Siquijor /sɪkɪˈhɔː/ (Cebuano: Lalawigan sa Siquijor, Filipino: Lalawigan ng Siquijor) is a fifth income class island province of the Philippines located in the Central Visayas region. Its capital is the municipality also named Siquijor. To the northwest of Siquijor are Cebu and Negros, to the northeast is Bohol and to the south, across the Bohol Sea, is Mindanao. 

Siquijor is the third smallest province in the country, in terms of population as well as land area (after Camiguin and Batanes). For a time it was part of Negros Oriental.
During the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines, the Spaniards called the island Island of Fire (Spanish: Isla del Fuego). Siquijor is commonly associated with mystic traditions that the island's growing tourism industry capitalizes on.

Majestic Balete tree in Aurora

One of the spots you shouldn't miss during your stay in Baler is the 600 year old tree and was recognized as the Asia's Largest balete tree. The said tree is located at Maria Aurora, Aurora. The tree was exaggeratedly huge with many branches and roots to the point that you can already go inside. At first i am a little scared to enter because i might end up into a different dimension so it's kinda like a warp zone for me,(funny huh?) but i don't want to spoil the moment and i did it, i was able to get inside not only once but twice!
