TAGBILARAN CITY — Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte urged Boholanos on Friday to support the new administration to improve Filipinos’ condition.

“Let us keep one another in friendship, prayer, and pride as we take the next steps of recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. I ask the Boholanos’ support as the new administration makes decisions in our best interest,” she said during the 168th Bohol Day celebration held at the Bohol Cultural Center.

Duterte hoped that Bohol’s collective harmony and faith would overcome challenges and spread across the country.

“Bohol is always a welcoming place, a new home for others, and home of the finest spots in the global lieu, glistening in its continued motivation, culture and tradition and faith. The entire Bohol will blossom, blossom again, blossom more…,” she said.

Duterte visited the Clarin National School of Fisheries where she met with local officials and the Department of Education to talk about the repair, reconstruction, and renovation of classroom buildings destroyed by Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai) in December 2021.

Duterte’s last visit to Bohol was in 2019.

Bohol Gov. Aris Aumentado said, “Boholanos are ruled by a spirit of never dies.”

“Treat a Boholano with respect and kindness, and he will open his humble home for you as a long, long lost brother… And you will enjoy the hospitality of Si Katuna,” said Aumentado

Bohol became a separate politico-military province from Cebu on July 22, 1854.
