Who says Bohol is a poor province? They've been mistaken.

The chocolate hills that is so marvelously engeneered by creative  hands are unique of its kind.

The white sand beaches, is a mat that thousand people could rest and be awed by its sights.

The serenity of  the place is an Eden, that one could lost worldy burdens.

Up and down its highways is an experience to cherished.

Its lagoons, pools and caves are mysterious places one should visit.

Its antique churches, structures and buildings the world heritage preserved.

Not all but some of its generous and warm-hearted dwellers one should befriend.

These and more treasures all the money of this world can't buy.

i totally agree with you. but the question is, can this  be eaten by people? obviously nope. unsaon man nato ni? nindot tuod atong lugar pero daghang nag ilaid sa kalisod. wala ra gihapon kwenta kay usa man ni sa makita sa atong mga bisita.

way to go, lorenz.  sometimes, less enlightened westerners impose their material standards on easterners.  it diminishes humanity.  meanwhile, what's the use of going somewhere-- a vacation in your case-- to experience only more of the same? 

that's why i like mark twain who was vocal against american imperialist designs on our country at a time when an american president named mckinley and his blah-blah "manifest destiny" aimed to christianize the philippines, never mind that our country at that time was already largely catholic.   


It goes to show you, Isles, that beauty lies in the beholder. I've visited Cebu, Leyte, Manila, Bohol. Out of the places that I truly enjoyed was Bohol and Leyte, Leyte was an extension of the beauty that I saw in Bohol, so to say.

What attracted me was not Cebu City's industry , but the rich green farms, the massive - vast greenery seen in Bohol.

Why is Bohol viewed as a poor province? I don't think so, but probably, because the land is rocky and some are barren like the chocolate hills." Batuon man jud kaajo ang juta sa Bohol ", this the remarks of our forefathers who migrated to Mindanao.

Go to Wikipedia. Then on the search pane, type "bohol". You will see that we are now rated as the poorest province in Central Visayas. Poorer than Siquijor. And that's because we have been stuck to the middle ages when it comes to income generation. Agriculture to the max. We are now part of a global economy but because we chose to remain backward, this is what we reap. And it's just going to get worse if we keep to our old ways. :(

I don't believe that. Siquijor, as a province, is equivalent to two of Bohol's towns: Ubay and Inabanga.

There is no comparison. Bohol's economy being tourism and agrarian based is not a bad thing, as it focuses on constant returns and renewable resources [Sustainable Development]. Bohol is one of the bread basket provinces in the Central Visayas, and if one studies economics, in order to maintain a healthy economic cycle, one needs to appropriate its resources on a plethora of investments per se: tourism (eco-tourism, cultural / historical tourism), agriculture, fisheries, livestock, services sector (medical, technology, etc). Bohol is a wealthy province, believe it or not, as it is wealthier compared to many other provinces in Eastern, and Western Visayas. Bohol is wealthier  and is better developed compared to Southern Leyte as well as parts of Mainland Leyte, and definitely in some parts of Mindanao and Western Visayas (Aklan, Antique, and parts of Ilo-Ilo).

Bohol's conservative economy is based on our richness as a province, the province isn't direly poor as compared to other provinces in the country and trying to paint the picture of Bohol as being an impoverished province and the Boholanos a destitute people is unsubstantiated. There are wealthy Boholanos, the towns in Bohol are improving and developing with the rest of the country.

One thing about Bohol that strikes me is that she maintains a policy of sustainable development. Agriculture is the backbone of Bohol, always have been, and always will be. However, when the province develops a plenitude of fiberoptics material, and as the province modernizes its vast infrastructure, we will expect to see Bohol rise as a balanced agriculturo-service-oriented economic machine.

Do we expect Bohol to be as condensed and dirty as Cebu, which Cebu has traded for massive development? Of course not. Remember that with total industrialization, there are negative effects to this: social, enviromental, as well as political machinations can change. Bohol will develop to the best interest of the Boholano people (foreign and domestic). I for one will never trade Bohol for Cebu or any other province at that. So if ever the Philippine's looses its IT industry to other competitive nations, Bohol will not suffer drastically as it has and does enjoy a vast natural resource that many other provinces wish they could have: Fertile Land.

The beauty of our province, and what attracts Filipinos from other provinces as well as foreigners from abroad to Bohol are the province's rich environmental , ecological fauna, the quaint religious icons and structures in the province, as well as the multitude of activities in the province. Compared to many other provinces in the country as well as in surrounding Visayan provinces, Bohol is a paradise.

This is partially true, Mr. Daray. I have been all around Bohol and know that the soil in Bohol is quite fertile , thanks in turn to the volcanic remnants of our island, the soil in Bohol is conducive for growing not only rice, corn, potatoes, and a plethora of agrarian products; as well as raising chickens, swine etc.

The reasons why many Boholanos left for other provinces in the past was because they were fleeing Bohol during the Japanese occupation (many boholanos left for Mindanao for that reason) as well as the fact that Bohol was overpopulated. Mindanao, at the time, was largely underdeveloped (Bohol was overdeveloped and densely populated at the time, still is to this day) and thus many of them, with the help of Manila Government's provisions to develop Mindanao did set up shop, so to say, in Mindanao. There was a mass emmigration of Visayans to Mindanao (hence the large Cebuano, Ilonggo speaking communities in Mindanao). This is why there are alot of Ilonggos, Leytenos, Cebuanos, Boholanos in Mindanao. Even in General Santos, Dipolog, Cagayan De Oro, Davao etc.

Many people from Central, Eastern and Western Visayas left for Mindanao and other provinces because of the land claims to Mindanao and a chance to start a better life.

Many Boholanos that left For Mindanao did not have land in Bohol or had very little of it. They left for Mindanao to have a possible share of the land there, and to escape the overpopulation crisis in the island.

Not necessarily because Bohol is poor and the land in Bohol is poor. If that was the case, then, Bohol would not be an Agricultural Province. And it is a major agricultural province. It is one of the Bread Baskets of the Central Visayas.....

The Province of Bohol is a super-province. It is a large province.

Bohol is larger than the provinces of: Guimarras, Aklan, Antique, Southern Leyte, Siquijor, Camuigin, Romblon, and Quirino combined.

Maybe you need to take a trip to the towns of Bohol so you can see how impoverished are the people there. And yes, Bohol is larger than other islands in the country but size does not necessarily equate to economic status.

And are the people of Wikipedia liars? Have you checked what they have about Bohol? If you are working abroad, then definitely you will not see the poor state of the people in Bohol. Let me invite you to spend a week in one of the hinterland barangays of Hanopol. After that, then you tell me Bohol is rich.

I was in Bohol from July and August and drove around the entire province multiple times, let alone staying in Valencia. Having visited Cebu, Iloilo, Leyte (Southern), Metro Manila I wast able to see the disparity in large parts of Cebu , especially in Southern Leyte and parts of Iloilo. From my talks to Tagbilaran City Councilor Edie Borja and other-representatives as well as former Valencia mayor Dr. Plenio Lim, Bohol is undergoing development. I can tell you that. The province is developing, again via sustainable development. Poverty is not something that can be eradicated overnight and will be something the province and the whole country has to deal with long term.

As for Bohol, I see it continuing to develop its services sector while maintaining and investing in new agricultural techniques to increase output so as to increase the livelihood of the everyday Bolanon farmers who are not privileged with city living.

It is the responsibility of Bohol's Provincial Government maintain development, increase the service sector. We can very much learn from provinces such as Negros Oriental, whose economy is a healthy balance of agriculture, service, industry, and tourism.

Lorenzo

Bohol is rich. I have driven through Valencia, Dimiao, Garcia Hernandez, Guindulman, Ubay, Alicia, Candijay, Carmen, Tagbilaran etc. The province's infrastructure has improved drastically compared to what I remember when I visited Bohol some 12 years ago. The modernization of towns, the building of new markets, improvement of the local health care system, why I've seen the new provincial hospitals around the province that are being built even the increase in the province's prison system.

I would recommend you to visit Southern Leyte and parts of Mainland Leyte, which have rather poor areas as compared to as Bohol. Again, poverty is not something that is particular to Bohol, but throughout the entire country.

The issue that I'm stressing is the importance of sustainable development and realistic goals for the province in the immediate future. There is only so much government can do in regards to private service sector.

Should there be increased bilateral talks, yes, of course, but again, one has to be realistic in these processes.

taga hanopol ka bai or nakabisita lang ka didto? basin moumento na ang maong lugar kay taga balilihan na baya ang governor sa bohol ron. taga diha pa jud ang mayor sa balilihan. ang ako lang gikalibgan kay provincial road man unta na leading to batuan pero murag wala man atimana ang dalan diha.

agree man ko nimo kuwang jud ang improvement sa kung ikompara nimo sa ubang probinsiya. akong trabaho sa una sige lang travel all over the philippines ug makita jud nimo nga layo ra kaayo ang akong yutang natawhan and to think that was 8 years ago. how much more karon? akong gisugdan ug balik ang ubang probinsya nga akong naadtoan sa una ug nisamot naman nuon kaumento. naa nay mga towns nga nahimo nang syudad. hahay, maayo lang unta ug mahimo nang syudad ang ubay or talibon at least kakita ta ug gamayng improvement.
