Golden Sarok Rotonda
Golden Sarok Rotonda, also known as Rotunda Sarok, Golden Sarok Shrine, or simply Sarok is a roundabout structure at the junction of Toting Reyes Street, Osmeña Avenue, Jaime Cardinal L. Sin (formerly Quezon Avenue) and Desposorio Maagma Sr. Street also known as Crossing Banga and New Washington in Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines. It serves as a prominent landmark to main business area of Kalibo.
==History and Significance==
Erected in 1973, the landmark was donated by Jose "Peping" Briones Fernandez to the municipality of Kalibo during the term of Mayor Federico Icamina. Fernandez, son of former mayor of Kalibo Juez Juan Fernandez was a U.S. Pilot who returned to his hometown Kalibo upon his retirement. It was primarily built to honor the local farmers as Kalibo and Aklan are agricultural town and province, respectively. It also stands as a symbol of Panay's folk history known as the Barter of Panay wherein the Bornean datus headed by Datu Puti bought Panay Island (formerly known as Anninipay) from the Aeta chief Marikudo, in exchange for gold necklace, bolts of cloth, golden trinkets and of course, a "golden sarok". Sarok is the local Akeanon term for a hat. It has formed part of the Kalibonhons and Aklanons daily life, tradition, culture and heritage for decades. From a trip to neighboring provinces or from a flight from Manila or overseas, the sight of the structure, in the collective consciousness of Kalibonhons and Aklanons means they are once again "home".〔(Ro Akeanon )〕
