Dauis

Dauis is derived from the word "dawi," which in fishing parlance refers to a fish biting the bait of a fishing hook and line.

Dauis is primarily known for its major tourist attractions: Our Lady of Assumption Church, also locally called Señora de la Asunción, and Hinagdanan Cave. The church, built by Boholanos under Spanish forced labor, is constructed of solid rock and features wall paintings.

As of May 1, 2020, Dauis had a total population of 52,492, according to the 2020 Census of Population and Housing. This figure represented about 3.76 percent of Bohol's total population in 2020, with a general trend of population increase over the past two decades.

The optimal time to visit Dauis for outdoor activities is generally from late December to late March. This period offers clear, rainless days with temperatures typically between 65°F and 80°F, peaking in the first week of March.

Dauis is culturally significant for its historical sites like the Our Lady of Assumption Church, a testament to local craftsmanship and colonial history. The church's architecture and interior paintings offer a glimpse into the region's heritage.
