East Philippines One Life Adventures - 10 Day Tour

This was a great tour! I did the Philippines 14 Day tour with One Life Adventures back in 2022 and I think this may even be a better tour than that! This tour has made me realise how amazing the Philippines is and how good of a job One Life does at crafting their tours. Always an experience that I could not do on my own, always an amazing tour guide, and always other travellers that are looking for the same as me! Thank you Rachael and One Life.

The Beauty of the Philippines 10 Days

12 Days Ultimate Manila and Cebu - Philippines Island Hopping

The trip was amazing and recommended, but for future travelers, we recommend the following changes to the itinerary. 1. On the day you travel from Manila to Bohol, instead of going in three different cars, a flight to Cebu and a Ferry, you should just take a flight from Manila to Bohol airport, which is just 15 min from Bohol South Beach resort. 2. On the day you travel from Dumaguete to Cebu, you should stop at the falls, and spend a night in Moalboal (instead of Cebu), the next morning you should do the island hopping and after that drive to Cebu for 2 nights. That arrangement will save about 7 hours of travel on the day you go to Bohol and another 7 hours driving on the day you travel from Cebu to the falls.

The oldest stone church in the Philippines, the Baclayon Church was completed in the year 1727. It was made up of coral stones hauled from the sea and egg whites were used to cement the stones together. You can also view religious artifacts in the museum.

Tarsier Watching

The cute and cuddly tarsier is considered as the world’s smallest primate, and can only be found in South East Asia. Its large eyes helps it to hunt insects for food and its long fingers allow it to climb trees with ease.

Loboc River Cruise

Experience the enchanting Loboc River Cruise! Enjoy a sumptuous lunch in one of the floating restaurants while being treated to musical entertainment. Of course, the scenic view of the river itself is well worth the trip.

Man-Made Forest

The Man Made Forest is located in the border of Bilar and Loboc towns. It is considered as the first and only man-made forest in the Philippines, and has thousands of mahogany trees. You can have some pictures taken amidst the thick vegetation or go hiking.

Chocolate Hills

Considered as Bohol’s most famous tourism landmark, the Chocolate Hills consist of over 1,200 mound-shaped hillocks in various sizes. The grass turns chocolate-brown during the summer, thus the name “chocolate.”

Butterfly Conservation Center

The Butterfly Conservation Center hosts thousands of butterfly species in different colors and sizes. You can see butterflies in various stages of development, and stroll through the garden and watch the butterflies flying around.

Souvenir Shopping

After a tiresome but enjoyable day, think about your friends and loved ones at home, and don’t forget to buy some Bohol souvenirs for them. You can buy great items ranging from Bohol-themed shirts to tarsier keychains to delicious Bohol delicacies.

Loboc Adventure Park

Python in Captivity

Meet “Prony,” the largest python in captivity. Before you get scared, you should know that Prony is harmless and you can actually touch her without any fear. Once a month, her owner prepares a small pig as Prony’s meal.

Developer gets Bohol pond upgrade job

Thursday, 16 May 2024

Land sale to housing developer done without proper legal procedures, Kg Bohol group claims

Residents gather to protest proposed development at kg bohol flood retention pond area, residents show disapproval for housing project at bohol pond site.

A DEVELOPER has been awarded the tender to upgrade the Bohol flood retention pond.

The developer has also received approval to develop the area adjacent to the land reserved for the retention pond.

Federal Territories Land and Mines Office (land registration sector) deputy director Mohd Firdaus Ibaruslan stressed that the arrangement is not a land swap deal.

“Besides forking out RM40mil to upgrade the pond, the developer still needs to pay RM41.7mil for the premium 10.5ha land it will be developing.

ALSO READ: Outrage over loss of Bohol pond

“The developer is finalising details for the pond upgrade, expected to be completed in a month.

“The construction of the upgrade will take five months," he added during a media briefing in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday (May 16).

Mohd Firdaus said an additional of 0.85ha of land will be gazetted as land reserved for retention pond.

“The current land reserve does not include the space and water inlet and outlet of the pond.

“Additional land has to be use to cater for that,” he added.

StarMetro reported on April 29 that new development plans had emerged at Kuala Lumpur’s second-largest flood retention pond.

This was nearly a year after the Federal Government stopped a similar proposal by the previous administration to allocate the land to a private developer.

ALSO READ: Residents gather to protest proposed development at Kg Bohol flood retention pond area

PTGWP, in a tender notice at the beginning of the year, called for bids to design and upgrade the 63.45ha Bohol flood retention pond in Seputeh for alienation under Section 76 of the National Land Code (Act 828).

PTGWP published the tender notice on its website, inviting companies to submit bids for the project to facilitate the construction of a massive housing project.

Six plots of land totalling 10.85ha are being alienated on Lot 102996 for a development project consisting of Federal Territories Affordable Housing Project (Rumawip), residential condominium and Madani housing.

The Attorney General’s Chambers published a notice in the Federal Government Gazette on May 8, announcing the proposed revocation of the land reservation for public purposes under Section 64 (2) of the National Land Code (Act 828) for Lot 35309 measuring 24.79ha.

Mohd Firdaus said the current retention pond site is hilly and unsuitable to be made into a retention pond.

“The current capacity is 150,000 cubic metres, and we plan to upgrade it to 1.13 million cubic metres, which will increase the average occurrence interval (ARI) to 200 from the current 100 ARI.

“If we do not engage a developer, upgrading would be slow.

“This is because the Bohol retention pond is just part of the 40km local flood management plan from Serdang to Puchong by the Drainage and Irrigation Department (JPS)”, he said, adding the process might take one or two years.

According to the briefing, the pond will function as a retention pond and a recreation pond for surrounding development.

Upgrading the pond also subjects the developer to a 2-year defect liability period.

The pond upgrading project will also be fully borne by the developer.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the pond will be upgraded before any development occurs.

“The pond upgrade is needed to address flash floods in the area,” she said.

Zaliha added that engaging a developer for the project helped provide affordable housing, such as Rumawip and Madani housing, to the low-income group.

“This is in line with the government’s policy to create more affordable housing for the people so that they can live in the city comfortably.

“With the expensive land premium in the city, it is difficult to obtain affordable housing for the prices,” she said

Bohol Countryside Tour: Chocolate Hills, Top Attractions, What to Expect, Activities

Best Time To Go to Bohol for Countryside Tours

How to get to bohol, what to expect: bohol countryside tour itinerary, chocolate hills, philippine tarsier sanctuary, loboc river cruise, bilar man-made forest, bohol churches, travel tips for bohol countryside tours, what to wear, other attractions and activities near bohol countryside tourist spots, mag-aso falls, abatan river firefly tour, hinagdanan cave, danao adventure park, camugao falls, bohol bee farm.

Bohol is one of the most visited destinations in the Philippines, and one of the most popular tours that travelers go on when visiting the province is the Bohol countryside tour.

Going on  Bohol countryside tours is perfect for first-timers on the island, as it includes stops in some of the most famous tourist spots in Bohol , including the Chocolate Hills , Tarsier Sanctuary, and the Bilar Man-made Forest. It also features one of the most popular Bohol activities for tourists, Loboc River cruise tours which usually include a buffet lunch and a performance from the locals.

Even if it's not your first time in the province, adding a Bohol Chocolate Hills tour to your Bohol itinerary is still a great idea, as not all countryside tours offer the same stops. Some also include stops at Bohol heritage sites like Baclayon Church and Albur Church. It can also be an entirely different experience if you go on this tour during different times of the year, as the most famous stop, the Chocolate Hills , changes colors depending on the season

The best time to go on Bohol Countryside Tours is during the dry months of December to May. During this time, there's less chance of rainfall which can affect your tour, which is mostly outdoors. 

The dry season is also the best time to go on a Chocolate Hills tour , as this is when the hills have their signature chocolate brown color. During the rainy season, grass grows on the hills, giving them a less chocolatey green color.

There are various options on how to go to Bohol, depending on your origin-destination. You can choose to ride a plane, ferry, or travel by land:

Photo by Philippine Airlines

A quick way to get into the island of Bohol is going on a flight headed to the Bohol-Panglao International Airport (TAG). If you're coming from Luzon or Mindanao, this is the most convenient way to go to the province as you can easily book a direct flight from Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), Clark International Airport (CRK), or Davao International Airport (DVO).

If you're coming from the Visayas Region, you can book a ferry from other Visayas destinations like Cebu , Dumaguete , and Siquijor to the Tagbilaran Port or the other ports in Bohol. You may also go on a ferry to Bohol from Camiguin Island in Mindanao. 

The typical Bohol countryside tour will take you to Bohol attractions that are inland. Depending on the itinerary, the tour usually takes around 6 to 8 hours, so it will take up a considerable amount of time in your day. Make sure you plan accordingly. 

Here are some of the beautiful places in Bohol that you can expect to see on a Bohol Countryside tour:

When it comes to tourist attractions, the Chocolate Hills is one of the best of Bohol. Comprising over 1,000 symmetrical and conical hills, the tourist spot covers an area of over 50 square kilometers across the three towns of Carmen, Batuan, and Sagbayan. These hills go brown during the dry season, making them look like gigantic Hershey's Chocolate Kisses, hence the name.

According to local legend, the hills were formed because of a fight between two giants. They hurled dirt and rocks at each other, and the result was the Chocolate Hills. There is no proven explanation of how the hills were formed, but some scientists believe that it was caused by an uplift of coral deposits. Another theory is that the area used to be covered by the sea, but the movement of tectonic plates made the sea retreat, and with the help of erosion, formed these hills.

The Chocolate Hills are declared as the Philippines' 3rd National Geological Monument and, along with a tarsier, is featured on the PHP 200 bill.

A countryside tour will usually take you to a view deck so you can see the hills, and most tours stop at the Chocolate Hills Complex Viewpoint in Carmen. If this is where you'll be viewing the hills from, be prepared to climb over 200 steps to reach the deck. The trip is worth it, though, as you'll be rewarded with a 360-degree view of the Chocolate Hills. Don't forget to take a photo as a souvenir!

See our popular Chocolate Hills Tours

If you want to know where to see tarsiers in Bohol, a good place is the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary. Located in Corella and managed by the Philippine Tarsier Foundation, Inc., this tarsier sanctuary Bohol is known for being home to these endangered primates and is dedicated to saving their lives. Here you can see the tarsiers in their natural habitat, where they can reproduce and live a rich life.

However, these delicate creatures are sensitive and bang their heads against the tree trunks when stressed, so when visiting the sanctuary, remember to keep quiet, not to disturb the tarsiers, and refrain from using flash when taking pictures.

Bohol private countryside tour with loboc river cruise buffet & transfers.

One of the top things to do in Bohol , a Loboc River Cruise is a staple in the Bohol countryside tour itinerary. Not only will it allow you to take in beautiful views of palm trees, the sky, and the water as you go on a slow cruise along the river, it will also allow you to take a peek into the local heritage and culture of Bohol as the cruise usually comes with a lunch of local dishes and a musical folk presentation from the locals.  

See our popular Loboc River Cruise Tours

As its name suggests, the Bilar Man-made Forest was the result of a reforestation project that was started over 50 years ago. Located along the towns of Bilar and Loboc, the forest stretches for over two kilometers. This Bohol man-made forest made up of red and white mahogany trees is usually the stop right before or right after the Chocolate Hills. Because of the shade that the density of the trees provides, it's usually cooler in this area, making it the perfect spot to cool off. 

Many tour vehicles stop on the side of the road so travelers can take photos of the seemingly endless stretch of mahogany trees, but keep in mind that the road is still a highway, so watch out for passing cars.

Not all tours include stops to Bohol's churches, but for those that do, you can expect to visit either Baclayon Church or Albur Church. Baclayon Church, or The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary Parish Church, is a declared National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines.

Albur Church, also known as the Santa Monica Parish Church of Alburquerque, was deemed a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Institute. Both churches are beautiful and give visitors a peek of what Bohol looked like in the past.

Take note of these travel tips before you go on your Bohol countryside tour:

Like most tourist spots in the Philippines, Bohol and its attractions are generally safe for tourists, but it would be best if you stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Be cautious when interacting with strangers who are not part of your tour.

You'll be mostly spending time outdoors, so make sure to wear something light and breathable. You'll likely climb some steps to get to the view deck of the Chocolate Hills, so it's also advisable to wear comfortable shoes as well.

The Bohol countryside tour lasts several hours, so it's best to pack your own bottle of water and snacks to keep you energized during your entire tour.

You might also want to pack a power bank for your gadgets to keep them powered up for the whole trip.

On that note, pack light and remember only to bring necessities so you won't have to bring a heavy bag around with you as you explore.

Bohol island hopping private tour to balicasag & virgin islands with dolphin watching & transfers.

ONLY ON ABC13: A closer look at southeast Texas' 1st wind farm ahead of its ribbon cutting ceremony

WHARTON COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Down Highway 59 in central Wharton County, 48 towering turbines are now spinning at the Prairie Switch Wind Project . The first of its kind will come to southeast Texas, and Only On 13 will you see behind the scenes at the site before a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week.

Greg Calhoun, the managing director at Fengate, the company behind the energy project, told ABC13 that these wind turbines were specially designed for this location, accounting for the wind, heat, cold, and thunderstorms.

Since these are the first turbines to come to our region, ABC13 Meteorologist Elyse Smith wanted to know if they could withstand the storm-force winds we face here in southeast Texas.

"So these turbines at certain wind speeds, if the wind is too strong and hurricane winds, the turbines would shut down so they wouldn't operate for safety reasons," Calhoun said. "When you cite renewable projects and power projects near the demand for electricity, it's better because you don't have to build as many transmission lines."

Furthermore, he noted the need for reliable energy resources to support the energy infrastructure in Texas, specifically Houston.

The Prairie Switch Wind Project in central Wharton County can power over 50,000 homes annually with clean, green energy. Yes, that power goes directly into the grid.

The turbines will produce 160 megawatts of power sent right into the Texas grid, bringing more than power resiliency for our communities. Fengate tells us the project created 200 jobs and has invested $12 million into the local economy.

These turbines have a lifespan of 35 to 40 years and produce more than $60 million in tax revenue.

Scottie Scheffler stretches in jail cell, shoots 66 following arrest at PGA Championship

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Few days in PGA Tour history have been as bizarre and surreal as Friday.

With a steady rain casting a gloomy backdrop for the second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, Scottie Scheffler stepped onto the tee box at the 10th hole to a loud ovation, chants of "Scottie, Scottie, Scottie …"

And an occasional "Free Scottie."

The world's No. 1 golfer, a man guided by his Christian faith, was arrested about three hours before striping that tee shot about 300 yards into the thick, soupy air, his situation triggering a chain of events as unexpected as one of the club pros winning this event.

Or as unexpected as a man shooting a 66 in a major championship after his opening tee shot came about 90 minutes after he was released on his own recognizance from police custody.

That bizarre scene was the result of a tragedy that Scheffler and every golfer referenced and made sure was not overlooked when asked about the morning's events.

Scheffler was attempting to enter the grounds about an hour after a man heading to his job as a vendor was struck by a shuttle bus while crossing the road. John Mills, of Louisville, was pronounced dead. He was 69.

Before he said anything about his situation or his round, Scheffler offered his sympathies to the Mills family.

"I can't imagine what they're going through," he said. "My heart … I feel for them. I'm sorry."

Recent: Here's what Scottie Scheffler said of 'chaotic' misunderstanding in PGA Championship arrest

Scheffler used the word "chaotic" eight times during his post-round news conference, and said the situation was a "misunderstanding" and would be "handled."

And chaotic also described the scene on the course as Scheffler was followed around by thousands of loud fans all day, some already sporting T-shirts with Scheffler's mugshot, others having used black marker to inscribe "FREE SCOTTIE" on their shirts.

Unfazed by that chaos, Scheffler stuck his second shot of the day within 3 feet of the pin. He opened with a birdie on that par-5 10th hole,.

Then, after a bogey on No. 11, he drained a 27-footer for his second birdie.

When the round ended, his card included six birdies and that bogey on his second hole.

"It probably took a few holes to feel normal," Scheffler said. "As far as best rounds of my career, I would say it was pretty good.

"I definitely never imagined ever going to jail, and I definitely never imagined going to jail the morning before one of my tee times for sure."

This is a rare athlete who has mastered the art of compartmentalizing since his meteoric rise that started just two years ago and now has him firmly in the No. 1 spot in the world ranking.

That being said, he did play with a heavy heart for John Mills.

"Coming out here and trying to play today was definitely a challenge, but I did my best to control my mind, control my breathing," he said.

Scheffler offered "numerous" apologies, telling the police he was just trying to get to his tee time. And he said he never used his name. "At no point did I try to name-drop myself to defuse the situation," he said.

While he knew there was an accident as he was pulling into the club, at that time he did not know there had been a fatality.

"My main focus after getting arrested was wondering if I could be able to come back out here and play," he said. "And fortunately I was able to do that."

Scheffler finally arrived at the course about an hour before his tee time, which was pushed back 80 minutes because the main access road was closed for more than an hour after the accident. After a quick breakfast, he walked through the gathering crowd to the range.

Every step was met with cheers, shouts of encouragement and a few snarky comments comparing his mugshot to Tiger Woods' from Tiger's 2017 arrest in Jupiter on DUI charges.

Scheffler appeared loose and even smiled a few times while talking with his caddie, Ted Scott. He gladly accepted a fist bump from Rickie Fowler on his way to the range.

His memories of his trip to jail were trying to get loose in the cell by stretching — "a first for me," he said — and watching himself on the television in the holding cell.

He said it took about an hour to stop shaking.

"I was pretty rattled, to say the least," Scheffler said. "The officer that took me to the jail was very kind. He was great. We had a nice chat in the car that kind of helped calm me down.

"I was sitting there waiting to kind of go in and I asked him … 'Hey, excuse me, can you just come hang out with me for a few minutes so I can calm down?' I was never angry. I was just in shock, and I think my body was just … I was shaking the whole time. I was shaking for like an hour. It was definitely a new feeling for me."

The decision to play was left up to Scheffler and there never was a doubt.

"My manager asked me if I wanted to, and I was like, 'Of course,'" he said. "Then we just came here and got ready to go play."
