Punta Nailon

BARANGAY NAILON is the tipmost Barangay  to the east of Bogo City.

How this Barangay got its name invites no accepted legend and speaks of no reliable source.

However, looking closely at the early map made of Cebu you will notice that this Barangay is named NAILONG POINT and you will, furthermore, notice that this very small point in the map is shaped like a nose or shaped into a nose which is described in Cebuano as “nailing” or “napormag-ilong”. Being identified so in the map, the place was necessarily called “NAILONG” and probably because it was a bit embarrassing to identify their place with one human organ of sense, the residents slowly and determinedly tried to eliminate the last letter to have the present name “NAILON”. Until today, however, the place is still named Nailong Point in the map.

Here the Punta or Nailon Point is the tip facing the sea where you can either follow the fishermen's steps opposite down the iconic rock of Nailon or use the Wharf (Pantalan) to enjoy the Sea. 
 

The geocache is the first in northern Cebu and can be found in between the two. The owner has given permission, so don't worry, but beware of curious children from the neighborhood. There is enough space for Travelbugs, Geocoins and other 'travelers' that will enjoy good service here.

Do not use any tools or force to open and put everything back in place as you found it. Please do not forget to sign the Logbook which is inside the he geocache box! Logs without physical stamp or Log in the Logbook may be deleted without further notice!
