The central Visayas city
that has held on to its roots resisting the pressure of urban influence.
Churches are well preserved.
People move in habal habal with stray dogs still in downtown’s city streets.
Crossing islands over sea surface main transports in sea vessels and fishing
boats.
They proudly connect
with their rich and unique language, their version of Bisaya.
But soon, the people's
value of faith, tradition, for family and community centeredness, kindness and
honesty will be replaced with entrepreneurship, ownership, speed eventually
letting go of its heritage.
Unless its hold for simplicity is stronger than the
force of convenience, keeping up and complexity.
Leaving Bohol, I thank
you for your unique and warm hospitality.
