Barangay Bolod

Barangay Bolod is a fourth municipal income class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. It is one of two municipalities that make up Panglao Island (the other being Dauis), and its territory also includes the three smaller islands of Balicasag, Gak‑ang, and Pontod (or Pungtud, also known as Virgin Island). Panglao is known for its diving locations and tourist resorts.

Origin

The name Panglao may have come from its former name Panglawod, meaning "to the open sea", or derived from the word panggaw, referring to a fishing implement used by locals.
