wooden coffins inserted in the crevices of the cave.

That was a looooong time ago.

Oh my God, am that old?
