Mambajao, Camiguin, Philippines
I have been slack in putting more information on here, but just didn’t feel like doing it, now 
that hubby has complain; I have been doing a lot of research and bookmarked some interesting sites. In one of those bookmarks, I came across this article regarding Mambajao with great images! As you all know, my family came from Mambajao, (Reyes); and in looking at those images that it has changed alot! Especially one of the image of Cabua-an!! WOW…I’ve not been back since I was a teenager and the whole town is beautiful! Here is the article that I found and hope you enjoy reading them as I love finding things about my home place.
Mambajao is the capital of the province of Camiguin. The land area of this municipality is 89 square kilometers which is 37.4 percent of the total land area of Camiguin and it is also the biggest among Camiguin’s five municipalities. It is a busy little town from early morning to night and is the place where you will find most of what you will need when in Camiguin. The town was established in 1855 and grew quickly to be the busiest part of northern Mindanao in the early 1900s…READ MORE

Comments on those photos as in order from the top left – St Nicholas Church, is still the same church that the family still goes to and I am not sure if Fatima is still there (the school I went to until I was 10 yrs old); photo to the top right – Cabua-an – I remember this as a family get together or someone having a party at the family beach house – i remember as a child having tons of fun and my mom use to scream at me to get out of the water! I love the beach to this day! And the last photo bottom left is the Old Wharf that usually played at but recollection was when I was there last…walking with my cousin its beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean and its more beautiful now. Thank you Mr. Laputt for putting some of the images, but there is a house that you took, that looks like the house I grew up in, but the surroundings are so different, I might have to go and have a visit soon!
