Where is the Actual Blood Compact Site?
For a very long time, Tagbilaran City was believed to be the site where the Blood Compact was held. Findings in 2005 showed that the site was in fact located in a different place, around 17 kilometers from where it was believed to have been held for hundreds of years. In 2005, the National Historical Institute officially declared in Resolution 4, series of 2005 that the exact location of the blood compact site is in Loay, Bohol (not Tagbilaran City) and March 25, 1565 as the exact date when the blood compact was held/

What is the Blood Compact?
The marker tells us what the Blood Compact is all about. I translated it into English as shown in the caption.
At the left is the marker, at the center is the platform where the blood compact was held, and at the back of the platform is the well. |
The site is by the roadside. |
The well is at the back of the platform |
Sikatuna's Well:
This is "the well between the rivers" mentioned in the latest document. It was where the soldier's of Legazpi fetched water. It was built around 1200 AD and is 20 meters deep |
This is the replica of houses seen by the Spaniards built near the bay where the flagship San Pedro docked. |
