Bohol Backbone Transmission Project (BBTP)

Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado and the Central Visayas Regional Development Council (RDC 7) have brought the proposed P1.6-billion Bohol Backbone Transmission Project (BBTP) one step closer to realization.

  This after they successfully endorsed the project to the National Economic and Development Authority's Investment Coordination Committee Technical Board (Neda-ICC-TB).during a recent meeting at Neda's Ortigas Center headquarters.

  Aumentado is bullish over TransCo's project as it will provide more efficient and more dependable power with trip-offs reduced to the barest minimum.

  He also said the project will be funded with TransCo internally generated income, hence, no need for Official Development Assistance (ODA) or outside loans.

  The project proposes to expand the existing Ubay sub-station and install high-tension steel towers like those stringing the cable from the island municipality of President Garcia to Ubay town.

  The new steel towers will string the "backbone" line from Ubay to Corella town.

  "With the backbone project, trip-offs and blackouts especially those caused by falling coconut palms or tree branches will be things of the past," Aumentado said.

  A more dependable and sufficient power is a must for Bohol's burgeoning tourism industry, he added. - June Blanco, Sunday Post

Antonio Ong Guat, the founder of Bohol Quality Store

From Sunday Post   I pay my sincerest condolences to Antonio Ong Guat, the founder of Bohol Quality Store . My family especially my late Mom owed a lot of gratitude to him. Little is known of the fact that my Mom as a school teacher, was making school teaching charts with her crude rubber printing set. I used to accompany her to Tagbilaran to buy her supplies at Bohol Quality Store, and bought her supplies direct from Ong Guat. Suki niya si Ong Guat to the point that he would attend to her when she goes to the store. In fact, nagpapautang pa siya ni Mom, which she paid when she sold her teaching materials to the new teachers. I suggest that the provincial and city governments should honor Ong Guat with a posthumous award in recognition of his efforts to be the founder of a business empire in Bohol, which has presently employed thousands of Boholanos presently. I think everybody agrees that his store sparked business to its fullest heights today. Fred Ong and his wife Babs Gonzaga we
