Kalibo is the capital of the Philippine province of Aklan, in the northwest of Panay, and, through the Kalibo International Airport, is the main transportation hub for the resort island of Boracay. The city is known for the Ati-Atihan festival and for the semi-urban mangrove forest, the Bakhawan Eco-Park. In 2010, it had a population of around 75,000. Kalibo is a first class Philippine municipality. The Kalibo Municipal Hall is located inside the Magsaysay Park, which also serves as the venue for cultural activities and events. ==Etymology== The term ''Kalibo'' comes from the Aklanon word ''"sangkâ líbo"'', ("one thousand"), reputedly the number of native Ati who attended the first Catholic Mass celebrated there. Kalibo was originally spelled as "Calivo". The town of Kalibo was originally called Akean by the inhabitants, similar to the name of the river nearby. The word ''akean'' itself connotes the warbling of running waters, from the root word ''akae'', meaning "to boil". ''Akae-akae'' means "to bubble" or "to boil" or "to make the sound of bubbling or boiling" in the Aklanon language. The Spaniards interchanged the names Aklan and Calivo to refer to the town. Aside from these two, other names such as Calibo, Daclan, Adan, and Calibog have been used. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalibo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
