The Real Bohol
AMONG THE MAJOR TOURIST DESTINATIONS in the Philippines, the island of Bohol is a pioneer in eco cultural tourism-an environment-friendly business enterprise organized, managed, and promoted by the local residents through nature conservation and education, cultural heritage preservation, and improvement of the community's quality of life.

Traveling to Boholis incomplete without witnessing the grandeur of the Chocolate Hills and the majesty of the Loboc River and getting a glimpse of the Philippine Tarsier. However, these “front door" attractions of Bohol are simply the tip of the iceberg. Beyond them are destinations and sights where you can relax, learn, and experience the true beauty and day-to-day life of the island.
I made my journey on invitation by our nongovernment organization (NGO)'s partner, the Bohol Alliance of NGOs or BANGON Eco-Cultural Tours, to visit its eco-cultural enterprise project in Bohol. I stayed at the Darunday Manor (22 J.A. Clarin Street, Tagbilaran City, Bohol; tel. +6348 411 2512; www.darundaymanor. com), the only pension house that promotes Bohol’s ethnic handicrafts and visual arts. The place serves mostly organic and Boholano food, and an overnight stay there is for about 1,200 pesos (US$30) on twin-sharing basis.
