Cuatro Islas – [Hindang and Inopacan, Leyte ] The group of four islets off the western coast of Leyte province. One of the four islands is named Himokilan Island, under the municipal territory of Hindang.

Cuatro Islas is a promising place for tourism to boom in this part of the region. But let’s not just focus our interest on the sea level. We also have to look up high in the mountains where you can find the Little Baguio of Brgy. Cabulisan and Caminto. By putting up tourism in the sea and in the mountains, everything in between these two points will totally enjoy the benefits of tourism. We will soon be progressing our local transportation industry to and from these two points. Food and accommodations will spread out in the areas where tourists would be plying around. Of course, other progress will come along, such as the development of commercial centers, parks, facilities, etc.. Tourism will surely put a new pin in the map to mark where in the globe Inopacan is.

The other three, Mahaba, Apid, and Digyo islands belong to the municipality of Inopacan. The sea between the four islands and the mainland had long been the refuge to some ships and sinsuros (fishing vessels) that sought to hide from the wrath of monsoon wind and typhoons.

But let’s not forget also the relics of time. We need a place to store the old things in town for the next generations to behold and be informed of stories and things of the past. We need to have our own museum or sort of like this.
As I’ve said in one of my previous blogs, I suggest the installation of a municipal museum and public library where all the literary works, relics, and memorabilia of olden times and history about Inopacan and about us Inopacnons would be stored and preserved for perpetuity.
Or else, rust, termites, and loss of memory and references will vanish these treasures to oblivion.
He who does not look back will never reach where he longs to go.
