Panglao is an island in the north Bohol Sea, located in the Central VisayasRegion of the Visayas island group, in the south-central Philippines.
Panglao was known to Chinese, Malay,Siamese and Indonesian traders. In 1803, Spanish explorers came to the shores of Panglao in search of fresh water. At the time a couple of natives on the seashore were making fishing devices called "panggaw". One of the Spaniards asked what the name of the island was. The natives—who thought the visitors were asking what they were making—then replied "panggaw". Hence, from that term, was derived the name Panglao.
