A brief recap of Camotes history:
The Camotes Islands are a group of islands that form part of the province of Cebu, in the Philippines. The island group is located east of Cebu Island, southwest of Leyte Island, and north of Bohol Island.
The Camotes is composed of the following four islands and their municipalities:
- Poro: the municipalities of Poro and Tudela.
- Pacijan: the sole municipality is San Francisco.
- Ponson: the sole municipality is Pilar.
- Tulang: is part of the barangay Esperanza, which is part of San Francisco.
The islands of Pacijan and Poro are connected by a paved road called a causeway. Ponson is separated by the Camotes Sea, lying about four kilometers northeast of Poro. Tulang is located off the northern tip of Pacijan.
The Camotes are low-lying islands. There is only one hill on Pacijan and another hill on Poro. These hills are used by a telecommunications company for relay stations. Pacijan has a fresh-water lake around two kilometers in length. Palm trees are the dominant plant on the islands. There are also numerous native varieties of fruit trees and other plants.
