This represented 2.81% of the total population of Cebu province, or 1.16% of the overall population of the Central Visayas region.

Daanbantayan is the northernmost part of Cebu Province that you could visit without riding a boat. I left the North Cebu Bus Terminal around 3:00 AM (first trip) and I was at Daanbantayan around 6:00 AM. This town is famous as the gateway to Malapascua Island but during my Cebu trip, I’m not into expensive island-hopping adventure.
Daanbantayan is a quiet, seaside town with an old church. Rizal monument is nearby as well as the municipal hall and the public plaza. It’s a beach town but the parts I’ve seen (public beaches) were not enticing.
Here are some of the pictures I took of Daanbantayan.
