 PO3 Marlito Ingking, who was with the responding team, said Layao was pinned by his motorcycle when they arrived at the scene of the mishap.

  "We immediately brought him to the (Gov. Celestino Gallares Regional Hospital in Tagbilaran City ) but he was pronounced dead on arrival," Ingking said.

 He said Layao's forehead was severely injured in the accident.

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.

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
