Welcome to Tuburan, the spring of hope
The town of Tuburan was discovered in the year 1851 by Don Mariano Montebon who hailed from the town of Sogod, Cebu. The town was first sited at Daan Lungsod which is just across the Adela River, north of the present Poblacion, Tuburan got its name from the prevalence of springs, which are the sources of drinkable water for household use of the early settlers. “Tuburan,” evolved from the Cebuano- Visayan dialect “Tubod” meaning spring.
Molobolo Spring. Looking really nice.
This pool is a bit deep. Not exactly sure how deep, though.
Molobolo Spring. Looking really nice.
The place is cool not only because of the water (which is freezing cold) but also because of the huge trees surrounding the spring.
The name Tuburan is derived from the word “tubod” which means the spring of water. The presence of several springs denotes the natural image of the municipality long before the Spanish era up to the present.
Tuburan is the birthplace of known early leaders such as Capitan Mariano Montebon in 1852 when the municipality was founded; Bonifacio Arcenas assisted by Ramon Allego in the Spanish era; General Arcadio Maxilom (the first Gov.of Cebu) during the Japanese occupation.
