Hello and have a great day to all!! 😊
Today i just want to share to you guys a very few details about this kind of monkey called Macaques
Several years ago when we're there in Loon Bohol to visit the very known monkeys in Cantomucad Loon Bohol, and we saw many macaques in there. IMG_20180116_154658.jpg
So the Loon Macaques found in Cantomucad, Loon, Bohol is now one of the tourist attractions the Bohol government is heavily promoting. Because it is not usually included in a countryside tour package, the macaques in Loon are not as popular as the Chocolate hills, Baclayon church and Loboc River. Macaques are short-tailed monkeys of rocky regions such as Asia and Africa. In the Philippines, there are many of these monkeys in the wild but some people are capturing them and making them as pets at home.

The mangrove monkey are found in the inner part of Bohol but it is only in Cantomucad where people do not intimidate these macaques as long as they are given foods ti eat.
Cantomucad is one of the baranggays of Loon that is reffere to as the "ready-to-wear capital" of Bohol. Its rtw as well as those produced in adjacent pondol, lorded it over in retail stores in many business center in the Visayas and Mindanao. Despite the advent of the "ukay-ukay", the local garments manufacturing has survived through the years.
