Kangdaya

Kangdaya is the old name of the country at the northern tip of Cebu, later known as Daanbantayan. Local tradition links the name to Datu Daya, a chief remembered as the protector of the community. The later name means an old lookout place in Cebuano, recalling a watch kept for raiders approaching by sea. From this northern end of Cebu, the surrounding waters connect the island with its neighbours in the Visayan archipelago.
