New High School in Catigbian Town

By Rey Chiu, PIA

The fifth secondary school in Catigbian town rises following the Department of Education's (DepED) official approval of the new Haguilanan High School (HHS), Mayor Roberto Salinas reported lately.

HHS, with 56 students from nearby Catigbian barangays and neighboring Balilihan town comes as the 3rd government public school here.

HHS comes after Mantacida High School in barangay Mantacida, Catigbain National high School in Poblacion, Holy Child Academy in Baang and Immaculate Mary Academy also in Poblacion.

Both Holy Child Academy and Immaculate Mary Academy are private secondary schools.

Ever insisting on putting up one more secondary school despite knowing it would burden the town with operational subsidy costs, Salinas said it would be worth to make quality public secondary education accessible to his constituents.

Over the development, the mayor said Catigbianons were filled with great jubilation.

DepEd, through Dr. Clemen Jala, representing Dr. School's Division Superintendent Elpidio Jala turned over the pertinent documents to Matyor Salinas in simple ceremonies, the mayor said.

Catigbian has made another record, Dr. Jala accordingly said.

In the history of Bohol secondary schools, what several applicants take years to process, Catigbian did theirs in less than three months, Jala said in his brief message at the rites.

Now wanting to grab all the credit for the recent achievement, mayor Salinas also named those whom the credits would be shared and who have become instrumental in their positive achievement.

Salinas named CNHS principal Teogenes Galon, Haguilanan barangay officials led by Chairman Cristobal Rasonabe, Municipal Budget Officer Asunto, Treasurer Ranulfo Suarez, Planning Officer Tifilito Rulida and the support from the Bohol Schools division office under Dr. Jala.

Pending its full operation costs in the national budget, Salinas said the town will have to dip into its resources to sustain its operation.

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
