The story of Dos Hermanos Island is interesting.  There came a time that they were out fishing when they were caught out at sea by a powerful typhoon. They stayed together and drowned in the tempest and as a sign to all of their loyalty to each other they were transformed in death as two nearly identical cone shaped mountains that make up Dos Hermanos Island.

Below the Dos Hermanos Island rocks are caves where a diverse range of colorful tropical fish swim and these are best observed at low tide.

The Dos Hermanos Island rocks also have many submerged smaller rocks where famous and delicious gourmet seaweeds known as gamet are found during the rainy season.

The Dos Hermanos Island district is situated to the north of Bangui and its now renowned Bangui windmills and inland lies the massive and forbidding Cordillera Mountain Range, the largest mountain range in the Philippines. Just over the other side of the mountain range lies the province of Cagayan. To the North and the West are the inviting and warm waters of the South China Sea.

Pagudpud is located amongst lush green mountains, luxuriant valleys, rolling hills and flat coastal plains. The 20,000 people who stay in Pagudpud and the surrounding area subsist mostly on rice farming, general farming and fishing.
