Shrine of the Lady of Miraculous Medal
Climb up the more than hundred steps to work your way up to the top if you opt for another sight to see, The Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. But if you choose to take another road, (which takes you directly to Sogod), from Bogo, turn left towards Dakit and you will drive through another Bogo barangay called Guadalupe. Here, you can found a house built on the 10th of April 1937, probably the only one that hasn't been torn down since World War I.
Tugbungan Mangrove Eco-Park and Forest, a vast mangrove eco-reserve. Walking through the beautifully built wooden walkway surrounded by endless mangroves made such a wonderful outdoor experience.
