• My visit to the northern part of Bohol has this scoop! A youth leader who works as a nurse was asked by leaders to run as mayor in the northern part of Bohol after the incumbent mayor failed to get the support from his vice mayor and councilors for the next year’s elections. They urged this youth leader to run because they believe that the youth leader is the only person who can crush down the mayor who’s getting richer, richer and fuller!
• Young ones and young once, the search for the Mr and Ms Teen Bohol is on May 28 at the Bohol Cultural Center. Ticket is only P50 (available at the SK Office, 2nd floor of the Capitol Building, Tagbilaran City). You can visit www.skbohol.com or call 411-5914.
• It’s never nice hearing that someone doesn’t like you, and personally, it
tears me up inside when I’m told I am bad. However, it is so funny when a person claims that s/he is the one in a blind item even if you’re not! And it’s so “degrading” when you “hunt” and “threat” the writer for believing a friend’s lies. For Pete’s sake, don’t react when you are not the one involved and you’re not sure it’s you…and if you’re not a who’s who.
• Could it be true that two good friends (“kasusyo” in business) are now parting ways under unpleasant circumstances? According to a Very Reliable Source (VRS), everything has been done to resolve the “issue” (where’s the money?) but it seems impossible to patch things up.

Our paper, The Bohol Chronicle, turns 55 years old!
The Bohol Chronicle has been a witness in the unfolding of our province’s history. As a chronicler of events and purveyor of information The Bohol Chronicle remains true to its mission of being a pillar of journalism for the benefit of the people.
The province takes pride in the distinction of The Bohol Chronicle as one of the respected newspapers in the country.
Monday morning was a “dilemma” when I was in elementary. Our grade five teacher, Mrs. Jesusa Servas, used The Bohol Chronicle in our class. In fact, we could not get inside the class if we didn’t have a news article copied from the newspaper. There were many times when Mrs. Servas unexpectedly asked us to report the news we’d copied.
Our school had not subscribed to The Bohol Chronicle though there were tons of tons of books and other educational materials from the Books for the Barrios in the USA because it is a Modern of Excellence School (MOE), however, we could not find a copy of the paper. To pass, what we did was to borrow the paper from the late Manny Oronan whose wife Mrs. Evelyn Oronan was a grade three teacher then.
Little did I know that our teacher used The Bohol Chronicle to instill lifelong love of reading.
Times passed, I had press release and news articles were printed in The Bohol Chronicle (I wish to compile them, if I have the luxury of time to dig the old archives, you know, for posterity). I even had the chance to meet the Chronicle founder the late lawyer Jun Dejaresco at his office.
The most unforgettable ( I hope you do remember!) article I’d contributed was the final episodes of the Rosalinda telenovela on June 4, 2000. I didn’t expect that the article would create “chaos” when it became a hot item in the radio gathering favorable and unfavorable comments from dyRD’s Tagbilaran By Nite and Inyong Alagad listeners the following day.
Years later…
The Bohol Chronicle welcomed Bared last year to balance our reader’s daily dose of news write-ups that are light, airy and bubbly.
Happy 55 years…and still counting!

TBTKish Gathering of our Paring Bol-anon, USA in NYC
T
here is another web portal --- http://tigumbolanontibuokkalibutan.blogspot.com ---for the Tigum Bol-anon Sa Tibuok Kalibutan (TBTK) for update and for a for the upcoming worldwide gathering of Boholanos in July. TBTK president Betty Veloso-Garcia says. “…Although we have already an official site at TBTK.ORG, it is our wish to explore some added venues to keep in touch with all the Boholanos worldwide and to expand our exposure in the WWW as modern technology continues to lend itself to an even more expansive means of communication with the availability of all these options right in front of us: quite a few popular names favored by many and others preferred by particular networking groups: that we can't leave anything anymore to luck, fate or chance of being found, read or googled... but to take a more proactive role in being more visible to and reachable by all whom we wish to have network with... and that is you, my dear friend, my dear Boholano and all the significant people around you.”
It is said that music is the food that feeds our soul. What a fitting delight to know that our TBTK Global Homecoming campaign promotion not just has its own official Theme Song, but its composer is no less a Priest, gifted with such extra-ordinary skill in music and among the Paring Bol-anon holding pastoral assignment abroad who is right now connected to a Louisiana Parish in the United States, in the person of Fr. Roel Lungay. Music was arranged and sang by Romy Ceniza Mascarinas, another talent based in Tagbilaran City.
Better still, such TBTK Theme Song was first aired during Tagbilarans fiesta celebration at Wyckoff, New Jersey where a big congregation of the Boholano community in the East Coast were in attendance last May 9, a Saturday. To everybody’s delight, touching the heart, mind and soul of every Boholano hearing the melody and the lyrics of the song that emits love of our home-province, our people and the invitation to be home this July for the grand celebration..
Such information is no less revealed by our TBTK Chairperson, Betty, who was invited as the Inducting Officer of the Tagbilaranon’s of Eastern USA headed by another Paring Bol-anon, Fr. Fernando Po, as re-elected President.
