This blood compact site in Tagbilaran City commemorates the blood compact(Sandugo) that Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legazpi had with then Bohol chieftain Datu Sikatuna(King Katuna?) on March 16, 1565. It was considered the first international treaty of friendship between two people of different races according to a Wikipedia article.
Some dispute the real location where the ceremony took place. While this Cebu travel blog author was in Bohol, he found a marker that read: "Welcome to Loay, the real blood compact site". It could be possible, however, that a blood compact ceremony did happen in Loay, between Legazpi and another Boholano chieftain, Gala.
