Tagbilaran
Tagbilaran, city on Bohol Island, in the Bohol (Mindanao) Sea, Philippines.
Tagbilaran lies along the Bohol Strait and is sheltered by Panglao Island. It is a principal port of the area, with warehouses and distributory outlets, regular interisland service to Cebu and Mindanao islands, and a busy passenger traffic, particularly of emigrants journeying to areas on Mindanao. Access to the shallow harbour was blasted through obstructing coral reefs, and maintenance requires frequent dredging. Tagbilaran retains a rural character and is served by an airport and frequent ferry service from Cebu City. Pop. (2000) 77,700; (2010) 96,792.
