Another landmark with a leculiar name is the "sarok". It is the rotunda as you enter kalibo from eithe osmeña ave (from iloilo) and quezon ave (from new washington). Sarok is the local name for salakot, where a giant one is at the top of the spire.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469086766906398437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280129939035369099.post-46508468809517455732013-07-03T09:04:00.163+08:002013-07-03T09:04:00.163+08:00Wow!

"hello" as you enter the poblacion and "goodbye" as you leave town... you are from kalibo if you call that structure "aloha" across Kalibo Pilot Elementary School .... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
