CAPITANCILLO ISLET
Capitancillo is a small uninhabited island northeast of Cebu Island in the Visayan Sea. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southeast of Tabogon and Bogo Island and just outside Bogo Bay, near Sea Turtle Resort Tabgon. Three areas around the island (the Ormoc Shoal, the Nuñez Shoal, and the southwest wall of Capitancillo) are recognized dive sites. Polambato Port, Nailon Wharf, Marangog Cove, and Odlot Hideaway all serve as jumping-off points to the island from Bogo, and the trip takes anywhere from fifteen to forty-five minutes. There are no stores or accommodations available on the island.[2]
Legends surrounding the island state that Capitancillo was named after Captain Basillo, the captain of a Spanish trading vessel. According to the legends, Captain Basillo insulted a local datu, named Bugtopasan. Bugtopasan cursed Captain Basillo and put a spell on him, transforming the Captain's galleon into the island.[3]
