Its beads are made from magcono (iron wood), which is native to the mountains of Davao Oriental and Surigao del Sur.

Unwind in Kaputian Beach Park's laid-back vibe. Dotted with coconut trees and blessed with fine sand and clear waters, it is one of the Samal Island's most popular and accessible beach resorts.

See Samal Island from atop its highest peak, Mount Puting Bato. Its peak is easily accessible even for beginner hikers, who may take the Tayapoc Trail.
