Why Every Filipino MUST Visit Bohol


'Wag maging turista sa sariling bayan.' This age old saying should be enough to send us all traveling, right? No! It took me thirty years before I ran out of valid excuses not to tour the Philippines but, three days and two nights in Bohol were enough to convince me to see more of the world. Here are some reasons that could convince you to take that flight:

1.Stay global warming free amidst the tall, lush trees of the three-hectare Man-made Forest.

2.See bermuda grass covered lawns and gardens in almost every where you look.

3.Greet oral healthy Filipino Buko King. He'll gladly open up a coconut for you using his really best pearly whites.

4.Conquer your fear of heights at the Hanging Bridge, which spans the bluish green Loboc River.

5.Fly over 1,268 giant chocolate hills

6.Be refreshed while having an extravagant lunch on a banca cruise down Loboc River. The soothing serenade and relaxing sound of the river were enough to take all my worries away.

7.Cover yourself in fine, white sand at the Alona Beach named after actress Alona Alegre who went dipping in the pristine shores of Panglao Island.

8.Feel centuries gone by through the walls of a 400-year old edifice at the Baclayon Church built in 1596.

9.Hear angels sing at the Loboc Church, home of internationally-acclaimed Loboc Children's Choir.



10.Wonder at how an ordinary field could hold deep treasures at the Hinagdanan Cave. God was so awesome, He put a lake underneath a stalagmite covered-sky.

11.Know how to say thank you through sign language at the Dao Diamond Hotel where our hardworking deaf and mute brothers and sisters work on.

12.Find out how small the world's smallest primate is, the tarsier.

13.Learn from the bees at the Bohol Bee Farm, an organic farming haven where you can also lodge and dine in supreme comfort and warmth.

There are still the dolphins and butandings to persuade you to come and visit them in Bohol. Really, travel to Bohol and find out how superbly blessed we are.
