The Camiguin Island was said to be a “Sleeping Princess” because it looks like a girl sleeping. According to the legend, the so-called princess was force to married a prince from the other kingdom. She was unhappy because she loves someone in their place. When her father knew about that special someone of her daughter, he ordered that guy to be exiled. The princess was very sad hearing that news. The night before the fixed marriage, the princess escaped, she used the little boat sailing away from their kingdom. When the princess was a bit away from the kingdom, someone saw her. Then her father commanded the soldiers to bring back her daughter alived. The princess tried hurriedly to escaped from the soldiers, but when she was almost captured she jumped onto the sea. The soldiers waited her to came out from the water but no traces that princess will be coming out. Three days had passed, to their surprised a small island coming out with the shaped of a princess sleeping. That was the legend of Camiguin Island.
The above story was based from my Grandmother who used to share stories with me during my childhood. I grew up also in Camiguin.
