58 Bakhawan

I’m staying in Bakhawan, a tiny village in Daanbantayan in the far north of Cebu Island.

The village consists of 3 streets and probably a couple of unoffical paths into the backcountry that you will never see on any maps. Right on the beachfront is a church, a community center and a roofed basketball court. The Philippines is undeniably of spanish influence especially compared to Malaysia or Vietnam.

A 10 minute tricycle ride brings you to the Poblacion(the town of Daanbantayan) where the bus terminal and a small roofed wet market is. And a Jollibee.
