Baskets market, Antequera, Bohol, Philippines

More than a decade ago i started to stay in Bohol to work out for my college and masteral diploma, in one of the universities of the Island.

The entire island was a haven of beauty and nature. the Boholano ambiance is really there to every place of the island, most specially the hospitality of the people.

Hence, the panoramic view of Bohol's premier beach resorts, chocolate hills,hinagdanan cave was realy a breath-taking experience.

Recently I went to Thialand to visit the famous Phuket island, somehow to give distinction, but i found it so wonderfully to be in Bohol.

The only difference is Bohol is part and affected by the negative image of the Philippines.

If we can't make remedy out of this negative image of the Philippines, then better to market Bohol, for tourism and business, not part of the Philippines.

Market Bohol as Bohol island not closely associated to the Philippines so we can attract more tourist to come.

International tourists are hesitant to come and visit Bohol because of war and terroristic perception for the Philippines.

Education understands us how to make his decisions according to the norms and values of society in which we are living and whom we are participating so that there will be positive effects. Education is a way of dealing things with totally different perspectives as they were dealing in past.

Some places not doubt are surrounded by the beauty of the nature but yet people avoid visiting such places because of the negative image of their country. We should try to visit places than to judge about the background of such place or about their country.

To my opinion the problem with the tourist visiting or stay in the philippines and bohol, is not so much about the danger wrongly quoted in many negative and pathetic sites and blogs. ( you dont need to be a super intelligent person to realise that that is no danger at all here for the matter of fact is less dangerous in compareason, for example USA, but is the imigrations issue the is at fault.
and here is why to my opinion.
1 to stay here excluding the first 21 days free if you leave the contry on or before that, the immigration charge you the most rediculous ammount of money,approx 3300 php every 59 days.
2 the lenght of stay is max 2 months at the time so you have to keep goin to the bureau of immigration instead be productive or enjoy the island etc.
3 the foreigners here are not welcome from the istitutions, goverments and politics of the philippines( but not the average filipinos, they make you feel very welcome)
4 misconception that all foreigners are rich must stop
5 big price for a lovely beach but with garbage all arround and badly organize (See thailand to compare)
6 THE POSSIBILITY TO INVEST IN THIS COUNTRY if foreigner UNLESS YOU HAVE A TRUSTED FILIPINOS WHO YOU PUT ALL YOU HAVE IN HIS/HER HANDS AND PRAY GOD FOR THE BEST OUTCOME

i agree fully about the issue of to much exploitations of the fishing industries
