I spoke to this Spanish friend and he said, the Alburquerque we have in Bohol has the correct spelling as there is also a place called Alburquerque in Spain.
The one in the United States of America (USA), specifically Albuquerque, New Mexico does not have an 'r' after Albu since it is only Albuquerque. It should be Alburquerque. #fyi

Other sites to see in Alburquerque
Sta. Monica Parish Church
The most unique feature of this church is the arc stone bridge connecting the Church itself and the convent. This was once a scene on one of Bea Alonzo’s movie, Cesar Montano's Muro Ami. Just recently, LizQuen love team of ABSCBN dropped by the church for a possible shooting location for Dolce Amore.
The uniquely built church of Sta. Monica Parish, Alburquerque, Bohol was one of the few churches in Bohol who was able to withstand the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Bohol last October 15, 2013.
Sta. Fe Beach
This is a favorite hang out place during Sundays by families not only for Alburanons, but also people from nearby municipalities.
Delicacies
Calamay is the favorite delicacy of the place filled with delicious ingredients. If you want to know more about the product, you can certainly ask the known makers of this product from Ponong, Alburquerque, Bohol.
Calamay products are displayed in most supermarkets in Bohol. Vendors are also lined up in the Port of Tagbilaran which can be a perfect "pasalubong" way back home. It can be a good partner for any bread or biscuit. If you buy calamay, make sure it is from Alburquerque. :)
