History of Bohol
The history of Bohol goes back way before the colonial period. In fact, based on artifacts and excavations that have been recovered, the original Boholanos had a culture of their own some three centuries before the Spaniards came.
From the evidence that has so far been gathered by archaeologists and historians, the original inhabitants were descended from the Pintados, or tattooed ones, some of the original tribes to live in the area. Apparently they had their own writing using bamboo barks, and incorporated design in their belongings
