bohol will never reach the level of cebu or negros in terms of improvement, infrastructure and investor wise. sorry to say this but it's really the truth. the people running the show in bohol are all greedy and all are just thinking for themselves. hopefully someone in the future will save this province the mouth of the predators.
bohol is indeed a paradise but the question is, are the people in bohol living as if they are in paradise? the answer is no, a big, big no. they are still hungry people in panglao island even if it's called a paradise, hungry constituents in carmen even if there hills are chocolate, hungry and needy residents in danao even if they have EAT in their town.
according to nationmaster.com in their most recent record, philippines is #70 in the list among countries with population living below the poverty line. in which we are tied with Turkmenistan, Cape Verde, and Dominica where 30% of the entire population are below poverty line. The same result presented by Index Mundi. while in CIA, it is showed to at 32.9% based on 2006 data.
Countries whose poverty line are below 10% are Austria 6%, Andorra 8%, France 6.2%, Greenland 9.2%, Ireland 4.2%, Lithuania 4%, Malaysia 5.1%, Mauritius 8%, Montenegro 7%, Serbia 7.9%, Switzerland 7.4%, Taiwan 1.08%, Thailand 9.6% and Tunisia 3.8%. While the top 20 countries are all from Africa.
agree pero ayaw pud ug shoot gun approach na tanan ma igo.....yes Danao dagahan pa ug pobre but it has significant improvement na compared before this is because of the Adventure park......the park has great impact on Danao's economy......it hired more than 100 pax...indirectly it benefited people in town thru income generating activities via accommodation, habalhabal, van for hire, carenderia etc.......plus ni add ug another aspect of tourism for bohol w/c draws more tourist to bohol......since 3 years pa ang park you cant expect it to cure the social ills of the town nga dugay na gi neglect before the current administration came in.....it will take some time to fix the problem on poverty........
now with extra income generated....sa pag ka karon.....they have manage to raise 25M sa park of which they have already set aside money for healthcare, education, micro finacing, job training, etc......in fact they have a project where they provide free milk sa mga day care center around the town....plus the milk they are buying is sourced from within the town lang supporting a local coop.....just recently nag launch ang Danao ug Home stay this way ang mga towns people will have the opportunity to earn pud.....so slowly but surely we hope the poverty in the town will slowly be reduced......to a manageable level......
again di pud tana leaders sa bohol are after personal gains.....
