    My kids has taken his girlfriend to the Philippines,they are on Bohol at the moment,yesterday they took a boat 30-45 minutes away from tagbilaran,some small island with a very healthy population of turtles/pawikan,they were swimming with a number of turtles in around 10 metres of water over a reef,anyone heard of the small island or know its name?Obvious question would be to ask my son but he is unsure if the island has a name,the boatmen called it turtle island.
