On the other side, when somebody talks about Siquijor, the first impression is Siquijor Island is a place of sorcerer. Sorcerer is an individual who have magical powers from spirits who helped them or some sorcerer claims that they own power from God. Yes, there are some sorcerers who are present at Siquijor as what I have heard from hearsays but only few. Sorcerer will not destroy any people unless they have great sin. Most of them used their magical powers in positive way in which they can help people.
