Before lunch, you will be going to Sumilon Island. It is home to the country's first marine protected area, which was established in 1974. Its waters are also ideal for snorkeling or diving, and those who are lucky enough may see black-tip sharks swimming in the region.
You will also visit the miraculous Simala Church. The church became famous in 1997 and is frequently filled with visitors who want to offer prayers and wishes to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Before going home, you can try Carcar’s best pork chicharon and buy some souvenir items at the Pasalubong Center.
