Bea Zobel Jr. Leaves Lifestyle For Bohol

Bea Zobel Jr leaves lifestyle for Bohol


By Marge C. Enriquez
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 23:01:00 01/24/2009


Close this BEATRIZ Susana Zobel de Ayala, aka Bea Jr., is pouring not only her own money but also her mind and soul into the cultural preservation of Bohol.

In Dauis, a quaint town in Pangalo island, she’s helping develop a first in the country— world-class tourism center with complementary sustainable livelihood programs revolving around a church complex and heritage site.

“It’s been my dream of saving our heritage by [making it benefit] the community,” Zobel tells Inquirer Lifestyle in an interview at Mandarin Oriental.

“I don’t feel communities have gained enough from tourism. There are many investors, but the people from the grassroots are not directly involved. My heart bleeds for them. I have a mission in life, and I usually work through my gut feel.”

With businessman and diver Joel Floro Uichico, and the Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI), Zobel aims to build a self-supporting local economy while preserving the environment and culture of the historic towns of Baclayon and Dauis.

Zobel forged an agreement with the Diocese of Tagbilaran through Bishop Leonardo Medroso to support the redevelopment of the Dauis Rectory Courtyard and Center which includes the pilgrimage shrine, the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady.

She then formed the Dauis Renaissance Company Inc., with her as chair, CEO and president. It aims to restore the colonial church and to turn the complex into a viable tourist attraction, with its venue for functions, museum on local culture, café and souvenir shop featuring the best of Bohol.

Having tourism facilities in sacred sites is common abroad. Culture worker Ino Manalo says Bohol’s landmarks, such as the Baclayon Church, attract 200 tourists daily, and the Loboc Church has an art gallery.

“It’s not a new thing that heritage structures are used for tourism or making people more aware of the story of the church and the meanings of the church,” says Manalo.

“We are not reinventing the wheel. Dauis is the first example in Bohol where the church heritage structure can be set up to provide tourism facilities that, in turn, provide livelihood by having local people as suppliers.”

Suspicion and doubt

The plan did not sit well among the conservative sector of Dauis. Some residents complained there was lack of consultation. A manifesto circulated opposing Zobel’s project and expressing suspicion that the support of Ayala companies was to cover up the plunder of church relic.

There was even talk that Zobel was using the restoration project just to acquire the church’s treasures. The paper also alleged that the bishop took out a bank loan using the Dauis church, convent and cemetery as collateral. The bank denied this.

“I’ve learned through my ups and downs,” Zobel said about the criticism. “It’s like mountain climbing on high heels. It has taught me patience and to listen to what the community wants, not what Bea Zobel wants for them but what they need. It’s a process.”

Her involvement with Dauis began when museum worker Ino Manalo and the local clergy organized a dinner at the Assumption Church to make a presentation. The roof of the 140-year-old church was leaking. On its ceiling was a painting depicting the old complex, done by Rey Francio Canuto Avila in 1920. The water was destroying the painting.

By coincidence, the relic of St. Therese of the Child Jesus was also set to be brought to the shrine. However, Dauis didn’t have the facilities to host 5,000 pilgrims for the February 2008 visit.

Behind the complex is a sacred ground where, legend has it, two date palms grew after the image of the Virgin Mary image arrived in Dauis. The area had suffered from neglect. Zobel spent P2 million to build a deck to accommodate the pilgrims and also funded the lighting of the entire complex. This scenic deck is now a tourist spot and a venue for functions.

Movement 8 designers

Zobel, with another volunteer, Medi Singh, helped restore the deteriorating facilities of the adjacent convent. She flew in Movement 8 designers Milo Naval, Tes Pasola and Tony Gonzales to act as consultants in renovating the museum, the souvenir shop and heritage-theme café which are housed in the adjacent convent.

The convent bodega was restored and turned into an audio-visual and function room. She also sent cooks to train with chef Heny Sison, and staffers to train at the Ayala-owned Hotel Intercontinental and Marriott Cebu.

Although the pilgrimage was well-managed, Zobel got the flak from some church council members. She admits to having started on the wrong foot.

“You don’t come in with people from Manila and take over a whole site.”

Development plan

Learning from this, Zobel and the local clergy formulated a development plan and formalized it into a memorandum of agreement. The plan includes upgrading the restrooms, completion of the museum, construction of the kitchen and bakery, and acquisition of implements for dining and banquet services.

With a 10-year projection, the project is divided into three phases and will cost more than the estimated P18 million.

“Since we’ll have a hard time getting funding, let me put my own resources into this. Let’s build a template, and people will see that it works, I hope. That’s when funding will come in afterwards,” says Zobel.

A third of that amount (at least P6 million) is Zobel’s personal donation while the two-thirds (at least P12 million) is her capital outlay. She is heading this project for the first five years, and envisions that the complex will be able to run by itself.

Manalo says the plan is to provide employment and livelihood opportunities.

“We are launching a tour guide program, training locals such as the out-of-school youths,” he says. “We are consulting with the people to get the story of the town and the church. They will make the story themselves and will be put together. We will train the young people to tell the story.”

Zobel’s bigger job is that she’s organizing people to get involved, like planting organic crops that will supply the café and forming crafts groups like jewelry makers and weavers so they can make products that can be sold in the shop.

Zobel has collaborated with women who have been producing Boholano jewelry for several generations. Urnas, little shrines in old homes, were made into tourist souvenirs. These are selling well in Dauis’ museum shop.

Hospitality training

Zobel plans to provide training of waiters so that more functions can be held in the complex.

“That is to make Dauis self-sufficient and that the convent will be the engine in which they would feel they have to preserve this church,” she says.

“Spirituality is the center of all these towns,” Zobel explains. “If people could only see that it could also put food on their table. They are not just feeding their souls. They are feeding their human needs. It could be a win-win situation. We have to pass down to the community what is going on. It’s the first time ever that they’ve seen like this.”

On Feb. 1, Zobel’s group will meet with church organizations to come up with an information campaign. She also tapped a local nongovernment organization to do a survey on the living standards of each household.

“Joel and I have pledged that we will not leave until we see a sustainable structure on hand,” Zobel says. “Ino, Joel or I are not there to make money out of this. We are doing it because we love our country. We can do much more by standing back and helping them that way than if we had businesses there. We refuse to buy any property here. It hurts when there are these loud people who say I’m there for my own interest. I wish they could see what I’ve sacrificed.”

Widowed 14 years ago, Zobel has three children who are studying abroad. She travels just to attend to parental duties in school. She’s based in Bohol and comes to Manila only for important matters. Jaime Urquijo, 21, and Paloma, 18, are based in the United States. Still in London, Monica, 13, will also study in Rhode Island.

“My children are my priority,” Zobel says. “They lost their father [Juan Urquijo] when they were very young. They need me. I’m the only person they ever have. But there were many times I could not be with my kids because something was calling me in Bohol. I juggle to balance my life in doing the things that I’m passionate about. I gave up so many things. I left my lifestyle behind for
Bohol.”

“I try to be strong. I’ve put in so much already. For me to be suspected of stealing santos or digging for gold, it’s like whoa! Guys wake up! I don’t see myself so superficial. We’re here to work for our country and not for ourselves. I believe in you [referring to Bohol] and I believe in my country.”

am working with her in her Bohol projects.

Too bad, some people here could only understand the language of "talangka mentality" Rumors  rumors here has hurt Ms Zobel.

Unthinkable but believe me, some people here are selling the idea that Ms. Zobel is eyeing for the treasure concealed daw in the church complex.

And she is spending millions for that lusy treasure?

Oh my! they better spin another believable tale.

Calle thanks for leading me here, I´m so busy with my sick in-laws, so I am relaxing now browsing this Forum.  I could remember the Zobel-Ayala family, they have a foundation in Davao City, a self-help program for unwed mothers. It is a beautiful handicraft project where bags, throw pillows, bed covers are made. Quilts and patching where the linens or clothes are of typical Mindanao motifs. They are unique not for mass production. I was even surprise to see them in Singapore shops. Nalimot nako sa ilang brand name kay dugay nako nawala sa Davao City.
I never doubt the sincerity of Madam Zobel´s intentions. So it surprises me if some tongues put malice on her work ? Why?
Was her work not explained to the community? She is an outsider, meaning a non-Bol-anon.Kon pasabton tingali ang mga mamomoyo kon unsa ang iyang tuyo, menos ang tahap. Kon mailhan nila nga para kini sa pagpalambo sa kultura sa ilang lonsod, makadayeg sila. I think informations to the locals are missing here. Could you put yourself in their situation? To do this is not too late.

There is a treasure but it's not buried under the church. It's in the people who respond positively to the call to uplift their conditions by making good use of their resources, culture and heritage.


I'm reminded of a story:

An old and poor dying farmer told his son, "Somewhere in our farmland, my father told me once, is a buried treasure. I was to skeptic to believe the tale. But who knows? Could it really be true?" And the farmer drew his last breath.

For the most part, the farmland had been uncultivated for years. The farmer was too sickly and weak, and the son chose to work in a low-paying job at a factory.

The son started to dig the hardened soil in search of the treasure. He toiled on the ground inch by hard inch. The days and weeks passed. He dug on every space of the land. But no buried treasure was found.

Frustrated, the son went back to his low-paying job.

Little did the son knew, that soon after the rain fell, the seeds which laid buried and locked under the hardened soil of the farmland which were now loosened by his digging, had finally been reached by the water and started to germinate. They grew and became lush and abundant. And when the season came, they were ripe for a bountiful harvest.

But the son was toiling in his low-paying job at the factory.

It is because people are tired of trusting other peoples motives. Our political system has to be blamed about this irresponsible attitude which seems to be normalized in our present societal set up. I know Bea's motive is true to her heart and soul. Why not give her a chance?

I think the problem starts with the community being left out in the discussions.

Not Ms. Zobel's fault perhaps because the locals should do tehir share in explaining and really explaining the meat of the project. This obviously happened but it was not done right.

So its even the Parish Pastoral Council that spun the first line of evil talk, if my sources are right.

Kinsa ang mga taga Baclayon, palihug pahibal-a ang nagdala sa simbahan, kay ang akong pagtoo, kon kini iwali sa Pari bisan usa ka Domingohan og i-print sa ilang newsletter,mahayagan ang mga katawhan, mahilom na sila ug si Madam Bea Zobel jr, dili na mahasol sa tabi-tabi.
This is a very goodwork and she needs support, moral support from the locals.  God bless.

Ayaw sag pahawa diha ug wa ka pay siguradong kabalhinan. Mind you, krisis karon sa ekonomiya. Ang Intel Philippines, hinayhinay na silang nagtiklop kay minos na ang ilang market prospects sa gawas ug sa sulod nasod nato. Daghan nang mga empleyado nila nga na retrench. Times are getting harder my friend, but surely this will pass when each of us still clings to our hopes using the strenght of our solid experience in life.

Belib gyud ko nimo Layman, murag speach ni Obama bahin sa ilang recession nga naa sila sa depth of winter "When nothing but hope and virtue could survive". Unya midugang siya pag ingon: "when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter, and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God’s grace upon us".

Balik ta sa kay Zobel, murag mao ni ang usa sa iyang mga projects sa Dauis Church last February 2008 nga iyang gi utilize ang shade sa mga trees. Di ba kiat?











Abi sa mga tao sa una ug Simbahan sa Dauis ang mi himo ani or budget sa Dauis Municipality kay wala man ni siya mag saba-saba ug walay publicity. Iya na lang ni nga gi buhat nga initiative. Karon pa lang bag-o na hibaw-an nga iya diay ni nga gasto.

Wow, nindot jamo. What a wonderful idea! It can attract more tourists to come (local and foreigners) and also it can generate income to  the town.

Everybody should support a noble cause. Purbida mga higala, this idea is like street cafes in Europe especially during warm sunny days, where people enjoy the fresh sea breeze and a hub point where friends meet. Bless this lady for improving the image of our towns in Bohol.

Mackyboy, I´m glad you provided us with pictures ( this is important to me).

regards to you and your family,
Manay

Manay,

Look at the similarity of the chairs. I wonder if those chairs in London were imported from the Philippines.

So any tourist from London will feel as if they were being transported with thier usual chair.

Manay, sa last nakong uli sa Guindulman, nananom mi ug mahogany didto sa mga upaw nga bukid sa Katungawan. Kusog kaayo mo tubo ang mga mahogany kung bakilid nga lugar. Ingon sa ig-agaw sa akong misis, tag-as na kuno.

I salute you Macky for your green ideas, mahogany grows fast and it brings good shades. Lots of chairs are mostly from China made in Vietnam. I asked a cafe owner and he said Phil products are expensive. They love to use lamps made out of Capiz shells imported from  Thailand.

Manay mao nay gi ingon ug sustainable forestry. Instead nga mamutol ka sa mga karaan nga lasang, imo na lang tamnan ang mga lugar nga walay kahoy.

Ang nakauna ani nga idea kanang mga anak ni nang Ellen Ladaran. Sa bata pa sila, ilang gipangtaman ug mahogany ilang yuta nga bakilid kay dili man maposlan. Sa pag minyo nila, naka harvest sila ug maoy ilang gi balay. Ila na pod gi tamnan ug utro para na pod sa ilang mga anak. Karon, daghan ang nanundog.

Manay balik ta sa likod sa simbahan sa Dauis. Kanang mga ga hang nga plastic, actually lights na. Kung gabii, dili siya ngit-ngit. Puede pod ipa patay ang lights para mag candle lights dinner gamit ang karaan nga rampanilya kadtong dako kaayo nga panahon pa sa kastila. Ang attire maria clara nga pina ulbo ang abaga. Unya ang background old Dauis Church, plus naa pay nag violin or guitara. Nindot kaayo kuhaan ug photography kini nga setting. Puera uwan lang kay bungkag, magkabuagsa. Hehehe

actually, nakaanha na ko diha sa cafe lawis sa dauis last december. ang convento ilang gitarung para madisplay ug nindot ang mga cultural legacies sa mga taga dauis ug sa mga bol-anon. merienda lang ila i-serve. nya, kung ganahan mo ug panihapon kinahanglan magpareserve mo daan para makapang mercado sila. hehehe

like my dinner in peacock garden resort in laya, baclayon, kami ra sad tawo sa cafe lawis. ang mga lingkuranan gawas sa convento gipanghipos siguro to kay wa man diha.

anyway, manay tess, i called up two friends from bohol but they don't know about the incidents in baclayon and in dauis.

layman, mao na ako gibuhat run. i already told my manager that im leaving the office but naghuwat pa ko sa ako appointment letter sa cebu. without it, dili sa jud ko muhawa diri sa government office ako gitrabahuan.

Calle,

If you are not happy with your present job, then it is wise to look for somewhere else where you can use your talents to the full, good luck and regards, ;)

Calle, akong advise nimo nga mag himo ka ug "Plan B" sa tanan nimo nga pagabuhaton. Kinahanglan kung duna kay plano sa pag sulod, duna sab kay plano unsaon pag gawas.

Gawas pa sa Plan "B", kinahanglan duna pod kay Plan "C" which is Contingency Plan. This is incase of unexpected incidents or events.

Parehas nako sa una nga nag pa-increase ko ug sweldo, so nag expect ko nga kung increasan ko ug sweldo mo daghan sab ang akong trabaho. So incase dili ko nila increasan, ankong decision nga mo resign ko. Pero naa na koy plano daan kung asa ko mo balhin ug trabaho. Mao kadto ang akong Plan B.

Ang akong Plan C nga mag daro na lang ko sa bukid ug mag tanom incase ma terminate ko sa akong mapangahasong gi buhat. Busa kadtong nag bakasyon ko sa una, akong gipa tuna sa basakan ang akong mga anak para mabuhi sila ug dili mag arte-arte. Nalingaw noon ang mga bu****, murag nag duwa sa beach. Gi porma pa nga sand castle ang lapok.

Am impressed as much I salute on the initiative to what Madame Bea Jr. has done to Bohol.

As I've read the article and analyzed how the community development project evolved, I've noticed  that there was a flaw as to the process involved in getting started.  A  forum must have taken place where noble plans have to be presented to the public, solicit their ideas wherein feedback shall be taken as  strategic basis in developing a project for a given locality.

Not because that she has the capacities nor have all the resources to synergize a development that a so called "consultative process" with the concerned community which is the direct beneficiary is not required.  Such absence is tantamount to disrespect to the sentiments and whatever beliefs of the folks.  Hence, Madame Bea should extend patience of the prevailing predicament as this was prompted due to her shortcoming in introducing "participative process" to induce change.

But I believe on the sincerity of Madame Bea.  I just pray that she would not be swayed by pessimistic views but rather strengthen her advocacy to be able to meet realization and success for her passion - that of building a self-sustaining community through heritage preservation and eco-tourism.

May God bless you Madame.
