Inabanga Bohol Athletic Meet 2009

  Hundreds of elementary and high school students pitted skills against each other in the recently concluded town athletic meet.

  The sports hostilities proved a success even if postponed until after the danger of further spread of the influenza A (H1N1) virus already diminished. 

   The virus had caused suspension of classes in several schools and the request that the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) skip this town in the supposed to be provincewide medical missions last September 6.

  Mayor Jose Jono Jumamoy had relayed his request to Bohol Gov. Erico Aumentado in the effort to contain the spread of the virus that a pupil of Lawis Elementary School picked up when visiting Negros Island.

  The students, coaches and officiating officials trooped to the municipal cultural center for the opening ceremonies.

  In his welcome message, Jumamoy encouraged the students to learn to love sports and imbibe the spirit of competition.

  "Through this activity, the youth will learn the value of sportsmanship. Joining the meet is not all about winning only but above all, learning the value of fair play," he said.

  Delegates from the elementary schools in the Inabanga North and South Districts, the Southern Inabanga High School, Inabanga High School, San Jose High School, Cuaming High School and Saint Paul's Academy saw action in over 10 events to include running, jumping and throwing events, badminton, basketball, chess, dance sport, sepak takraw, table and lawn tennis and volleyball.

  Although the meet involved student athletes and the schools, it was a local government unit event as well. Jumamoy collaborated efforts with Inabanga South District in-Charge Eleuterio Torregosa, Inabanga North District Supervisor Grace Wielder and the Technical Working Group created for the purpose.

  Winners of the municipal meet will comprise the Inabanga Team that will compete in the Sub Congressional meet on September 23 in San Isidro.

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...

Politicking at Tagbilaran City Hall

By Jorge Cabalit Bohol Chronicle Some casual employees of the City Government complained that they were directed to secure the signatures of at least 20 registered voters in their localities. The act of compelling these casual employees to get the signatures of at least 20 registered voters is a violation of the Omnibus Election Code and the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees. Until now, the committee on appropriation and accounts and personnel and reorganization of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Tagbilaran, tasked to investigate these complaints, have not come out with the results of their investigation. The gathering of signatures by every casual employee will mean thousands of signatures of registered voters in the hands of the Office of the City Mayor. These signatures can easily be copied during the voting on election day. The gathering of some signatures would lend support to the allegations that some signatures of the voters in the ballots in the previous election...
