Neal Patrick Joseph Ocampo

My life and business partner, Tim, and I had a great time! I booked a 10-day tour through Guide to the Philippines. At first, I just felt that handing over our precious holiday to someone else was a bit uncomfortable, but we are so glad we did! This team of passionate professionals did everything they could to ensure we had an incredible holiday! The tour itself was extraordinary. We traveled to Bohol, Cebu, El Nido, and Puerto Princesa, beautiful places here in the Philippines, where we got to partake in some great activities like island hopping, folk dancing, lunch while river cruising, snorkeling, volleyball, kayaking, swimming with whale sharks and feeding monkeys; possibly a bit too wild, as we also bolted on all of the additional extras like mangrove boating, zip lining, and hiking, but that was more us, biting off more than we could chew but we don’t regret a thing! All the staff, from the airlines to the hotel and the tour itself, even those I only talked to through email whenever I have questions, are outstanding at doing their job! They took care of us like we were friends for a long time. To share why I need to have this vacation, I struggled to produce creative thoughts for the past few months (March to April), and I had to postpone some of my plans due to my lack of motivation to accomplish many important agendas. During the vacation, however, after doing some cleansing, grounding, and centering works in El Nido and thanksgiving offerings to nature (we are animistic), both during our easy and free time and a 10-day business with a leisure getaway, I'm always fired on by ingenious and innovative thoughts. And the thing is, I don't feel drained and exhausted physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I can still work early in the morning until evening without checking my pulse to see if it is still beating. And everything I do is yielding positive results! I'm more than happy than ever! Knowing how a tour like this can help you escape challenging times is incredible. I actually like this routine and my newly gained stamina. I'm just amazed by myself now. So once again, thank you, Guide to the Philippines, for giving us such an adventure! I'm planning to take my whole team to El Nido next year, so I expect we will book another tour through your site!

Samantha Jane Roden

I did a 30day tour with Guide to the Philippines. Joymie took care of me from the minute I showed interest in booking, all the way through everyday my tour too. I was treated like an absolute queen everything was taken care off for me, internal flights, ferries, transfer at every pick up. Some lovely hotel, some exemptional ones too. The Filipino people are so warm kind & very friendly. The islands are just stunning. I give my experience with Guide to the Philippines 10/10.

Very nice trip. The tours are good. The city tour in puerto Pricessa was very poor.

Mark Nhiel D. Gregory

Overall, our Bohol trip was really amazing! Everything was well organised, and communicated. Accomodation (Modala Hotel), transport and tours guides were all terrific. Customer service is outstanding as well. I will definitely book again with GTTP in our future trips. Thank you GTTP team!

2024 BOHOL TOURIST SPOTS AND THINGS TO DO IN BOHOL + ITINERARY

by thepinay solobackpacker | Feb 15, 2024 | Bohol , Itinerary , Philippines , Tourist Spots , Travel Guide | 0 comments

This is a detailed blog of top Bohol tourist spots, and best things to do in Bohol with sample Bohol Itinerary (4 days and 3 nights). Also included here are suggested Bohol side trips and  where to stay in Bohol.

Bohol is like a compressed version of the entire Philippines – powdery white sand beaches, colorful marine life, azure lagoons, pristine waterfalls, mystical caves, sprawling rice terraces and gentle farmlands, carefully-preserved historical churches and age-old Spanish-era houses. That’s why it is no surprise why Bohol seduces thousands of tourists yearly. But what I like about this province is, despite its growing luxury trappings and the crowd it brings, most parts of the island remain tranquil and bucolic, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle.

If you’re keen on visiting or revisiting Bohol soon, here’s a quick travel guide on the best places to see in Bohol and top things to do in Bohol .

If you’re planning a Cebu-Bohol trip or Bohol-Cebu trip, you can save by getting a Cebu-Bohol Pass, where you can enjoy activities within the 2 cities, ferry, spa and tours. See the link below.

KLOOK CEBU-BOHOL PASS: BOOK HERE

TRAVEL BLOG CONTENTS

1.BOHOL LAND TOUR

If you’re a first-time tourist in Bohol, a practical way to see what the province has to offer is by joining a group tour.  This is quite “touristy” though, but I didn’t mind doing it, it’s a good way to see Bohol’s top tourist spots without emptying my wallet. There’s a bunch of local tour operators offering Bohol Land Tours , and they’re pretty affordable. Basically, you will be joining other tourists in a van and explore the island following a fixed itinerary that usually includes the following top attractions in Bohol.

I’ll write a more detailed travel guide on Bohol Land Tour ; this is just a summary. But here are 4 ways you can do the Bohol Land Tour:

1.1. BOHOL LAND TOUR BY TOUR PACKAGE

Now for Bohol Land Tour, you can book in advance through the link below to save you time and avoid the hassle of looking for a reliable tour operator once you’re in Bohol. You can join a group tour or book a private tour.

BOHOL LAND TOUR: RESERVE HERE

• Tour Duration:  9 hours whole day tour (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
• Tour Inclusion: Driver, Shared AC transportation/Van
• Excluded: Entrance Fees + Meals + Drinks + Personal expenses. See below.

IMPORTANT: Most cheap Bohol Land tours don’t include the entrance fees + the lunch buffet fee at the Loboc River Cruise Buffet Lunch. So, double check that with your travel agency before booking. Now if you’re booking through the link above, the *Bohol Land Tour mentioned the aforementioned fees are NOT included .  So, on top of the Bohol Land Tour fee, prepare the following amount per person:

• Regular ₱850 ($15.35) Senior ₱600 ($10.82) – Loboc River Cruise Lunch Buffet
• ₱150 ($2.71) – Tarsier Conservation Entrance Fee
• ₱100 ($1.81) locals, ₱150 ($2.71) foreigners – Chocolate Hills Entrance Fee

TRAVEL REMINDER: Also check with your tour operator whether you will be picked up at your hotel or you need to go to a certain pick-up location.

1.2. BOHOL LAND TOUR BY PRIVATE CAR

  If you have enough budget, and you don’t want to join other tourists. You can book a private tour for your group or rent a car to explore the island. I highly recommend this of you are a group of 3-4 persons. You can book rent a car through the link below.

BOHOL PRIVATE CAR RENTAL (WITH DRIVER): BOOK HERE

1.3. bohol land tour by motorcycle/scooter.

For those with thirst for adventure a motorbike trip in Bohol countryside is unforgettable. If you are a solo traveler and you know how to drive and you have a driver’s license, you can rent a motorcycle/scooter to explore Bohol, you can follow the Bohol tourist spots listed on this blog. Motorcycle/scooter rental in Bohol typically starts at ₱300 ($5.42) to ₱500 ($9/03) per day, gas not included, good for 1-2 persons. Check out my sample Bohol itinerary below.

1.4. DIY BOHOL LAND TOUR (By Public Transport)

If you are the adventurous type and you are on a budget, doing a DIY Bohol Land Tour is possible. I included how to get to some of the Bohol tourist spots here by public transport, see Access . You would have to take a combination of  local bus, jeepney, and tricycle.  I usually DIY whenever I solo backpack, but I opted to join a group tour because doing a DIY Bohol tour is quite a hassle since the public transportation in Bohol is pretty unreliable, this will take up more time. Quite possibly, you won’t be able to cover all the top attractions listed above in a day.

Also, tricycle is pretty expensive in Bohol, even for a short distance ride (5-10 minutes), you will possibly be charged ₱100 ($1.81) to ₱200 ($3.61). It’s like you are renting the entire tricycle. That’s the sad thing about Bohol. I asked some resort workers if they’re charged the same as they are locals, they said yes, unfortunately. I hope the local government can do something about this, perhaps imposed a fare tariff. I’ve read a lot of complaints from other tourists about this.

BOHOL LAND TOUR  – TOP BOHOL TOURIST SPOTS

Chocolate hills.

The picturesque Chocolate Hills is the poster boy of Bohol province attracting thousands of tourists every year. Reportedly, around 1,260 hills to 1,776 hills that are actually conical-shaped limestone mounds clad in grass peppered across a sprawling area. According to the plaque on the viewing deck, “ They were formed by the uplift of coral deposits and the action of rain water and erosion ages ago.”

There are 2 locations where you can view the Chocolate Hills.

• Chocolate Hills Complex in Carmen – This popular Bohol tourist spot is a government owned viewing deck located in Carmen. The photos above were taken in Carmen. If you are joining a Bohol Countryside group tour or private land tour, this is the place that is usually included in the tour itinerary.

• Location: Carmen, Bohol
• Access: If you want to do a DIY Chocolate tour, it is possible, but can take up a lot of time because local transportation in Bohol is unreliable. Anyway, here’s how to do it: make your way to Dao Bus Terminal in Tagbilaran. If you are staying in Alona Beach, you can ride a tricycle to take you there. Tricycle fare is about ₱200 ($2.61) depending or ride a habal-habal (motorcycle) for about ₱50 ($0.90). Negotiate and agree on the price before boarding because tricycles in Bohol are pretty expensive.  Once you reach Dao Bus Terminal, take a bus to Carmen.

LOBOC RIVER CRUISE

For first timers, one of the top things to do in Bohol is the Bohol River Cruise, where you’ll get to ride on a large boat and cruise along emerald green river of Loboc while feasting on sumptuous local dishes. And the most exciting part of the Bohol river cruise tour is the cultural show of the local dance troupe where tourists can join and dance Tinikling , a Filipino dance. There are also singers onboard serenading you while dining. Tipping is recommended.

If you book the Bohol Land Tour or Countryside Tour , this is usually included in the tour package. However, the buffet lunch fee is typically EXCLUDED, so you have to pay this separately. Once you arrive at the Loboc River Resort, you have to line up and pay for the buffet meal. You will get a ticket where your table number is written. Make sure you keep it and show it to the staff upon boarding the floating restaurant boat.

Nearby the Loboc River is another charming old church called Loboc Parish Church . If you still have time during your tour, drop by for a quick exploration and photo op.

*The cheaper tours don’t typically include lunch and snorkel gear + guide.

3.1. DOLPHIN WATCHING

About 20 minutes away from Alona Beach, the island hopping boat will take you near the spot where dolphins swim and play. Typically boats won’t go very near the dolphins to avoid disturbing them.

One of the reasons why Bohol is a tourist magnet because it exudes with dramatic coastlines and white sand beaches. This bountiful island is peppered with palm-fringed white sand beaches. If you have another day to spend in Bohol, you can relax and take a dip in its azure water.

• ALONA BEACH: The most popular and most photographed Bohol beach, where most island hopping in Panglao originate. Hugged by powdery sand and turquoise water, its coast is peppered with resorts that never stopped expanding. Downside is, this can be overly crowded during the dry season and dotted with island hopping boats. During the rainy season, it’s not that picturesque and the waves make it annoying to swim. Still, it remains as one of the top Bohol tourist spots.
• DUMALUAN BEACH: Another palm-fringed white sand beach in Bohol that is peppered with resorts along its coastline is Dumaluan Beach . Other tourists prefer this beach than Alona Beach because it has lesser crowd. There’s also a popular free diving site nearby – the Bohol Plane Wreck, just roughly 10 minutes away from South Palms Resort .

9. WATERFALLS HOPPING

Bohol is oozing with pristine waterfalls that is devoid of tourists, since they’re not typically included in the Bohol Countryside tours or on the list of best Bohol tourist spots.  Here are some of the waterfalls that can be reached from Tagbilaran or Panglao for roughly 30 minutes to 1 hour. They’re not usually on the list of the top Bohol tourist spots, but if you’re into waterfalls and have extra time, it’s worth checking out.

9.1. MAG-ASO FALLS

Though this waterfall is surrounded by a dense jungle, it’s not that high, only about 8-meter tall. It’s a popular swimming spot for the locals and the natural pool that served as a swimming area has been developed. Take caution when walking down the stairs because it is slippery.

9.2. CAMUGAO FALLS

Another enchanting waterfall in Bohol is Camugao Falls, a tall waterfall surrounded by dense jungle.  It’s unheard of when you talk about the best Bohol tourist spots.  It takes about 10-15 minutes’ walk to reach the cliff from the entrance, but be extra careful as the stairs down to the base of the waterfall can get slippery.

Bohol Firefly Watching (with South Farm Tour): BOOK HERE

11. hilltop 360 view park.

This is one of my favorite Bohol tourist spots and viewing area for Chocolate Hills and the mountains of Bohol. It’s actually a park with a cringe design, to be honest, but the scenic view here is unparalleled. We just stumbled upon this place during our drive in Bohol, searching for the government-owned viewing deck, and when we entered and saw the view of its surroundings, it was jaw-dropping.

We went to Hilltop 360 View Park pre-pandemic. So, I’m not sure if it’s still open because I can’t find any updated information about it. Their FB page is inactive. I tried texting their number but no response. I checked social media posts and latest photos I could find was back in 2021. So, if you happen to know if this place is already closed, please leave a comment below or private message me on Instagram. Thank you!

12. ANDA BOHOL BEACHES

About 3 hours’ drive from Tagbilaran and Panglao is Anda, Bohol.  This bucolic town is peppered with palm-fringed white sand beaches devoid of luxury trappings, that makes Anda one of the rising Bohol tourist spots.  It’s a nice place to just relax on the beach and enjoy subtle pleasures like the changing color of the sky and clouds at sunset. Here’s 2 of my favorite beaches in Anda, entrance is free for both beaches.

• Quinale Beach
• Talisay Beach

For more photos and mode details on Anda beaches and other attractions in this town, click the link below to read my Anda Travel Guide.

13. anda cave pools.

Because Anda, Bohol is believed to be made mostly of limestones, the geological activities overtime, along with heavy rains and weather, eventually formed the cave pools. You’ll be surprised that the town is actually peppered with a couple of cave pools that is now included on the list of best Bohol tourist spots. But since our time was limited, we only visited Cabagnow Cave Pool. For more details, check out my separate travel guide on Cabagnow Cave Pool.

• Cabagnow Cave Pool
• Entrance Fee: ₱20 ($0.36)

Other cave pools in Anda:

• Tibaw Cave Pool
• Cateres Cave Pool
• Combento Cave Pool

14. CADAPDAPAN RICE TERRACES

If you fancy the outdoors and taking off-the-beaten path, the sleepy town of Candijay will surprise you with natural and man-made attractions. Here, you’ll find the picturesque Cadapdapan Rice Terraces, now a popular Bohol tourist spot.

15.CAN-UMANTAD FALLS

• Open Hours: 7:00 AM -5:00 PM
• Tour Guide: Not required but available, in case you are alone and want someone to help you with your photos or videos. Or if you just want to help the local community, you can hire a local guide.

16.CANAWA COLD SPRING 

Canawa Spring is a turquoise spring in Candijay, Bohol. Not your typical Bohol tourist spot.  You can do this as a side trip when you visit Cadapdapan Rice Terraces and Can-umantad Falls. It’s about 15 minutes away by motorbike. The entrance is not particularly enticing as you will see a man-made swimming area.  But if you go further, you’ll see the undeveloped part under the tree with a clear turquoise water, perfect for a quick dip.

17. ASIN SA TIBUOK

  A Filipino artisanal salt made in Bohol with a sharp, smoky taste. This is done by soaking coconut husks in seawater for several months and burning them into a pile. It is usually done from December to May. You can visit the Asin sa Tibuok workshop in Alburquerque, Bohol. The Manongas family revived this ancient sal-making tradition in 2010 after it has disappeared in the 80’s. To order Asin sa Tibuok contact Veronica Salupan at +63907 1680 961.

18. DAUIS GOLD MAKERS

Though it’s not usually included on the list of top Bohol tourist spots, there’s more to see in Dauis aside from Hinagdanan Cave.  Did you know that Dauis has gold jewelry makers? Yes. There’s an ancient tradition here where the women create hand-crafted gold jewelry using the traditional stamping technique.

You can even buy the Dauis gold jewelry online now. Upon research, I found the online store named: Ermalaplatera, that creates jelwelry in Dauis. You can check them on Instagram at @erma.laplatera .

19. OTHER PLACES TO VISIT IN BOHOL

• President Carlos P. Garcia Heritage House
• Clarin Ancestral House
• Cloribel’s Ancestral House (Dauis)
• D’Original Osang’s Home-Made Pastries
• Catigbian D.A.T.E Park

BEST TIME TO VISIT BOHOL

Best time for me to visit Bohol is around January to March before the peak season. The weather is quite okay during these months, not too hot, and lesser crowd compared if you travel during April to May, which is the summer season in the Philippines.

Getting around bohol.

  I already discussed this above. There are 5 ways you can get around Bohol.

• By bus and jeepney – Buses and jeepney in Bohol are unreliable. They will eat up your time. But if you want to save money, this is the way to go.
• By tricycle – Tricycle is pretty expensive in Bohol, a short ride will cost you ₱100 ($1.80) to ₱200 ($3.61).
• By car rental – I’d recommend this if you’re a group of 3-4 persons, you can save more than joining a group tour that charges per person.
• By scooter rental – You can rent a motorbike or scooter in Panglao or Tagbilaran starting at  ₱300 ($5.41) per day. Gas not included.
• By group tour or private tour – If you’re a solo traveler or a party of 2, this is a good option, especially if it’s your first time in Bohol since you’ll be able to visit the top tourist spots in a day.

WHERE TO EAT IN BOHOL

  I don’t usually plan ahead where to eat when I travel. I dine wherever is nearby when I’m hungry or wherever my feet take me. LOL But if you’re a foodie, here are some restaurants that I’ve personally tried. I’m easy to please when it comes to food though, my palate is only picky when it comes to Japanese food.

• Paprika Restaurant – Latest restaurant I tried in Bohol is Paprika Restaurant at Donatela Resort. They have okay food, lots of choices. I especially love their fish ala plancha, salmon pappilotte, and truffle pasta. I like their complimentary breakfast too, especially the egg with hints of bacon. You can dine at al fresco at Paprika Restaurant and enjoy the view of the endless sea.

• Henann Alona Beach Restaurant – For Henann Resort in Alona Beach, they have dinner buffet for ₱898 ($16.20)  every Friday to Sunday, and ₱798 ($14.39) every Monday to Thursday. Unlimited drinks is ₱250 ($451).

• Saffron – This is the restaurant inside Amorita Resort. I tried it years ago.
• Giuseppe Pizzeria and Sicilian Roast
• Bohol Bee Farm Restaurant

Tour da yoop, eh to start in manistique.

MANISTIQUE — The 7th Annual Tour da Yoop, eh cyclists will embark on their epic ride of 1.203 miles around the Upper Peninsula soon. Cyclists leave downtown Manistique Friday morning, July 26 at 8:15 a.m. The full tour is composed of 10 stages, averaging 120 miles per stage with stays in nine host towns across the Upper Peninsula. Cyclists stay in each town for one night and in the morning it’s off to the next town.

The Tour da Yoop, eh biking adventure began in 2018, when James Studinger, founder of Tour da Yoop, eh set out to showcase the U.P. He outlined thousands of miles of safe biking routes in the U.P. and brought attention to it by biking 10 days and 1,200 miles around the entire Upper Peninsula, establishing the first Tour Da Yoop, eh ride. The tour has become an annual event and today its mission is to promote bike safety and raise awareness and money for Lions Childhood Cancer. Tour da Yoop, eh partnered with the Lions four years ago to help kids and families that are battling childhood cancer in the Upper Peninsula. Their mission is to raise $149,000 this year.

“The money we’ve raised these past few years have been to help families throughout the Upper Peninsula and we’ve been able to lend a tremendous hand,” Studinger said.

Bohol island, why you must visit bohol.

It is indeed true that not only apples keep the doctors away — nature does it as well. And when talking about serenity and off the beaten tracks, Bohol is definitely a place to be. From the depths of blue ocean to the warmth of the powdery sand, there’s more for you to savor throughout the year in this beautiful island province.

With the rich natural wonder that this archipelago beholds, it became one of the most popular tourist-friendly attractions in the Philippines. It is located in Central Visayas consisting of diverse sub-islands. Just so you know, Bohol is the tenth largest island in the country.

Just before this place was known for its superb on and off the shore experiences, Bohol has been a home of Carlos P. Garcia, the eighth president of the Philippines. A product of Boholanos’ ethnolinguistic intelligence and skills. And a proud descendant of the last group of settlers in the country called “pintados”.

Traverse into the world of adventure with the cute-bug eye tarsiers, tiny humpy hills, and breathtaking diving experience. You can also unwind under the shades of large coconut trees around the shore. More often, jumping to an escapade of ecotourism set up is one of the best ways to enjoy this island.

Also, try to know more about the diverse culture of Bohol by experiencing the beautiful lifestyle of their people. Eat like Boholanos. Talk like Boholanos. Celebrate like Boholanos. And have the best holiday journey you will ever have!

Most Popular Tours in Bohol

How is Scott Stapp preparing for Creed's reunion tour? Sleep, exercise and honey

In a new series  USA TODAY’s The Essentials , celebrities share what fuels their lives   whether it's at home, on the set or on the road.

It might seem like Scott Stapp is having a renaissance because of the massive success of Creed's summer tour .

But the frontman with the distinctive, thundering voice has been adequately busy this decade supporting his solo work – his fourth album, "Higher Power," arrived in March – while also prepping for Creed's The Summer of '99 Tour, which kicked off July 17 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Add to the agenda the 25th-anniversary edition of the band's 11 million copies-selling "Human Clay" album, the one that includes rock radio staples "Higher" and the Grammy-winning "With Arms Wide Open," arriving on Aug. 16.

The rerelease includes bonus tracks, alternate versions of hits and a previously unheard Creed concert from San Antonio in 1999.

"This is really going to show how we sounded in our prime," Stapp says. "And we feel like we're right back there now. Like our fourth album says, everything is coming 'Full Circle.'"

As Creed readied its 60-date tour – sold-out amphitheaters this summer, arenas in the fall – Stapp, 50, shared how he's balancing work and home life, as well as some of his essentials while on the road.

More: Is this the Summer of Rock? How tours from Creed, Def Leppard, others are igniting fans

How Scott Stapp juggles his job as a rock star and the 'Von Stapp' family

Stapp decided in 2016 to "make sure I was home more than I was gone" so he could be involved in his kids' daily lives, coach them in baseball and basketball and, when his youngest son, Anthony, was born in 2017, immerse himself in fatherhood.

Along with Anthony, Stapp is dad to Daniel, 14, Milan, 17 and Jagger, 25, who welcomed his own son earlier this year, Cash, which means Stapp is a grandfather as well.

The "Von Stapp" family, as Stapp calls his brood, will likely visit him on tour and "maybe there will be some surprises," he teases, shortly after mentioning the musical acumen of Milan.

"It's awesome. (My family) is the most important thing I've done in my life," Stapp says.

But there have been some adjustments given the double load of responsibilities promoting his solo work and being back with Creed.

"I've gotten a few, 'Dad, why are you gone all the time?' questions. It's a lot of work to tour and work a solo record and all that goes with it, and then rehearsals with Creed and partnerships and photo shoots," he says. "So dad's been pretty busy."

Exercise and rest aid Scott Stapp with sobriety

In the mid-2010s, Stapp publicly grappled with substance abuse problems and mental health struggles . His mixing of prescription drugs and alcohol eventually led to a psychotic break at the end of 2014 and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Given the unconventional lifestyle that accompanies road life, Stapp knows he has to be diligent to maintain his mental health and sobriety.

While he cites sleep as "the most important thing for a singer," he also delves into exercise, modifying his usual cardio work – which he'll get plenty of on stage – with more strength training.

"When I'm exercising, I get into a prayerful, meditative state. I don't listen to any music, I just like to clear my mind," he says.

He also eats healthy, "loads up" on vitamins and tries to rest his voice and not talk except for meet and greets with fans before a show.

"It's like an athlete during their season," he says. "I'm getting ready to enter my season."

Scott Stapp's Creed preshow rituals

Stapp has always shared the importance of faith in his life, and with his solo band, he leads the group in prayer a few minutes before showtime.

Before that, it's "quiet time" in his dressing room. He'll steam up the shower and do vocal warm-ups in the makeshift steam room.

He also stretches and paces, not out of nerves, but as a way of adrenalizing his body.

"It gets my blood flowing," he says.

What Scott Stapp needs on the road

The quest to eat healthily is evidenced in some of his food requests, whether before a performance or on the tour bus.

Coconut water, drinks with electrolytes, bananas and peanut butter are staples, as well as protein shakes, collagen peptides, turmeric and his "miracle cure" for an ailing voice – honey, sometimes stirred into hot water.

He also touts his exercise footwear, Nike Free running shoes , which he loves because of their lightness.

"I'd like to get in touch with Nike," he says with a laugh. "I have an idea for a stage boot."

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Three popular comedians standup for Hawaii Comedy Legends Tour

By Jon Woodhouse

For the Maui News

A trio of our most popular comedians, Andy Bumatai, Augie Tulba and Frank De Lima, have teamed for another round of hilarious standup with their “Hawaii Comedy Legends Tour” show at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on July 26.

Lately aiming his astute observations at local news and events on his “Daily Pidgin” podcast with James Mann, Andy Bumatai got his first major break when he replaced Rap Reiplinger in the legendary Booga Booga comedy troupe. The classic funny kid, he was known for his Bill Cosby impressions. “In fifth grade, for show and tell, I remember playing a Bill Cosby album and pantomiming,” he recalls. “The teacher and the kids really seemed to like it. So the next week I memorized bits and did them. I am dyslexic, so I had trouble with reading and math and all this kind of stuff. As a mechanism, I created this funny guy comedy thing, like I’m not stupid. I’m just messing around.”

Bumatai’s debut comedy album, “Hawaii’s First Stand-up Comic,” won a Hōkū Award for Most Promising Artist. Since his early days, he’s starred in the TV specials, “High School Daze” and “All in the Ohana.”

A two-time Hōkū winner, Augie Tulba is a staple on the local comedy scene, routinely selling out concerts across the state, including the Blaisdell Arena and the Hawaii Theatre.

“In 9th grade I almost flunked and my English teacher challenged me to do a speech contest,” Tulba recalls. “That changed my whole perspective on getting in front of an audience. It was kind of cool.”

A radio personality and actor, he was featured in Brian Kohne’s movies “Get a Job” and “Kuleana.” Since 2021, he has served as an Honolulu City Councilmember.

“Comedy is great, you go on stage and you get a nice high, and at the end of the night the best you get is, ‘what you did really helped me because I had a rough week,'” he notes. “That’s cool, but what can I do to make a definite impact?”

Performing for over 45 years, Frank DeLima has enjoyed a successful career poking gentle fun at racial differences. Some of his hilarious parade of ethnic characters have included Sumo wrestler Lolo Bono, forklift operator Tita Turner, accountant Glenn Miyashiro, and Portuguese Aunty Mary Tunta.

A 11-time winner of the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award for Best Comedy Album, he says, “I do the local style of humor that has been here from the plantation days. I believe that’s how our ancestors got along. They made comments about each other’s food and that’s how the ethnic humor started in Hawaii.”

Known for his parody songs, in recent years he released “Kona Low” based on “Let It Snow! in 2023, and “ 12 Days of Impeachment ” in 2020, based on the Christmas standard, “ The 12 Days of Christmas.”

One of his funniest releases poked fun at Hawaii’s fake missile alert with an interpretation of the Bee Gee’s “Staying Alive.” “You’ll Be Back” from the Broadway musical, “Hamilton,” was delivered as a message of encouragement to Hawaii students during the pandemic’s distance learning.

Any profits from his downloads benefit his Student Enrichment Program, which supports him touring the state’s schools, helping motivate thousands of students annually.

The “Hawaii Comedy Legends Tour” show takes place in the MACC’s Castle Theater on July 26 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $28, $38 and $47 (plus applicable fees), available at mauiarts.org.

Historic tour coming to mount pleasant.

Mount Pleasant Historical Society President Tom Haynes will open his home to guests during the annual “Celebrate America’s History” tour, scheduled for Aug. 3-4. Haynes’ residence is one of the village’s most beautiful homes, completed in 1884, organizers stated. Known as the J.H. Mercer/Bracken House, many of his antique furniture pieces originated in Mount Pleasant and Dillonvale. -- Contributed

Featured on the tour are 11 historic sites which guests will have the opportunity to visit, including an 1814 Quaker yearly-meeting house state memorial; the 1804 Harris-Bone log cabin; the 1830 Butler cottage and gardens, (a private home); and the 1835 Elizabeth House Mansion Museum.

The tour also will feature the 1840 tin shop; the 1846 Samuel Gill house; the 1856 historical center; the 1856 Mount Pleasant Friends Church; the 1850 and 1884 John H. Mercer and Bracken house, (a private home); the 1895 Burriss Fairlawn General Store; and the 1800s Irish Ridge Farm.

Irish Ridge Farm is a must-see on the tour, exclaimed historical society officials. The farm is situated half a mile south of Mount Pleasant, and located at 621 township Road 100. Tourists will go back in time to the 1800s. The time when it was once the farm of Isaac Thomas. Today, Irish Ridge Farm is the home of Bruce and Beverly Riddle, and their herd of 100 registered, black Angus cattle. One will experience firsthand what life is like on a working Ohio beef farm.

Guests will stroll through the 1849 post-and-pin bank barn, flower beds, rain gardens, barns and a collection of more than 50 antique tractors. Another of the farm’s historic preservation sites is a small, 1835 sugar house with a stone-built, maple, sugar arch.

Dr. Wayne Butler and his wife, Annette, will be opening their doors for those taking the tour, as well. The Butlers will allow access to their 1930 cottage and picturesque gardens. -- Contributed

“Visitors can easily imagine the sugar house being filled with steam and the smell of maple syrup,” officials commented. Guests also can visit on site the drovers’ encampment some of the early drovers traveled through the area. In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to taste some of the flavors being cooked on the site by Plain Jane’s Foods and Ohio Valley Chuck Wagon.

In the center of town lies the Burriss Fairlawn General Store. It is here that the Historical Society’s American patriotic uniform collection has been set up for guests to view.

Tourists are encouraged to stop by the gift shop in the Elizabeth House Mansion Museum for souvenirs and one-of-a-kind pottery pieces. Color and artwork are displayed at Paige’s Pieces, where handmade, quilted and fabric items are displayed and sold inside the 1830-40 living quarters of the Harris-Bone store.

Homemade lunches, including desserts and beverages, will be served both days in the comfort of the Samuel Gill House Tea Room.

This home is claimed to be the site of the Union Humane Society, an anti-slavery association first organized in 1815 by Benjamin Lundy in St. Clairsville. The lunch and Gill House tour are provided by the Women’s Missionary Fellowship of the Mount Pleasant Friends Church, officials said. Mount Pleasant has been designated as a national historic landmark district due to its ancestors’ contributions and involvement in the Underground Railroad.

Quakers denounced the evils of slavery very early on. The Friends Church, along with the Presbyterian, Methodist and African-Methodist Episcopal churches, established Mount Pleasant as a center for anti-slavery activity even before the Civil War.

As early as 1817, freedom seekers struck out for Mount Pleasant, where they were kindly received and aided on their way north to Canada. Still standing on Union Street are four Underground Railroad stations. America’s first anti-slavery newspaper, the Philanthropist, was written here. One of its writers was Benjamin Lundy who is referred to as the Father of Abolitionism.

A more unusual activity was the establishment of the Free Labor Store, where nothing raised or made by slave labor was bought or sold. The Mount Pleasant Free Labor Store is the only one left in existence. It is owned by Ohio History Connection and currently under renovation. The activities of Mount Pleasant citizens and others like them formed an interesting and significant chapter in the history of America and the righteousness for freedom.

Tour tickets will be sold at three locations, including the Elizabeth House Mansion Museum, located at 438 Union St.; the Burriss Fairlawn Store, located at 311 Union St.; and the Irish Ridge Farm, located at 621 township Road 100. Tickets will be $15 for adults. Children 12 and under will get in free with a paid adult ticket. All proceeds will benefit the Historical Society of Mount Pleasant. The society is a volunteer, nonprofit group established in 1948. Tour updates can be found on the FaceBook page Friends of Historic Mount Pleasant, Ohio.”

It’s day two of Amazon’s Prime Day , and plenty of shoppers are on the hunt for some good deals.

As folks click “add to cart” from the comfort of their own homes, let’s take a look at a development for the workers who help courier thousands of goods across the country ( often at great personal risk ). These jobs are sometimes seen as just that — jobs, rather than careers.

But Amazon has pledged to spend $1.2 billion to provide free skills training to about 300,000 Amazon employees. Part of that is an apprenticeship program for running and fixing robots at company warehouses, with hopes of future career advancement for participants.

To learn more, “Marketplace Morning Report” host David Brancaccio spoke with J. Ofori Agboka, Amazon’s vice president of People Experience and Technology. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.

David Brancaccio: Let’s say you’ve got a job picking in an Amazon warehouse, but you would like more for yourself. Tell me about this program.

J. Ofori Agboka : I’m actually right now at one of our newest fulfillment centers that’s opening up where, you pointed out, people will be sorting and picking and stowing, but they’re gonna be working alongside some amazing robots. And so our apprenticeship program is a three-month in-class, technical learning, online learning, experiential learning, and then … hours of on-the-job training to get you upskilled, knowledgeable and comfortable with working with and around the machinery to keep these robots moving, working properly, and coming on to the next generation.

Brancaccio: Well, that’s great. So tell me about upskilling. A current Amazon employee can apply for this apprenticeship training?

Agboka : We’ve committed $1.2 billion in free education and skills-based learning for our employees. So, if you have the aptitude to learn, you want to try something new. You don’t have to come with a technical background. We want to make it easy for people to learn.

Brancaccio: I see, and you are still paid by Amazon during the training program? You don’t have to take time off for the classwork?

Agboka : Yes, you’re paid. So you don’t have to take time off. This is a paid program for our employees to get the skills and development they need to make sure they’re fully equipped in that Mechatronics robotics field.

Brancaccio: If you successfully complete the program, you can move into a job that represents a raise from what you might have been getting before the program.

Agboka : Absolutely. Our employees who have graduated this have seen increases in pay of up to 40%. This new technology has created job opportunities for roles that we didn’t know previously should exist, but now we know they should exist.

Brancaccio: I know Amazon has struggled with high turnover rates for employees. So there might also be, you know, along with the possibility that employees take the Amazon training and then move on to a different company with the new skills, there must be a hope that you’ll also keep a bunch.

Agboka : Well, definitely. We plan with opportunity in mind that, “Hey, these are jobs that will also benefit Amazon.” As a 2023, we have 100% conversion rate into job placement after the program completion. So we’re very proud of what we’re doing there before.
