Dauis, a historic municipality in Bohol, unveils its ancient past through the discovery of Chinese artifacts in the 1970s. Despite World War Two erasing town records, church archives trace back to the parish’s establishment in 1697. The enduring stone watchtower, built in 1774, silently narrates Dauis’ history.
Witnessing Spanish influence, the 18th-century bridge from Dauis’ Poblacion to Mansasa, Tagbilaran, still connects the islands. Another bridge, ‘the causeway,’ near Tagbilaran City’s old City Hall, extends to Totolan and Panglao Beach resort, 17 kilometers away.
In 1900, a Spanish leader oversaw the construction of a deep well in Poblacion, now below the church altar. Local labor, using bolos and pulleys, revealed a 30-fathom, three-meter diameter well, showcasing the community’s resilience and dedication to its history.
