Bohol Tourism Back In Business

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Bohol’s tourism industry is well on its way to recovery with the reopening of the Loboc River Cruise last 24 October 2013, which had an unexpected turnout of walk-in visitors outnumbering those invited. Other attractions that have reopened include the Tarsier Habitat and the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) Region 7 office reports that roads leading to most of the tourist attractions are now passable, with roads from Tagbilaran City to Carmen via Corella already open to light vehicles (cars and vans). Most tourism establishments have also resumed operations, and owners are discussing measures on how to implement the swift turnaround of their businesses. These include providing alternative routes and tours, as well as promotional offers.

During her visit to Bohol last Friday, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Country Mission Director Gloria D. Steele committed USAID’s support by extending technical assistance to the DOT and Bohol stakeholders in the preparation of a recovery plan for the Cebu-Bohol Tourism Development Areas (TDAs). DOT Region VII Director Rowena Montecillo gave an initial post-disaster assessment, while the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) evaluated the impact of the earthquake on the access and discussed the rehabilitation measures needed in support of the tourism program.

WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo : A Dual-Drive Storage System

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We were invited for a product demo at the WD Digital Lifestore, the concept store of WD at SM City North EDSA in Quezon City. The store is located at the SM Cyberzone located at the SM City Annex building.

A friend and I came from several events that day but we made sure to catch up on the activity. Though we were so late to have some complimentary snacks, and missed on a chance to win a device from WD via raffle they held for the attendees we were still treated with a demo of the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo  - a dual-drive storage system from WD.

We regret being late, but promises to make up for the awful tardiness...Yeah, we are to blame because we had too many event invites that day and could not have the guts to decline.

Every event was just too good to pass so we really tried our best to attend all or even just catch a small portion of each.
