Bohol's Best Athletes Come from Catigbian?

Successful in carving a name for itself in governance, Catigbian now eyes the distinction as the next producer of Bohol's top caliber athletes

And now with a reliable athletic and sustainable program being institutionalized, the town would be proving that great athletes are not just born, they too are made. 

Aided by Catigbian Sports Council headed by Mayor Roberto Salinas, the town revisited its sports training programs and instituted reforms to produce better athletes. The results in the latest sports competitions where Catigbian fielded athletes has churned out a very promising achievements 

Catigbian emerged as the over-all champion in the recently held Sub Congressional Meet held in Cortes, and capped a high place in the recent secondary private schools competitions Mayor Salinas said, in a chance interview. 

Elated over the development, the mayor who is no stranger to discipline being a retire navy man said he was finally proven his point, the sports training program that works a month before the real competitions is the right way to get the desired results. 

From a near bottom settler in the 19 school competitors of the Bohol Association of Catholic Schools (BACS) Meet held in Dimiao, Catigbian now grabbed the seventh position, one that may be already a success indicator.  

Catigbianons however see that the recent achievements can be explained. 

They agree the Catigbian Sports Council has given their athletes a better fighting stance.

"Months of sweat and painful training has given the towns its medals and made the name of Catigbian as a force to reckon with in the field of sports," Councilor Mariano Maglahus Jr. said. 

And according to Councilor Nick Nino Ladroma, Catigbian has excelled in the different sports events during the last sub-congressional meet held in Cortes as it emerged the over-all champions. 

Ladroma, the town sports committee chair pointed out that Catigbian has success rooted on the reforms proposed by Mayor Roberto Salinas to set up a council to oversee the sustainable training of local athletes.  

Putting up an honest-to-goodness sports training program is definitely the best and most productive approach to solving the problem of poor performances, he said. 

Hosts to the provincial sports meet last year, Catigbian has been helpless witnesses of how the host district team got clobbered to a very dismal performance in the province wide competitions.  

Now wanting to get away from similar performances, Catigbian has put up a multi-sectoral sports council and planned for the yeqr-round training of their athletes.

Bohol Scandal Exposed in Loboc, Bohol

Exposed Captured on the spot

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
