Book Week in Inabanga Bohol

  If the current interest in books and transformation of students into voracious readers are the gauge, then the celebration in Inabanga of the 75th National Book Week was a success,

  The celebration that has become a tradition especially for local libraries revolved around the theme Kaaya-ayang Magbasa, sa Kapaligirang Kay Ganda.

  Highlighting the celebration were the book display at the lobby of the municipal hall and an information quiz that focused on women who pioneered and excelled in the field of arts, sports, history and sciences.

  Vice Mayor Wenceslao Lao welcomed the participants composed of three senior students per delegation from all public and private schools in the municipality - the Saint Paul's Academy (SPA), Southern Inabanga High School (SIHS) and Inabanga High School (IHS).

  Corazon dela Torre of SIHS bagged the first place while Ma. Verzomena Estillore and Aldrian John Añana both of SPA landed on the 2nd and 3rd places.

  The distribution of certificates and monetary prizes to the winners capped the activity. Non-winners also received certificates and consolation prizes.- Sunday Post

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...

The Essence of the Beijing Olympic Games

Tagbilaran Mayor Dan Lim yesterday issued a challenge for people to adopt the "Olympic" spirit.  Lim issued the challenge a day after the opening ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics.  The mayor noted that while host and traditional powerhouse China fielded 639 athletes to compete in all 28 sports, the Philippines can only send 15 athletes and 10 officials to Beijing .  Although most people would readily point to the fact that economics largely determine sports development, Lim said it is also worth considering that many nations smaller, younger and poorer than the Philippines have performed better in the past.  To this day, the Philippines still continues to aim for the elusive gold medal unlike some less developed nations.   "One of the reasons for this is that as a people we are happy-go-lucky and are not known for our work ethics," the mayor said.  Lim said that while other people particularly those in poorer nations work very hard at the sport which...
