Pagtaltal sa Guimaras

Folklore says Guimaras was named after the impetuous Aras, who defied tradition for their romance. Rejecting the betrothal by her father to another noble son, they escaped by a small raft but they disappeared in the raging sea. From then on, whenever strong winds churned the seas, people seemed to hear the lover's names shouted by her repentant father, thus, the name Guimaras. Guimaras can be reached by air and boat from Manila and other origin, via Iloilo City.
