Created to commemorate the signing of the first treaty of its kind between the Philippines and Spain, the Blood Compact Monument is a piece of art in its own right. The memorial is located in the Bool District, on a strip of land next to what is now Tagbilaran East Road. Its current location is significant because it was the site of a blood compact between Miguel Lopez de Legaspi and Rajah Sikatuna on March 16, 1565. The locals of Bohol and the foreigners to their island were apparently united in their appreciation of this friendly gesture.
Boholano and National Artist Napoleon Abueva sculpted the life-size statue. It depicts five men, all in bronze, seated at a table and raising a glass to Legazpi and Sikatuna, who are seated on an elevated dais.
