Wow Bohol!

In fairness, ang ganda ng Pilipinas. Tapos, in general, mababait ang mga Pilipino. Friendly pa. Unfortunately for those of us who are here, we are reminded daily na ang pangit ng taste natin (sa elected officials), at para tayong si Dory ng Finding Nemo, may short term memory. Di matandaan ang lessons ng history. Kaya eto, 20 years after EDSA, we are complaining about the exact same things - corruption, dinayang eleksyon, disregard for the constitution, presyo ng galunggong. Nakaka-depress.

I'll just go on with my life, taking as little part in Philippine politics as possible. Maghahanap na lang ako ng mga maganda tungkol sa 'Pinas. Para sa kasiyahan ng mga taong andito pa rin (by choice or by force of circumstance). Starting with the beautiful places I've been lucky enough to visit, such as Bohol.

I was in Bohol early February this year. I stayed at the Bohol Beach Club (short review: so-so accomodations for the price, exorbitant kayak rates, good food, great beach, boracay-ish sand, where you can walk along the shore without bumping into someone). The great thing about Bohol is that apart from the great beaches, you can see old churches, historical places, the tarsier and the not-so-Chocolate Hills (at least at that time, as it was lush with trees and plants). Not to mention the chance to dance to the Pinoy Big Brother theme while on board one of the boats for the Loboc River cruise.
