---

Corella is a 6th class municipality in the province of Bohol, Philippines. The town is located 10 kilometers north of the provincial capital, Tagbilaran City. Five kilometers south are the beaches of Panglao. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 6,048 people in 1,263 households.

Corella is the endemic home of the Philippine tarsier, the world's smallest primates. Most of these fist-size monkeys are found in Barangay Cancatac, about three kilometers from the town's center.

The people of Corella are dominantly conservative Roman Catholics who belong to the Parish of Our Lady of the Village (Nuestra Señora del Villar) whose feast is celebrated on April 27 every year, only four days before the Feast of St. Joseph that Tagbilaran City celebrates on May 1.

Corella does not have any major industry. It has abundant water supply underneath its patrimony, but it is the residents of Tagbilaran City who have benefitted more from its resources as the infrastructure were designed more for the city. The town has become indebted for the water consumption of its residents to the government-owned but privately-run water distributor.
