The interconnection between population and environment and its impact on food security and poverty are the main issues tackled by the four governors and mayors from the 16 municipalities and 3 cities of the provinces of Cebu, Leyte, Bohol and Southern Leyte (CeLeBoSoLe) during the CeLeBoSoLe Growth Quadrangle Convention on Poverty, Population and Environment on April 18, 2008 at the Bohol Tropics Resort.

The convention is sponsored by the Province of Bohol through the leadership of Governor Erico B. Aumentado in partnership with PATH Foundation Philippines and its local NGO partner, PROCESS-Bohol.

During the meeting, the CELEBOSOLE Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed by the LGU executives and heads of the concerned government agencies. The MOA is patterned after a previous agreement which was signed in October 2002 focusing on coastal resource management of the Danajon Bank. It also aims to revitalize the CeLeBoSoLe Council and its Technical Working Groups (TWG).
