The RELATIVES OF DORA THE EXPLORER

Its been a long day with the sun up high in the sky. The weather so good and the place so fresh in our eyes craving for something new. It may be a long road to take but our thirst for new adventure cries in the midst of our minds. And now we shall take our journey....

As we traveled from the city to the place where it literally started, SOGOD, we found a small town full of wonders and natural beauty. The word  " sogod "comes from the place where white sand is STARTING to appear according to Lumads. It is a 3-hour ride from the city. 

The moment we stopped by the heart of Sogod , we were amazed by the fact where their municipal hall is located; on a hill. The municipal hall is big, modernized yet with a vintage touch. Equipped with facilities that can serve the people.

Alongside the road you will find these barangays namely Bawo, from the name of the fish, Poblacion, the center of the whole municipality, Ibabao from the word itself which means uphill, Bagatayam from the words " bagat" and "ayam" which means "meet" and "hunter" Simply put, Bagatayam is the place where hunters meet. Lastly, Barangay Damolog where the roads have shifted into a two-way path where one road leads to Tabuelan and the other one to Borbon.
