PROCESS Team in Bohol

      The municipal officials of Catigbian hosted an Ecotourism Familiarization Tour for PROCESS-Bohol staff Monday last week.

      The half-day activity on January 19 was part of the local government unit's staff development agenda, aiming to know the best practices, programs and services of the once sleepy town of Catigbian.

      The 19-man team led by PROCESS-Bohol Executive Director Emie Roslinda paid a courtesy call to Mayor Roberto Salinas.

      Then, they toured the municipal hall and its premises, and observed the operation at the Catigbian Livestock Auction Center and the Public Market.

      The LGU's information office gave a PowerPoint presentation on the best practices, programs and services of the municipality at the conference hall, leading to lengthy discussions and exchange of ideas.

      "We have chosen Catigbian as our destination not because this is our partner in the implementation of various PROCESS-facilitated projects, but because we want to learn how the then sleeping LGU became an emerging economic tiger in the Province of Bohol, that we are very proud of. We would like also to experience your Dagook Falls Adventure and the 'pick-and-pay' at your demo farm," Roslinda said.

      For his part, Mayor Salinas emphasized in his message that "LGU-Catigbian is managed like a corporation, but we are not after of the green box. What we are after of is the effective delivery of services to the public, say for example, potable water. For a local government unit to operate a waterworks system, the motive is not profit, but more of the service to the people".

      At around lunchtime, PROCESS-Bohol staff had a short glimpse of the newly constructed P14-million Municipal Health Center with a five-bed lying-in facility that surprised them most.

      The proposed area for Dagook Falls Adventure was the last stop of the group where they enjoyed the hanging bridge escapade. - source: Sunday Post

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
