“Two years after the disaster that hit Bohol, the tourists came
back in droves and inbound traffic has been increasing each year,”
Chatto said, referring to the 2013 Bohol earthquake that destroyed
countless infrastructure including centuries-old churches listed

establish more infrastructure across the province aside from
earthquake restorations like the Panglao Airport to open in August.

according to the Governor.
A manifest of their commitment to PHA’s vision,
the provincial government headed by Chatto
purchased 60 mannequins from the PHA to further
hands-only CPR trainings among Boholanos.
Ramiro said that the mannequins will be distributed
among the municipal health offices, district
hospitals, city health and provincial offices of the 47
Bohol towns. More than that, Bohol has partnered
with the New York City Police Department which
already started to donate for Bohol to acquire AEDs.
PCP acquired 23 units which will be used for the
trainings organized by internist groups in Bohol.
“Health is among Bohol’s main agenda and
medical tourism is a top priority,” Chatto stated. “We
hope to engage every Boholano in this progressive
approach.”
