Many Thanks
I have to say thank you to a good number of people who helped me sleuth out the locations.
Inday (Jovina Ramo) Josan and Frank Ramo, Cathy and Rommel Montano and not forgetting Cesar Montano.
I also wish to thank the people of Bohol, Philippines who put up with me asking questions, wish more filmes used Bohol as a filming location.
Meeting the Stars
While visiting Bohol, Philippines, we had the opportunity to meet up with Rommel and Cesar Montano.
Cesar is the director and the star of Panaghoy Sa Suba (Call of the River), while Rommel played a background artisit.
These brothers are big names in the Filipino film industry and are natives of Bohol.
These photos were taken at Rommel house, Rommel normally plays a bad guy so as a pose I asked him to strangle me and it nearly worked. Good one mate

While visiting Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines, we got invited to a charity soccer game, which Cesar and Rommel were playing.
We also met up with Jake Cuenca (who's a heart throb in the Philippines).

The filming
The filming took place mainly around the Bohol sea skirting around Panglao Island and Balicasag Island, Bohol, Philippines, hence why this page isn't long.
This area is commonly used for divers as it has a great reef base and the water is so clear.
On our visit to Balicasag Island, the pump boat captain pointed out where the filming had
taken place, he also told us the Shark which you see in the movie was mechanical remote control shark.

The top photos are of the area which was used in the filming.
While on Balicasag Island, we asked the locals about the filming and a lot of them had not watched the film,
so out came the portable dvd player and one of the guys said his sister Rebecca Lusterio played a role in the film.
Rebecca lives and studies in Manila and has had parts in other Cesar Montano films such as Ligalig and Panaghoy Sa Suba.
