Blood Drip

Bohol

 

The blood compact area has life-size brass statues. It’s a historic site, where, 300 years ago, the tribal chieftain and the head of the Spanish conquistadores covenant to end atrocities by drawing blood from their arms. They let blood drip in a cup then took turns drinking the mixed blood concoction! That was the way of the past. Today it’s in the list of the One Thousand And One Ways To Die! Cool.
