The History of My Home Town Dauis,Bohol Philippines

Dauis is one of the oldest municipalities of Bohol and was inhabited in prehispanic times as shown by early Chinese artifacts retrieved in the area in the 1970’s.

However, no record of its establishment exists because all municipal records were burned down during World War II. Church records state though that the parish was established in 1697, so the founding of the town may be near that period.

The inhabitants of Dauis built their houses of very strong materials, mostly of molave, and whitewashed with lime during the Spanish regime. The people were continually harassed by Muslims who come and attack the town and capture people for ransom or for the slave market.

The stone watchtower, whose ruins stand near the present church and bearing the date 1774, was built to alert the town of the coming marauders.

During World War II, Dauis bore the brunt of the bombing, shelling and strafing, first from the Japanese and later from the Americans.

When the resistance movement was started in September 1942, most of the able-bodied men of the town joined the cause and the civilians supported them with cash, food and other means.
