About a third of all casualties occurred in this town, and its church, dating from the 1850s, completely razed to the ground.

[6] 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of Tagbilaran is the town proper of Loon, the westernmost municipality of the island province.

[7] Loon lies halfway between Tagbilaran and Tubigon, Bohol's major ports of entry, each of which is only 40 minutes away by public utility buses, jeepneys and vans-for-hire that frequently ply the north–south route.

The rest of the upland barangays are served by Level II communal water systems.

The abundance of water in Loon has also encouraged investors to establish water-refilling stations in the town.
