Poro Island has two municipalities which is Poro and Tudela that are both same
located in Poro.
Poro Island is best lesser of
the two main island
of Camotes. It is lacks
of the beaches of Pacijan and there’s nowhere really to stay or eat. Poro has
an historical church which is built in 1849 by the Augustinian fairs. Each cube
of the walls are made of coral stone from the sea and stone roofed with tile. Until
today this church is still the center of the social activities which revolve
around the island.
In the town of Poro they have their own language which is a
Porohanon or the Camotes Visayan spoken. Porohanon is distinguished by the way
of locals substitute the “Y” that sound for “Z” for example, “Maayong Buntang”
in Cebuano it would be changed to “Maazong Buntag” in Porohanon. And Naa diha
in Cebuano, Ara dira in Porohanon.
Poro Island has also an attraction to
offer, the Alta Vista and Mount Three Peaks, is the serene plateau
that has a comfort room, there is also a small tree house and three other open
cottage that make up the Camotes highest region are Elijan, Kaban-kaban and
Kantomaro.
Bulikat Cave
is one of the most visiting places, it is about 6km inland from Tudela and it
is well hidden. This caved is named after the founder Bulikat and this cave
also was used as a shelter from Japanese during the World War II.

caves high in the hills that are approached by a steep and extremely rugged
tail from Tigues village.
