• Methodology

  Our topic is a bit broad and wide in coverage.As we tickle our skills in gathering all data we needed,we were able to learn many things – things that are not provided within the four walls of the classroom.We interviewed many personalities – people of different walks of life.We toured around the island and got all information first hand.We also consulted the internet for some and other information to support our explanation and update whatever it is to be updated.

  Geography: It lies on the southern-west part of the province and next to it is the municipality of Sagay, bounded in the east by the municipalities of Guinsiliban and Mahinog, on the north by the municipality of Mambajao.

  Political History: It is the first major Spanish settlement in the province according to the old Spanish documents (formely called “Katagaman or Katadman”) in 1679. This settlement grew and prospered in what is now called Barangay Bonbon until in 1871, when Mt. Old Vulcan Erupted on May 1, the town was destroyed. What remained of said old town are ruins of the ancient Spanish Church, convent, and bell tower. After the said eruption, the Spanish move their settlement to the present center of the Municipality of Catarman.

  The Relation between our Focus Study to Our Community: Our research study would like to tell everybody that Camiguin is simply a place blessed with natural resources, best place for pro-lifers.

  This study wishes to eliminate the fear of tourists in coming to Camiguin. It also wishes to inform other people that Camiguin is but a sleeping paradise. Thus, increasing the economic stability of the place and somehow, strengthen political relationship as they do their educational tours safely.

• Conclusion

Tiny. Small. Little. Miniature as it is but Camiguin Island does not only offer hospitable and generous people but also numerous dive sites thirsty to be explored and enjoyed.

We are very thankful and blessed that God Almighty gave us, Camiguingnons, a very rich marine life sufficient to sustain life on earth.

• Recomendation

Philippines is known to be a very rich country in terms of natural resources; and so is Camiguin Island. But even if Camiguin is for real rich in marine life, people should not or shall we say, should NEVER abuse its richness because sooner or later, everything will just vanish in due time. If this happens, the richness of these natural resources will deteriorate and be gone. If nobody does something today to preserve any of these species and dive sites, then, we will not see tomorrow a shining star.

It is now the right time to repay back our Mother Nature for all and for everything she had provided us since time began. Let us not wait for it to be gone before preserving and reviving them. Let us act now and get involve – for the love of our Mother Nature and of course, ourselves.
