Welcome to the tourists haven of the north, Daanbantayan (Kandaya). It is with pride that I invite you come and visit our place - a progressive town, for leisure.

Daanbantayan is now known globally because of our pristine powder-like white sandy beaches – one of which is the famous Malapascua Island. With its vast and rich marine resources, there are also dive sites that offer unique marine life and beauty. It is only in Daanbantayan where one sees big Manta Rays and the Thresher Shark (the one and only kind in the world).

As a tourist destination, Daanbantayan is also keen on staging Haladaya Festival every year as an added attraction to tourist and balikbayans from all over the world who come to visit the place. For the Daanbantayanons out there, see the difference of what our town before and today and more so in the future!

The guarantee of truth is for you to come and explore-and always feel very welcome.

Mayor Sun. J. Shimura
