Hi istoryans. Share lang ko sa photos taken today here in Bogo, Cebu.

We live right by the sea here in Gairan so the main livelihood of people here is fishing, so daghan jud me silingan mangingisda. My uncle seen our neighbor holding a pawikan.. we asked how much it was P200 ra! So we hurriedly payed for it, took some pictures, and drove about 15 min to Nailon pantalan where the waters are deeper and waters are more open (unlike dre atbang amo house it's shallow and daghan boats).

It was kinda weak in the car as we arrived at the pantalan, we carried the basin he was in and gently put it in the water and he crawled out of it.... and as soon as he touched the sea water, he sped like a torpedo!!! it was really a cool thing to witness. Thanks to my papa boy and kuya arch for helping.
