History of Dauis

Dauis is one of the two municipalities comprising Panglao Island, the other being Panglao. It is a
th
4 class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines and has a population of 36,139 people
according to the 2007 census occupying a land mass of 4,288 hectares. The inhabitants of the town
speak the Visayan (Bol-anon) language yet are also proficient in the English and Tagalog languages.
Panglao Island is situated on the southwestern tip of Bohol and is connected to mainland Bohol by two
causeways. One causeway connects to Panglao town while the other causeway connects Dauis to
barangay Mansasa of mainland Bohol, thru the Gov. Jacinto Borja Bridge. The town of Dauis is politically
subdivided into 12 barangays: Biking, Bingag, San Isidro (Canlongon), Catarman, Dao, Mayacabac,
Poblacion, Songculan, Tabalong, Tinago, Totolan and Mariveles.

Dauis: Going There and Around

The approximate distance of municipal center to Tagbilaran City is 7.4 kilometers or a travel of about 10
minutes. The town’s main roads are near to the urban road network of Tagbilaran City. The town of
Dauis is traversed by the national, provincial, municipal and barangay road network. There are 2 existing
bridges in Dauis; the Songculan Riverside Bridge, which is made of timber and the Dauis Bridge made of
reinforced concrete. Primary modes of transportation are buses and tricycles. There is no wharf. Island
population is too dependent on Tagbilaran City port facilities.

Dauis is one of the oldest municipalities of Bohol and was inhabited in prehispanic times as shown by
early Chinese artifacts retrieved in the area in the 1970’s. However, no record of its establishment exists
because all municipal records were burned down during World War II. Church records state though that
the parish was established in 1697, so the founding of the town may be near that period.
The inhabitants of Dauis built their houses of very strong materials, mostly of molave, and whitewashed
with lime during the Spanish regime. The people were continually harassed by Muslims who come and
attack the town and capture people for ransom or for the slave market. The stone watchtower, whose
ruins stand near the present church and bearing the date 1774, was built to alert the town of the
coming marauders. During World War II, Dauis bore the brunt of the bombing, shelling and strafing, first
from the Japanese and later from the Americans. When the resistance movement was started in
September 1942, most of the able-bodied men of the town joined the cause and the civilians supported
them with cash, food and other means.
