Squatter Demolition in Tagbilaran City

Despite the repeated call made by the provincial government for the squatters to relocate outside their illegally occupied government lot in Purok 6, New Capitol Site Cogon District, this city, the settlers have made no action. Still they continue to occupy the said place undermining the memorandum of agreement which they have signed during previous administrations to evacuate the place whenever it is used for government purposes.

In relation with this, DepEd Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Elpidio Jala vowed to now go ahead with the construction of the new DepEd building on the site.

The demolition of houses owned by the squatters will start tomorrow.

Jala said that the governor has already instructed him to pursue the demolition so he will act on this immediately due to the urgency of the project.

"The project must be started now. The P5-million pesos funds coming from the coffer in Congress will go back to general funds (GAA) if it will not be utilized. Before the year ends," Jala added.

Earlier, the province has allocated funds, amounting to P5,000 to be given per household as a financial assistance for them to evacuate but still they refused to evacuate.

Antonio Ong Guat, the founder of Bohol Quality Store

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
