Danao

Danao is the birthplace of the famous Boholano leader, Francisco Dagohoy. It was the place where he established his independent government. During the Japanese occupation it became a concentration camp for World War II prisoners of war. The town used to be a barrio of Talibon but was turned into a municipality by an Executive Order issued on March 16, 1961 by then Pres. Carlos P. Garcia. It was inaugurated as an independent municipality in July 9, 1961.
