Panglao, officially the Municipality of Panglao (Cebuano: Munisipalidad sa Panglao; Tagalog: Bayan ng Panglao), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,839 people.[6]
It is one of two municipalities that make up Panglao Island (the other being Dauis). Panglao is known for its diving locations and tourist resorts.[8]
The name Panglao may have come from its former name Panglawod, meaning "to the open sea",[9] or derived from the word panggaw, referring to a fishing implement used by locals.[10]
Panglao has educational institutions, including the San Agustin Academy (Panglao), Lourdes National High School, the Cristal e-College, and elementary schools located in every barangay (including the Panglao Central Elementary School). It is also home to Bohol–Panglao International Airport that serves as Bohol's primary airport, replacing Tagbilaran Airport in November 2018.[11]
The town of Panglao, Bohol celebrates its fiesta on August 27–28, to honor the town patron San Agustin.[12]
