BORACAY

The first settlers of Boracay in Panay are called Negritos or Atis. Panay are then
called “Land of the Atis”  These Negritos are the indeginuous people of the
Philippines and they farmed and fished in Boracay for centuries.
During the 1940s and 1950s, the Boracaynons or the people of oracay, depended
largely on fishing and coconut plantation. Copra, the dried meat of coconut, was
traded to businessmen from Aklan in exchange for rice and other goods and
commodities.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Boracay became popular among families from Panay.
When a German writer published a book about the Philippines in 1978,
describingboracay history and the beautiful island in details, the island was
introduced to the world. This mark the beginning of tourist “boom” with tourist. 
Boracay’s contribution to the tourism industry and the economy as a whole should
not be ignored. The tourism industry in 2017 was the third-biggest contributor
to the country’s gross domestic product, with 20 percent of the total income
generated by the sector coming from Boracay.

Boundaries- 1,260 hills but there may be as many as 1,776
Noong unang panahon, ang kinaroroonan ng Chocolate Hills sa Bohol ay
isang malawak na kapatagan. Tuwing tag-ulan, maputik ang buong lupain
pero pagkatapos noon ay nagiging berde dahil sa damong tumutubo roon.
Kapag tag-init naman, ang lupa ay bitak-bitak.
sang maulang araw, dalawang higante ang dumating sa lupain ng
Bohol. Natakot ang mga tao dahil baka magpang-abot ang dalawa at mag-
away. Kaya naman, lumikas sila pansamantala.
Sa kasamaang palad, nag-abot nga ang dalawa at nag-away. Nagbabangayan
sila kung sino ang dapat na may-ari ng pulo. Hanggang ang isa sa kanila ay
napikon. Dumakot ito ng putik at ibinato nito. Gumanti naman ang isa.
Nagpatuloy ang dalawa sa pagbatuhan hanggang ang isang higante ay
napuruhan nito ang kalaban. Natumba ang isa at nawalan ng malay. Dahil
masama ang pagkakabagsak nito, namatay ito.
Sa tuwa ng nagwagi, talon ito ng talon hanggang sa bigla niyang naramdaman
ang paninikip ng kanyang paghinga. Sa kalaunan, bumagsak din ito sa
putikan.
Makalipas ang ilang linggo, nagbalik ang mga tao sa nayong iyon. Namangha
sila sa nakita. Mga burol na nagkumpol-kumpol sa kapatagang iyon.
Naging bansag ang Chocolate Hills dahil sa mala-tsokolateng kulay ng mga
burol sa tuwing tag-tuyot. Mula noon, naging masagana ang nayon dahil
nagagawa nilang tamnan ang mga burol.

Payapa ang gabi noon,nagningningan ang mga talasa langit. Nagsisislbing ilaw ang
liwanag sa buwan sa kapaligiran. Isang binata't dalaga ang nagpapalamig sa simoy
ng hangin sa gabi. Nagawian na nilang mamangka tuwing kabilugan ng buwan.
Napagkasyahan ng magkasintahan na mamangka sa ilog. Dayuhang Kastila ang
nasabing binata at mayuming dalagang Pilipina ang isa. Magiliw na nanonood sa
kumikinang na tala ang dalaga habang sumasagwan ang binata.

Masayang nagkukwentuhan ang dalawa sa gitna ng gabi na pumalaot sa ilog.

Ngunit may napansin ang dalaga. Sa gitna ng dilim ay may magandang bulaklak
ang nakita ang dalaga na nakalutang sa tubig. Agad niya itong inabot. Subalit sa
pag-bot niyang iyon, ang bangkang kanilang sinasakyan ay nawala sa balance at
nahulog ang binata. Sa di inaasahan, ang binata ay hindi marunong lumangoy. Sa
bawat paglutang ng binata mula sa pagkalubog , tinatawag niya si Paz na tulungan
siyang makaahon.

"Paz sigueme! Paz, sigueme!" Ang salitang ito ay Kastila na ang ibig sabihin ay
sagipin mo ako. Sa kasawiang palad, hindi natulungan ng dalaga ang binata. Ang
huling salitang nabanggit ng binata ay "Paz sig!" Hindi na muling lumutang ang
binata at tuluyan na itong nalunod. Dahil sa pangyayaring ito ang ilog ay tinawag
nang "Pasig" o Ilog Pasig.
