Today, is a date every Bol-anon should remember and commemorate!

Though we had previous periods of self rules, like during the times of Tamblot and Dagohoy, it was only in June 1899 that a formal state of Bohol was consituted.
It is commendable therefore for every Boholano citizen to commemorate that distinct event!

Here is an excerpt from historical records;

On June 11, 1899 the provincial officials and town officials of Bohol gathered at the Provincial Capitol Building for a constitutional convention. On the same day the constitution of the Republic of Bohol was approved and the officials of the republic were elected.

Don Bernabe Reyes was elected President, Don Salustiano Borja was elected Vice President and Rafael Reyes, Eduardo Calceta, Macario Sarmiento were elected Counselors (Consejeros). The army was under the command of Sargento Mayor Pedro Samson.

The Republic of Bohol existed and was governed independently until the arrival of the Americans in Bohol on March 17, 1900. The republic collected taxes and rendered services to the Boholanos.

Upon the arrival of the Americans the Boholanos protested but agreed to co-exist with the Americans. However, on September 1, 1990 war erupted between the Boholanos and the Americans. The Republic of Bohol prosecuted the war until the surrender of General Pedro Samson on December 23, 1901. (From Bol-anon historian Jes Tirol)

Can it be possible to put a metal plate inscribed with this historical bit at the second floor of the provincial capitol? The second floor lobby is filled with pictures of Bohol's past governors. This historical fact would be an interesting additional read.

Thanks GEC, it's a gem of an idea that should have been done long before!

Guess, Bohol CCAD, Delaguna, H or even our own prodigious MikeL might do something about it.

Go for it guys ......

From now on, Tubag Bohol observes June 11 as a national holiday for the revived Republic of Bohol.

Really. I'm serious...
